I have been thinking of doing conversion notes for several of the adventures in Dungeon Magazine to make them more useful for Realms fans. Since you always have to start somewhere, I decided to start with this one, an adventure originally designed for four 4th level characters in Eberron. Still, reading through this, I came up with a few thoughts that I wanted to share.
Hopefully, I will be able to do these kind of conversion notes on several different adventures that appear in the various issues of Dungeon, though when the next adventure path swings around, I'll likely leave off on those, since Eric Boyd will actually be doing the conversion notes.
Without further ado, into the conversion . . .

Introductory Information
This adventure, when used in the Forgotten Realms, can be used in the Shining South region. Aerdane Tarhaskhal is a human Halruaan sky captain, who is flying his ship home toward Halruaa. During a particularly bad storm, he made a course correction, and his ship The Cloud Driver, was shot down.
The culprits were actually mercenaries, Servants of the Royal Egg from the lizardfolk nation of Kethid, who, with the help of a hired dwarven engineer, have shot down the Halruaan sky ship with the hopes of selling the item to their employers in Mulhorand.
The town of Dig's End should be replaced with the town of Hardcastle, detailed on page 173 of Shining South. Juffrey the Pale is an agent of Halruaa rather than House Lyrandar, as in the original adventure, but he acts the same. He seeks to hire adventurers to secure or rescue the sky ship before Halruaas rivals can recover it.
The ship crashed in the foothills of the Uthangol Mountains, located to the east of the town of Hardcastle.

Flurry of Blows (Ex): Duergar Monk can use the full attack action to make one extra attack per round with an unarmed strike or a special monk weapon at his highest base attack, but this attack and each other attack made that round suffer a -2 penalty apiece. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it affects attacks of opportunity Duergar Monk might make before his next action. When armed with his any monk special weapons, Duergar Monk makes the extra attack either with that weapon or unarmed. In any case, his damage bonus on the attack with his off hand is not reduced.

Armor Class Bonus (Ex): Duergar Monk receives a bonus to Armor Class equal to +1 plus his Wisdom bonus if not wearing armor.
Evasion (Ex): If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, Duergar Monk takes no damage with a successful saving throw.
Still Mind (Ex): Duergar Monk has a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment.
Slow Fall (Ex): Duergar Monk can use a wall within arm's reach to slow his descent. He takes damage as if the fall were +20 feet shorter than it actually Is.
Purity of Body (Ex): Duergar Monk is immune to all diseases except for supernatural and magical diseases.
Ki Strike (Su): Duergar Monk's unarmed attacks are empowered with ki. His unarmed attacks are treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Other than these stats, the encouter remains unchanged. |

KnightErrantJR: I have numerous notes from Dungeon Mag adventures I've converted over the years to fit my Realms Campaign. If your conversions catch on with folks around here, I'd be happy to share what I've done.
Am also working on a conversion for Gates of Oblivion from Dungeon #136 (18th level). This is a perfect adventure to adapt to the ruins of Tilverton.

09/20/2008: Tiger Army at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz. You wouldn’t believe how many females rode it out in the pit. Santa Cruz women are all of them beautiful. Now I know to add tough to that description.
6/27/2008: WALL-E is about the best damn movie Pixar has ever made. It had my heart racing and had me rooting for the good guy.
9/9/2006: Dave Mathews Band was off the hook at the Shoreline Amphitheater.
Never, ever read the game books too literally, or make such assumptions that what is omitted cannot be. Bad DM form, that.
And no matter how compelling a picture string theory paints, if it does not accurately describe our universe, it will be no more relevant than an elaborate game of Dungeons and Dragons. --paragraph 1, chapter 9, The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene |

Thanks for posting, KnightErrantJr. I've been skimming over the Eberron stuff in Dungeon thinking that there was little use for it (*) but you have proven me wrong in the nicest possible way! ;)
*: That's not to say that I'm anti-Eberron but that I'm rather FR-focussed. |

| That's why you never spill the beans on your "Warforged in the Realms"-idea, Oh Wooly One? |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I don't know, as soon as I read it I thought . . . you could do this in the Shining South. Its not that setting specific that it would be difficult to adapt.
As soon as I thought about the Shining South and a mercenary company though, I really wanted to use the lizard folk. I know with the goblins the bad guys seem a bit less exotic that two brained multi mouthed things or monks with tentacles, but the lizard folk mercenaries kinda make up for it, at least in my mind.
As I said earlier, I would be thrilled to hear how this works for anyone's personal campaigns if you use this adaption.

As someone who follows Eberron (but loves the Realms far more), just want to say you have done a very nice job KEJ.
I am not sure if I would ever (as a DM) see my way to making Warforged a viable race in the realms. But I could see a few of them exisitng perhaps as a highly advanced form of Gondsman (FaP) or even as some form of divine messagners of Gond. |
