This will be as high level as it gets as everyone will be making 20th level characters (likely 5 players but could be 4 or 6). On top of that, I'll be trying to adapt portions from the 2nd Ed box set The Rod of Seven Parts (but they don't know that just yet).So here's my conundrum: I've not yet run anything for characters that high in this system. I've also just decided tonight that we'll be using Rod of Seven Parts (which means I still have to adapt things for them) so I've got a clock ticking loudly as well.What sorts of pit falls should I be aware of and what sorts of things could get in the way of a successful execution of this plan?As I look at determining overall length of what to run, I'm looking at about 2 nights of play (maybe even into a 3rd, but not sure yet) so I'm scoping for about 12+ hours worth of play. I know that rules out running the entire adventure, but I'm hoping to adapt things from Book II (likely only the parts around pieces 6 and 7, but if there might be enough time, I'll find a way to include the search for pieces 4 and 5).I know I'll have to adapt some monsters to 5E rules, with particular focus on the monsters included in the box set.I'll also have to make sure I get some time in re-reading the books to get familiar with the story.I'll also have to update the artifact itself to 5E rules (any idea if it'll be included in the DMG?).What else might I be missing?Thanks.</blockquote>
