Heck post them here(although would that be spoilers?)
Tallows Deep 5E Conversion
Goblin Tunnels
Goblin tunnels are small and cramped for medium sized creatures. They are treated as difficult terrain for medium sized creatures and are impassable for creatures of lare size or bigger.
While in a Goblin Tunnel creatures of medium size have disadvantage to hit and grant advantage on an opponent’s attack rolls.
Arrow Slits and Murder Holes
These are treated as ¾ cover and grant a +5 bonus to AC and dexterity saving throws. In addition the goblins gain a +2 bonus to hit while using these locations. The goblins have concealed them very well often using shadowed areas or painted canvas with peep holes. A DC 20 perception check notices them. Goblins behind the murder holes gain advantage on their stealth roles.
Alert
The skull Crusher tribe has been well drilled by Mgoglub and while in Tallows deep they have been trained to raise the alarm. A goblin will always try to alert the rest of them and certain spells such as fireball or thunderwave automatically alert the tribe.
The Goblins will activate the war drums which can be heard echoing through the mine. While on alert the PCs have disadvantage on stealth rolls as the Goblins are actively looking for intruders.
Location Conversion Notes.
6. Pit Trap. This pit trap is very hard to notice requiring a DC 20 perception check to notice. Should the PCs stand on it a DC 20 dexterity save is required. Failing the dexterity save results in 1d6 falling damage. In the bottom of the pit however there is a shrieker which will scream outputting the caverns on alert status.

12. Water trap. The goblins flood this section of the dungeon as they have diverted an underground river. A DC 20 strength save is required to avoid being swept away.

This corridor has a pool of water with spikes visible. On each side is a narrow ledge requiring a DC 20 acrobatics (with advantage) check to navigate. Behind the walls on the ledges however are 3” holes with a goblin behind them. A DC 15 perception check looking specifically at the walls notices them followed by a spear point (Goblins get automatic surprise). Anyone struck by a spear must while on the ledge must make a DC 20 acrobatics check without advantage if in combat) or fall onto the spears taking an additional 2d10 damage.
