Chapter 2: Zargath Human-Bane

Three encounters in this chapter are converted, and you can check the table below to find the original reference in Exemplars of Evil.

Section/Statistics	Page
Encounter 2–1	42
Encounter 2–2	44
Encounter 2–3	46

Encounter 2–1: Trophy Room

Encounter Level 11 (3,300 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• Replace the 13 orc soldiers with 13 orc warriors (see Monster Manual, page 203).
• Replace the gray ooze with an ochre jelly (see Monster Manual, page 202).
• Replace the wight with a dread zombie myrmidon (see Open Grave, page 197).
• There are no replacements for the wight spawns (see "Tactics," below).
• Replace the 2 gnoll mercenaries with 2 gnoll marauders (see Monster Manual, page 132).
• Replace the orc captain with an orc chieftain (see Monster Manual, page 204).

Tactics

Instead of a wight, the orcs in this room open a stone coffin containing a dread zombie myrmidon. The zombie myrmidon acts in the same way as the wight in the original adventure, but it lacks the ability to create spawns.

Encounter 2–2: Library

Encounter Level 11 (3,200 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• See below for the replacement Dwarreg (D) stat block.
• Replace the 8 orc soldiers (O) with 8 orc warriors (see Monster Manual, page 203).
• Replace the orc captain (C) with 2 orc chieftains (see Monster Manual, page 204).
• Replace the human captives (H) with unarmed human rabble (see Monster Manual, page 162).

Tactics

The orc soldiers charge the nearest target who is an obvious fighter type. The orc captain uses lead from the front to inspire his troops and wild strike to try to move behind the party's main fighters.

Dwarreg skirts the main melee by using the tables and benches for cover as he tries to reach obvious spellcasters. He uses his sticky concoction power to keep attackers off his back, as he methodically goes after his prey. If things go badly, he grabs a human captive, threatening to kill him if the PCs do not let him leave safely.

Encounter 2–3: Audience Hall

Encounter Level 13 (4,000 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• See below for the replacement Zargath Human-Bane (Z) stat block.
• See below for the replacement War Leader Grikfell (Gf) stat block.
• See below for the replacement Gurn Sirensong (G) stat block.
• Replace the bugbear ambassador (B) with a bugbear warrior (see Monster Manual, page 135).
• Replace Elbeth (E) with a worg (see Monster Manual, page 265).
• Replace the 8 orc soldiers (O) with 8 orc warriors (see Monster Manual, page 203).

Tactics

When the PCs enter the audience hall, the creatures within act quickly to deal with intruders.

Warleader Grikfell and Elbeth lead the orcs soldiers in a charge to keep the intruders away from the dais. He keeps as close as possible to Elbeth and other allies so they can benefit from his inspiring shout.

The bugbear ambassador aids where he can, attempting to sneak behind the PCs' defenses to use his predatory eye combined with a skullthumper attack on a soft leader or controller target.

Gurn takes cover when the PCs arrive and hurls a fiery rain into the largest concentration of visible foes. Thereafter he uses his missile barrage against controllers and other ranged attackers and startling glamour against enemies getting too close.

As soon as combat begins, Zargath wades into battle and seeks out the largest group of enemies so he can use his dance of death and swift counterstrike to greatest effect. If his troops are obviously losing, he flees, sacrificing any of his companions to aid in his escape.

Chapter 3: The Tolstoffs

Chapter 3 presents individuals that do not appear in any of the associated tactical encounters, plus encounter updates. Check the table below to find the original reference in Exemplars of Evil.

The encounters in this chapter can be used in conjunction with Chapter Nine of Elder Evils. Refer to the upcoming web enhancement for 4th Edition statistics of that book.

Section/Statistics	Page
Spawn of Kyuss	56
Encounter 3–1	58
Encounter 3–2	60
Encounter 3–3	62

The target is cured.

Initial Effect The target regains only half the normal hit points from healing effects.

Final State The target regains only half the normal hit points from healing effects. In addition, each time the afflicted creature fails to improve, it takes 5 necrotic damage that cannot be cured until the disease is removed. If the afflicted creature dies, it immediately rises as a level-equivalent spawn of Kyuss.

3–1 Barbican

Encounter Level 7 (1,600 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• See below for the replacement 4 corrupted warriors (G) stat block.
• See below for the replacement corrupted commander (C).

Tactics

When confronted with foes, the corrupted warriors prefer to stay in the barbican raining down arrows on those outside it. They use corruption shot to limit the effectiveness of their foes.

The corrupted commander gets into melee as soon as foes enter the barbican, commanding his archers to support him from a distance. He targets the biggest enemy warrior with sickening blow and then commands warriors around him to attack with his commanding rally.

