Yeah, or rather, just a little part of it. I have definitely been slacking on this conversion, but to be honest, there has been very little time lately. It's not that my schedule is clearing up or anything, but I will try to make an effort to speed things up, should anyone be using the stuff I post.
Also, if you are reading this, you are more than welcome to give some feedback, in terms of both good and bad things. I would love to improve what I do.
Anyway, for starters...

To be perfectly honest, I do not feel this encounter fits. IMO, and this is strickly IMO, weak and scared looters, basically bullies, should at this level just be minions. So I would probably (now that I think more about it) make it just minions. This will of course make the encounter very, very easy, but that is, again IMO, not an issue.

EXPOSING THE SPY
Skill challenge level 9 (800 xp)
Complexity 2 (requires 6 successes before 3 failures)
Primary skills: Insight (DC 22), Diplomacy (DC 18), Perception (DC 18)
Other skills: Heal (DC 17) and Streetwise (DC 19)
Victory: They expose Miha and her friends, resulting in a fight
Defeat: They fail to expose Miha. She either joins the party, plotting an ambush, or trails them, ambushing them at a very opportune (for her) moment.
This is a good example of the differences between 3rd and 4th edition. In the original module, it’s the players against Miha Serani. In order to emulate that, you would have to make a solo. But IMHO, solos should be reserved for the truly special fights, and let’s face it, this ain’t supposed to be one. In fact, it’s not even sure they bump into her. So instead of simply making her a solo, I would add a few henchmen to her entourage, rogue-like associates who hover nearby, also posing as wounded, and when fight breaks out, join the fight. Also, I couldn’t remember what an aranea was precisely. As I recall, it was sort of a lycanthrope, but instead of changing shape to a wolf, she changes to a spider. Since the original both had charm and suggestion as two of her better combat spells, I gave the new and improved the ability to dominate. Not bad for a assassin/spy.

The Greater Barghest (as well as the barghests in the earlier encounter) are heavily inspired by the ones from Dungeon Denizens. The Ogre is oh so very slightly beefed up, just for a little more punch. The Blackspawn Raiders were fairly basic straight-forward creatures originally, so I made them brutes. Overall an encounter that didn't have to be changed much.

The level of the dragon is still very much debated in my head.
I think it's pretty much safe to say that by now, this conversion is dead. The interest is just not there, I would much rather do my own stuff or work on 4e material.
Also, if you are reading this, you are more than welcome to give some feedback, in terms of both good and bad things. I would love to improve what I do.
Anyway, for starters...
Edit: added skill challenge "exposing the spy" to be used with the-not-so-sick-spy encounter.

DIRTY ROTTEN LOOTERS
To be perfectly honest, I do not feel this encounter fits. IMO, and this is strickly IMO, weak and scared looters, basically bullies, should at this level just be minions. So I would probably (now that I think more about it) make it just minions. This will of course make the encounter very, very easy, but that is, again IMO, not an issue.

EXPOSING THE SPY
Skill challenge level 9 (800 xp)
Complexity 2 (requires 6 successes before 3 failures)
Primary skills: Insight (DC 22), Diplomacy (DC 18), Perception (DC 18)
Other skills: Heal (DC 17) and Streetwise (DC 19)
Victory: They expose Miha and her friends, resulting in a fight
Defeat: They fail to expose Miha. She either joins the party, plotting an ambush, or trails them, ambushing them at a very opportune (for her) moment.
THE NOT-SO-SICK SPY
This is a good example of the differences between 3rd and 4th edition. In the original module, it’s the players against Miha Serani. In order to emulate that, you would have to make a solo. But IMHO, solos should be reserved for the truly special fights, and let’s face it, this ain’t supposed to be one. In fact, it’s not even sure they bump into her. So instead of simply making her a solo, I would add a few henchmen to her entourage, rogue-like associates who hover nearby, also posing as wounded, and when fight breaks out, join the fight. Also, I couldn’t remember what an aranea was precisely. As I recall, it was sort of a lycanthrope, but instead of changing shape to a wolf, she changes to a spider. Since the original both had charm and suggestion as two of her better combat spells, I gave the new and improved the ability to dominate. Not bad for a assassin/spy.

The Greater Barghest (as well as the barghests in the earlier encounter) are heavily inspired by the ones from Dungeon Denizens. The Ogre is oh so very slightly beefed up, just for a little more punch. The Blackspawn Raiders were fairly basic straight-forward creatures originally, so I made them brutes. Overall an encounter that didn't have to be changed much.

The level of the dragon is still very much debated in my head.
I think it's pretty much safe to say that by now, this conversion is dead. The interest is just not there, I would much rather do my own stuff or work on 4e material.

Wouldn't the not-so-sick-spy include or be a skill challenge? It seems like a great event to have a skill challenge for.Posted 24th March 2009 at 08:43 AM by MichaelSomething

That's a good idea. Will implement that.Posted 24th March 2009 at 12:15 PM by Jack99 -
Hi jack
You are doing a great job converting this adventure, if you don't mind I'm going to steal some of your ideas for my game :-)
I have read the latest encounters, and I would like to comment two things:
- regarding the bell tower, I don't know how the hobgoblins are going to shoot the players without a ranged attack. Maybe you should use the lvl 3 hobgoblin archer and level it up to 7 or 8.
- For the town hall roof, I recommend you use 4 ogre scouts from level up #1, they are great given the situation: great range attack and good damage.
I hope this helps.Posted 12th May 2009 at 10:12 PM by sc8rpi8n - Glad you can find some use for my conversion.
I have no idea how the hobgoblins lost their ranged attack. I was pretty sure that I had given them one. Apparently not.
Will check out LU1 and see about the Ogres, thanks for the feedback.
CheersPosted 14th May 2009 at 12:14 PM by Jack99 -
C'mon Jack, keep the faith! I'm still here poaching your stuff.Posted 15th July 2009 at 05:12 AM by renau1g
