Zardnaar
Legend
Sometimes I am in a hurry to knock out an adventure but I only have an hour or two spare. This is a very rough example of how I more or less wing stuff. First I'll find a map I like. In this case here.
From the Mummy's Mask AP Pathfinder.
If you have played Kingmaker you understand the basic idea of this map. I'll print a blank map for the PCs.
IN my head and notes I have the mnetaplot, I can use existing fluff to describe the locations along with the maps of key locations.
Then I will go though and list the locations under the original name and restock them with 5E equivalents
For example each location on the map is translated into 5E in abbreviated form. Group is 6 6th level PCs hence some stinker encounters. The adult blue Dragons are not really there to be fought as such but the PCs can take sides and help defeat one I suppose.
Slavers
Gnoll Slavers, elite Gnolls+ flind. 4 Gnoll Gladators+ flind
The Singing Storm
Behir MM,
The Deserts Hunger
Bulette 4
Salt Lake
3 salt develis+salt golem. The devils are supervising 12 slaves here mining salt. They know about the Tamasheq and the Gnoll slavers.
Merchants Oasis
Nurian Merchants
Falchion Ridge
Wyverns
The Dragons Galley
Lair of Darzuul- (somewhat friendly. Bored, tribute ofered freely= advantage on persuasion checks). Likes ale and music His horde is around 30 000 gp worth of stuff, a +1 spear, +1 shield of fire resistance, and Dawnbringer (greatsword, bonus action to deal radiant damage, +2d6 damage to undead).
Thirae Hive
Rename Tosculi Hive
Chisiseks Tomb
See adventure but Gnoll lair
Dunes of Death
Replace Sand Kraken with Dune mimic with maxium hit points and an extar dice of damage (+1 CR)
Slain Scout
As written but the scout is being eaten by a XYZ
Garden of Symmetry
Lenzulia's lair (adult blue dragon)
Lair of the King
As written
Scorched Obelisk
As written, Lenzulia uses it for breath weapon practice
Walled Oasis
As written but with Gnolls
Nomad Camp
Desert Tribe- Tamasheq
As written
Ruins of Kher Ma
Yuan Ti group. Seeks to manipulate the PCs.
Steel Feathered Ibises
4 dinosaurs here (raptors) but they have hard scales (DC 17) and resistant to fire
Bronze Sentinel
Treat as a fire giant in stats with immunities of an iron golem. Inert however, looks like an ancient Darzi with pharonic headress. 4 Gnoll gladiators are here.
The Sightless Sphinx
Main Gnoll camp
Total time for quick and easy conversion about an hour. I'll just ad hoc in 5E DCs and what skills to use based on the Pathfinder description.
