Description
***Free to use, for non-profit/non-commercial purposes.***I made this map for the Dungeons and Dragon's game I am running (5th edition). Here is a simple, larger crypt that I used for a forgotten king, located in an ancient cemetery that had been consumed in a swamp. Fun times! I left the details pretty open on this one, so you could put what you want, where you want. Makes it easier to reuse for different purposes.
***PRINTING METHODS***
Printing a map this size on one sheet requires poster sized prints, which is really expensive. It can run anywhere from $40-$100 or more, in some places. However, if you print them onto several sheets of regular printer paper and tape them together, it's much cheaper, usually only costing a few dollars. here's how I do it:
1. Download a program called PosteRazor. It's a freeware program that can output a PDF file that separates a larger image into smaller sections that can be printed on regular sized paper. Here's the link: posterazor.sourceforge.net/
2. Upload the map image file into PosteRazor, and choose your settings based on your desired output. You can select the papersize (I choose US Letter size), printer margins, overlapping size (for where individual sheets meet), image size/scale, and image alignment. The last step, once you have the settings how you want them, is to export it into a PDF document, for print.
3. Take/send your PDF file to your local print shop, and ask them to print each page of the PDF file on your chosen paper size (I use US Letter size). Paper size must be the same as whatever you chose in PosteRazor.
4. Take the printed sheets home and use a hobby knife and a ruler (or scissors, if that's all you have), and trim off the white borders where the image was not printed, on each sheet.
5. Tape the trimmed sheets together, where they match on the printed image.

I basically just draw maps for the game I am running and share them. They may or may not end up being unique, but hey, these are free, at least!

Funny, eh? We are enjoying it. Easy enough to get into without feeling overwhelmed, and yet plenty of room to home brew rules for detail.

Cool. But one ability for instant. I stand in one square one enemy infront and other adjacent to him. I swing my sword and if I hit the one infront it kills both.

The only ability like that is called "sweeping attack" and it's a fighter/battlemaster maneuver. I think you misinterpreted the rule. It's not nearly that powerful.
Sweeping attack goes like this:
- Bob, the level 3 fighter, vs 3 kobolds
- x2 light armor kobolds (ac 13, hp 7)
- 1 heavy armor kobold (ac 15, hp 7)
- On Bob's turn, bob attacks a light armor kobold, and scores a 14 for attack, hitting it.
- Bob uses "sweeping attack" to attack the second light armor kobold to his left, and hits it, because it's ac is less than his original attack roll of 14.
- Bob gets to apply his superiority die (1d8 at level 3) to deal damage to the second kobold.
- The round plays out with Bob dealing regular melee weapon damage to the first target (weapon damage dice plus modifiers), and superiority die damage to the second target. The second target does not receive regular weapon damage or modifiers, ONLY the superiority die. That's only 1-8 damage. Not much, but potentially enough to kill a kobold.
- Now, if Bob instead tried to use his "sweeping attack" maneuver to hit the heavily armored kobold (not knowing it's ac), he would fail to hit, because his original score of 14 is too low to hit the heavy armored kobold's ac of 15. This means the maneuver is wasted. As you can see, this attack is meant for weaker enemies that have less hp than what your superiority die can deal.
Ultimately, a maneuver like "trip attack" or "feinting strike" would be better in most cases, because you can add the superiority die to your total damage against one creature, instead of spreading it between two creatures. After all, it's better to focus fire most creatures to make sure that they go down and cannot attack back on their turn. Action economy, and all that.
As far as what the attack represents, it seems obvious that it's meant to be a sweeping attack that hits more than one target, doing damage to each. Sort of "spreading the love" if you will. If you are considering that your fighter is a "hero" level combatant, hitting two enemies with your melee weapon in one attack doesn't seem that silly. I could honestly see an iconic fantasy warrior doing something like this, like Boromir vs the orcs etc.

Head splitting eye sockets? What is that?

Haha I know what eye sockets are, I just didn't understand what you meant when you said "head splitting eye sockets at time of post". Head splitting eye sockets? What does that mean? I have never heard that phrase before.
