E2: ORCUS CONVERSION

E2: KINGDOM OF THE GHOULS

I started out with the ambition of changing the 4th Edition adventure series H1: Keep on the Shadowfell, H2: Thunderspire Labyrinths, and H3: Pyramid of Shadows – as there was very little in the plotline that really tied these adventures together into a full story.

Having just finished up the conversion of P3 i think E1, E2 and E3 is very well tied into the overall Orcus plotline, so there is no greater need for any adjustments. However, I will look into updating the monsters to the new formats introduced in Monsters Vault. Other than that I might just do some add ons if I feel it would add value to the story or introduce some new exciting elements.

Please note that you should read through P1 to P3 Conversion Guides first, as it gives you the full background story to the campaign.

BLACK BLOODSPAWN GORGIMRITH LORE

A character knows the following information about Gorgimrith with a successful Arcana or Religion check.

DC 29: Gorgimrith, a massive undead entity, is also known as the Hunger in the Mountain. It is said to be part of the Mountain of Mouths in the White Kingdom, and the mountain is littered with maws that lead into Gorgimrith's interior. Blood drains from the entity's veins to form the Lake of Black Blood. Gorgimrith's progeny are called black bloodspawn, and they are the entity's primary means of devouring food.

DC 38: Gorgimrith might be a fragment of a primordial entity of hunger. A few sages suspect that Gorgimrith also exists beyond the White Kingdom and possibly can be found on other layers of the Abyss—and on other planes, as well. In fact, some claim that it is possible, albeit incredibly dangerous, to travel through Gorgimrith to reach locations in different layers of the Abyss or on other planes.

Trigger: When the chest is opened and a creature is within or moves within 5 squares of the soul gem, it rolls initiative and attacks. Effect: The gem can make a free attack anytime a creature tries to retrieve an item from the chest. COUNTERMEASURE * Disable: A character can attempt to remove the soul gem

from its socket and thereby disable it by making three DC 29 Thievery checks (each as a standard action). Success detaches the gem and disables the trap. Failure causes the gem to explode (close burst 8, 4d10 + 20 radiant damage and stunned [save ends] to all living creatures in burst).

* Destroy: A character can attack the gem. When reduced to 0 hit points, the gem explodes in a close burst 8, as above. Destroying the gem destroys the trap.
