[QUOTE="JonnyP71, post: 6896887, member: 6788862"] I converted X2, X4 and X5 from the Expert series of adventures for my players - they started X2 at level 6..... Where one of them died due to a Magic Jar being destroyed while the possessed body was too far away. They managed X4 fine, but then 2 of them (levels 9, 11) were wiped in the finale against The Master, who I converted to be a slightly weakened Lich casting Priest spells (as an Avatar, with his corpse in a crystal coffin in the room where they were fighting him). Sadly for them, all they had to do was 50hp of damage to his corpse - and despite me dropping plenty of hints - 'Your Shatter spell destroys the front of the crystal coffin, damaging the corpse inside' and 'Caught within the area of effect of your spell you see pieces of the corpse come away' - they kept plugging away at the Avatar and his Guards. Oh and the enslaved Storm Giant who came to do the Master's bidding... Destroy the body, the Avatar would have disappeared, the spell would have been broken over the Giant, and the Cult Guards would have been in disarray and easy to deal with. The others made their death saves, got captured, broke out unnoticed - but instead of sneaking away to safety, got stuck into more fighting - with another of them getting swamped by enemies and being cut down... And then there was one - he was lucky he had an Ebony Fly... [/QUOTE]
