Kensai Challenger – Hetuzud the Sky Pirate (Level 8)

Following the rules for kensai levelling up the kensai must fight a duel each time he levels – with a 10% chance per level. My PC got his first challenge at level 8 and he was in a spirit haunted forest so I thought I’d use a spirit as the kensai challenger. HETUZUD THE SKY PIRATE Medium […]

The Blue Medusa Psathyrella

I am currently prepping Maze of the Blue Medusa as the first part of my Clash of the Titans campaign. Many of the monsters I just intend on swapping them with 5e equivalents and not worrying about CR – with a few exceptions. Psathyrella is an exception. Here is the first draft/conversion for 5e. Duelist, singer, […]

The Garden of Vivid Decay

I took the cut content from Forest of Spirits and updated it for 5e and used it as part of the overall adventure. I used cards to navigate the garden itself instead of mapping it out – just abstracted it away. I had a minimum of cards the PCs had to explore otherwise they were […]

Anumaramon (Boss Fight)

We finished the Oriental Campaign today with a final battle with Anumaramon. My PCs were level 20 and they just full on frontal assaulted the palace while their armies were engaging the Typhoon Guard. I made it clear, the Typhoon Guard, which is mostly oni, would win if the PCs didn’t deal with Anumaramon and […]

the chameleon women of the neonate empires

I am currently prepping Maze of the Blue Medusa as the first part of my Clash of the Titans campaign. Many of the monsters I just intend on swapping them with 5e equivalents and not worrying about CR – with a few exceptions. The chameleon woman are one of those exceptions. Since they can appear a lot […]

Skill Challenge: Travel to the House of Withered Blossoms

I like skill challenges for abstracting away long travels. My PCs encountered the first 2 fail encounter and first 3 success encounters. SKILL CHALLENGE Travel to the House of Withered Blossoms You set off from Ordan-Aganhei as autumn draws to a close and snow begins to fall. Complexity Requires [number of PCs] successes before 3 […]

FIVE STORM NINJA KIKONU

At the end of the characters stay in Ordan-Aganhei they are ambushed by a ninja during a parade (the ninja’s were hidden in the paper dragon). These ninja’s were lead by Kikonu (v3.0). Kikonu was supported by 8 five storm ninjas and an unlimited number of kenku ninja minions (see below). I also added a […]

The House of Withered Blossoms

The dungeon was split into two sections – the pagoda itself and the dungeon below – Munasukaru’s Penance. I didn’t modify the pagoda except to add an Amrita Trap. My PCs scouted the pagoda using conjured spiders, speak with animals and a wild shaped shaman and decided that up was not the right way to […]

Five Storm Ninja

At the end of the characters stay in Ordan-Aganhei they are ambushed by a ninja during a parade (the ninja’s were hidden in the paper dragon). These ninja’s were lead by Kikonu (v3.0). The other interesting thing is that the Geisha pc (22 Charisma!) accepted the proposal from Prince Batsaikhar. She did this because she […]

sujin makoto

This adventure, Five Deadly Shadows, is from Dungeon #195. A 4e adventure which I converted to 5e. I used this to show the players two things – the larger spiritual battle happening between Amaterasu and Tsuki-Yomi vs the oni god Fumeiyoshi. As well as the cultural difference between East and West in particular for a Japanese-analogue […]
