HUSK SPIDER

The husk spider guards the tunnel between the Pagoda and Munasukaru’s Penance. Perception DC 22: The spider is desiccated and moves awkwardly. You think it might actually be an undead husk of a spider! HUSK SPIDER Huge undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 11 (natural armor) Hit Points 136 (13d12 + 52) Speed 40 ft., climb 30 ft. STR DEX CON […]

The Pinnacle and Writhing Tower

I simplified this encounter as the PCs engaged this encounter right after the swine shogun which was a pretty epic battle. I also changed it to a straight up cyclops-oni (a reskinned cyclops). If the PCs had this encounter first and prevented the gong from being run then I would have ran it as written. The Pinnacle […]

Tsuchigumo – The Great Sea Spider

To make sense of these entries you will need to look at the adventure flowchart which gives context and explains my changes but it’s essentially a conversion of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament but with a […]

krakentua

Continuing with the 2nd edition Oriental Adventures conversions. Krakentua seems to be made up from whole-cloth with no reference to Japanese/Asian mythologies. Seems to be a kraken with legs or a really, really big mind flayer. KRAKENTUA Gargantuan fiend (titan, oni), chaotic evil Armor Class 18 (natural armor) Hit Points 472 (27d20 + 189) Speed 20 ft., fly 60 […]

The Deathshrieker

A nice counter to large parties of PCs with lots of actions. Used as part of the Bronze Liche encounter. Deathshreaker Medium undead (construct), chaotic evil Armor Class 20 (natural armor) Hit Points 128 (32d8) Speed 0 ft., fly 50 ft. (hover) STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 1 (-5) 20 (5) 10 (0) 20 […]

Ithkarsus – Epic Kraken Cleric

Looking to use Raising of Redshore (Dungeon 092) as a gateway to epic leveling as well as a way to bring the octopi into the Oni Wars. Here is one of the more interesting enemies converted to 5e. Ithkarsus has a dire shark animal companion (use a dragon turtle stat block). I really don’t like […]