3–2 Chapel

Encounter Level 7 (1,700 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• Replace the gibbering mouther (M) with the monster of the same name (see Monster Manual, page 126).
• Replace the average psurlon (P) with a grell philosopher (see Monster Manual, page 144).

Tactics

In battle, the two creatures stay away from each other so that they do not catch each other with their burst powers. Both creatures also use the pews for cover with the hope that they can also stop foes from surrounding them.

The gibbering mouther uses its gibbering power following it up with gibbering feast whenever possible.

The grell uses lightning lance as soon as possible and psychic storm to slow its enemies' actions.

3–3 Catacombs

Encounter Level 11 (2,950 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• See below for the replacement Edgar Tolstoff (E) stat block.
• See below for the replacement Katarin Tolstoff (K) stat block.
• Replace the gloom golem (G) with the blood amniote (see Open Grave, page 174).
• See below for the replacement Draen Ralgael stat block.
• Replace the 6 corrupted dire rats with 6 dire rats (see Monster Manual, page 219).
• There is no replacement for the fiendish wolverine.

Tactics

As soon as the blood amniote is aware of intruders, it oozes forth to dispatch them, wasting no time to pull enemies in with body snatch followed by its deadly blood drain.

Edgar and Katarin let the gloom golem take the brunt of melee attacks while hurling their spells from a distance.

If Draen and his rats are present, they dart into and out of battle to try to move behind the party's front rank to strike at weaker attackers. Draen tries to gain combat advantage against his foes so that he deals more damage.

Chapter 4: Captain Gnash

Chapter 4 presents individuals that do not appear in any of the associated tactical encounters, plus some encounter updates. You can use the table below to reference the other original source material that accompanies the converted material.

Section/Statistics	Page
Captain Gnash	67
Pog	70
Encounter 4–1	74
Encounter 4–2	76

• Replace 6 pseudonatural goblins (G) with 6 goblin skullcleavers (see Monster Manual, page 137).
• Replace the 4 pseudonatural hobgoblins (H) with 4 hobgoblins soldiers (see Monster Manual, page 139).

In the original text, the goblins and hobgoblins have the pseudonatural template, which radically alters their appearance. Be sure to use the appropriate descriptive text presented in the readaloud text for this encounter to properly evoke the otherworldly strangeness of the crew.

Tactics

In battle, the goblin lookout stays in the crow's nest and rains down bolts at any intruders. He targets wizards and other ranged attackers whenever possible.

The rest of the crew charges into battle as soon as opponents appear. The goblins are particularly foolhardy, and they try to bull rush intruders off the Much Kill if they linger near the rails. The hobgoblins approach more cautiously, fighting in pairs or even larger groups to make best use of cooperative tactics.

4–2 Lower Deck

Encounter Level 6 (1,450 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• Replace Felcar the Unclean (E) with a foulspawn berserker (see Monster Manual, page 112).
• Replace 2 Fecar's Boys (V) with 3 foulspawn manglers (see Monster Manual, page 112).

Tactics

Fecar's boys charge fearlessly into combat using dagger dance to force a way through the party's front line, and they create opportunities for their master, while staying out his berserker aura.

Fecar charges into the fray, disrupting enemies with its aura and wreaking as much havoc as possible.

4–3 The Hold of Madness

Encounter Level 10 (2,800 XP)

Make the following replacements for this encounter:

• See below for the replacement The Thing in the Hold (K) stat block.
• Replace 7 bloodbloaters (B) with 3 bloodrots (see Open Grave, page 174).

Tactics

As soon as intruders enter the hold, the hungry bloodrots swarm toward them.

The Thing stays behind the swarm of bloodrots and uses its reach to strike at foes. It also uses its stinger to positions itself so that the immobilized opponents cannot attack it. When the Thing is bloodied, it moves forward to attack as many foes as it can.

Tactics

Calais's guards react immediately to intruders by using darkfire to improve their damage with their hand crossbows. They each fire once before closing with intruders.

Calais stays out of melee as long as possible and uses her powers to injure intruders and to heal her guards. She uses dread command on the first opponent getting close to her and Lolth's doom against obvious enemy spellcasters.

Emmara stays back from melee, using the golems as cover. She starts with warlock's bargain and uses warlock's curse to deal more damage to her target. She uses harrowstone to deal with an intruder reaching her position and saves thirsting maw for when she is bloodied. If her golem servants are slain and she is gravely threatened, she uses cloak of shadows to flee.

If the battle is going badly, she calls for the forge callers to cover her escape.

The hell hounds use their fiery breath to fill the area in front of the gate with flame and death. If a hell hound's fiery breath recharges, it uses it immediately.

The fire giants let the hell hounds breathe before spreading out across the courtyard to stop opponents slipping past them.

If one of her foes is isolated from the rest, she uses wingclap to reach the foe. Whenever her breath weapon recharges, she uses it right away.
