I converted the Forge of Fury to 4e. The adventure begins with the players searching for the entrance to an old Dwarven stronghold.
There are several outcomes and the players can use a variety of skills to find the entrance. I thought this could be a good handled as a skill challenge.
Here are a few elements from the original 3e version:
1) Search the path DC17 finds Orc tracks along the path
2) Searching the hill gives a chance at intuit direction DC 15 to determine the direction of the Chimney.
3) While on the hill side a DC 13 search finds the chimney.
4) While searching the hill DC 18 finds the old orc tunnel.
5) Wait and watch has the potential to spot some orcs or be ambushed by orcs.
6) Moving up the path to the entrance the group could surprise or be spotted by some orcs guarding the entrance.
