[QUOTE="Psychotic Jim, post: 133327, member: 547"] [b]Freeport Linkage (Spoilers)[/b] Well, I ran it heavily modified, but that was mainly because the players started out at higher levels- 2 6th level, and the rest were all 3rd-4th levels, so I don't know how much help my suggestion on what to do with the dragon priest. When I ran the module, I took out the troll priest completetly and replaced him with a mummified cleric of the same cult as that of the Unspeakable One as in the Freeport Trilogy. I fixed a sort of greater mummy template for my version of the priest (similar to the Ancient Dead template out of Ravenloft 3E) and gave him lots of levels in cleric. Basically, after the players freed the mummy, it used its [I]Fear Aura[/I] to send the PCs running away long enough for the mummy to make good its escape. The mummy, having been a former cultist of the Unspeakable One, was entombed alive for heresy against the Unspeakable One. I had the mummy want to wreak vengeance on the members of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign (the cult that worships the Unspeakable One) for burying it in the crypt so long ago. The PCs would encounter the mummy later in Freeport attacking some of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign. Oh, and I had the sunless citadel fixed as not really worshipping dragons, but just using that as a coverup for what the Brotherhood really worshipped- an unspeakably evil alien intelligence. You might want to replace the troll with some evil waiting to be unleashed upon the land, so concerned with its own goals that it just frightens the PCs away and goes off to provide adventure scenarios for the future. Or you might just want to replace it with a normal mummy if the PCs don't have access to fire (I think a mummy's CR is about 3 anyway). [/QUOTE]
