[QUOTE="Anthony Winter, post: 7478227, member: 6916765"] [b]Enhancng thw tomb of diderius[/b] Ive just finished runn8ng through the tomb of diderius and have a few points to make to enhance it, upgrade if you need to and shift the focus a little. - previously in the first council meeting the pcs learned that varam was rumoured intheserpent hills, te pcs were dispatched to the sea of movng ice and another adventuring group was sent to the hill. - another group of heroes was sent to soubar to slay a great green dragon that was ravaging the countryside. - The pcs found out from macath that varam called on makath to fond the location of the well of diderius. - the location was revealed as serpent ISLE not hills so the others guys had a bad lead. - this helped lead the pcs straight on in pursuit of varam on the rocky desert serpent isle. - they found varams beached longship but guards were gone(killed by predatory yuan ti) - they found the tmple and scouting around discovered some shallow graves. And blood marks leading to the well. - i changed the trolls to blue and red slaad.(all grey so it didnt give the game away for those monster manual readers). I use the colour as just the portal iol slick colour when they are either banished or summoned. And the colour of thier blood. - they searched down the well and found blood pools where the red slaad feasted o;the remaining guards. there was on guard corpse ther that had a viscious chest wound. The pc barbarian recoginised this as similar to the wickedly barbed spears of his people, hinting at the chest burst death of a red slaad victim. Other Monster. changes - my pcs are quite a bit more powerful so i have 3 stone golems instead of one. - manticore i simply reskinned to a land based beast with 5 base attacks instead of 3. - i changed the barbed devils into male 3 erinyes easily mostaken for angels. These erinyes massacrd the mumies that our pc priest turned so the pcs were also wary of attacking. i played the erinyes as entirely despising varam and the followers of tiamat in general so willing to assist the party with information. - despite their level the party had real trouble withfood and water. On their first rest retreat they went hungry and did some tense digging in the wet sand at the base of the well to find potable water. - i havent played outthe yuan ti section yet but have planted a grey slaad in human form as another captive. He is really relishing causing chaos amongst the yuan ti sureptitiously. When the party are parleying he is goignto see an opportunity for causing more trouble and will choose that point to break his weakened bonds, attack the yuan ti from the rear and call on his ‘rescuers’ assistance against thes vile cannibal snake people.
