Lair of the Corrupted Blades, full dungeon as generated by HEXROLL

Below is the full dungeon that was randomly generated by HEXROLL. I made several adjustments, turning the caverns into a full kobold lair for example, adding kobold traps and defensive positions in the passages, tying some rooms together to make the dungeon more thematic. But overall, I'm impressed with how much thematic continuity HEXROLL is able to create even with random tables.
