The idea is to give an adventuring party easy access to lower levels without having to trudge through all those levels in between.

What I really like about this iteration is the image of looking down (or up) and seeing various bridges below (and/or above) connecting different parts of different levels.

Using these, I'll be able to include it on several dungeon levels. Enjoy:
