Just finished the Heroes 3 Adventure Objects page! Angelspit and I have been working on this page for a while, we would have gotten it out sooner, too, but some technical issues arose, so it took a little longer than expected. The other link on the page is reserved for the external creature dwellings, which will be done in the near future. Enjoy! Untitled Document Adventure Objects | Creature Dwellings
