E1: ORCUS CONVERSION

E1: DEATH'S REACH

I started out with the ambition of changing the 4th Edition adventure series H1: Keep on the Shadowfell, H2: Thunderspire Labyrinths, and H3: Pyramid of Shadows – as there was very little in the plotline that really tied these adventures together into a full story.

Having just finished up the conversion of P3 i think E1, E2 and E3 is very well tied into the overall Orcus plotline, so there is no greater need for any adjustments. However, I will look into updating the monsters to the new formats introduced in Monsters Vault. Other than that I might just do some add ons if I feel it would add value to the story or introduce some new exciting elements.

Please note that you should read through P1 to P3 Conversion Guides first, as it gives you the full background story to the campaign.

PROLOGUE

The Throne of Fate was icy cold and made of black stone, as dark as the night itself. But the icy cold did not seem to affect the exposed naked skin of the woman sitting on top of the throne. Her skin was frosty white, and as delicate and perfect as a marble statue. Frost covered the glittering skin, and reflected the light from the hundreds of circling souls above the Court of Judgement. Her clothing was black andmade of raven feathers and dark iron, as spiky and intimidating as death's final call. Black hair fell from her head like treads of shadow. The Staff of Final Judgement held firmly in her right hand. Her black eyes were lost to the void.

"My Lady, what is your final judgement for this soul? Where should he be sent for his final reward?" said the thunderous voice of one of the sorrowsworn that had a shimmering visp of a man held firmly by his black hand.

But the Raven Queen neither heard nor saw her faithful servant. She was lost to the reconning. She suddenly saw it all. All

those memories she had locked away, killed, destoyed and abandoned. Her childhood − it all came back to her as the Vortex of Soul was destroyed and revealed to the world again. It was like being thrown into a river of icy water. She was struggling to reach the surface, and not being pulled under by the strong rapids of memories and childhood traumas.

She had once been mortal.

She was from the City of Midnight.

Her name had been Sartine…..

She even remembered all her fears and all the pain that had been caused to her by Nerull − the God of Death − her husband and nightmare. He had ravaged her body and soul without showing any mercy. He had left her broken, but never given her the relief of death. She remembered the murder of Nerull by her own hands, the joy she had fell, as her nemesis had begged for his life, and she had shown as much mercy as he had done to her.

It all came back. So much pain, that had been locked away with that ritual that had saved her life from the anger of the gods.

But that was no more. The ritual had been broken, and by mere mortals as well − the Ravensworn.

Her divine awarness stretched out. Touched the fortress she had herself build around the Well of Souls with the help of the Keepers.

Orcus

The Blood Lord

She could feel his precense at the site − his dark scheming, ever present. So that was how he had been growing in power. He had been using the same soul magic as her to reach godhood, hidden by her own magic. The irony, the same magic that had let her kill her husband and take is mantle, as godess over the dead − Orcus, the former servant of Nerull was now using to rise to power. It was obvious what the demon prince ambitions were. He had always coveted her throne. If he were to succeed, the world of the living would be a true nightmare. The borders between life and death would disappear. No mortal soul would ever reach the

heavens and the homes of the gods. They would be doomed to an eternal life of undeath in a world of terror and hunger for living flesh.

The Blood Lord needed to be stopped. His plans were much more far-reaching than what one could expect from a mere demon prince. What had he done with all that soul-energy? Some he had obviously vesseled into his own ascension; to grow stronger and shorten the step to divinity, but something was wrong. She felt it. There were more to Orcus deceptions that just the Well of Souls. She needed to find out the full reach of his treachery.

She needed the Ravensworn…..

Statis Vault: The stasis vault is meant to keep its contents in and trespassers out, but its semivisible shell allows would-be looters to see within.

Read: A Silver-blue lines of glowing energy form afloor-to-ceiling box in the center of this ovoid-shaped chamber.

Statis Vault (A) Level 23 Warder Trap XP 5,100 Detect Percetion DC 27: The character spots the astral diamonds

that serve as the anchors for the stasis vault, and can target those anchors; Arcana DC 20: The character senses the magic of the stasis vault's walls. The check isn't possible from more than 5 squares away; Arcana DC 27: After detecting the stasis vault or seeing it in action, the character identifies it, and understands how it attacks and that it has anchors that must be disabled to breach it; Arcana DC 37 (trained only): The character can see the stasis vault walls and understands its weaknesses. Such a character knows where the anchors are and gains +2 on any countermeasure check.

Immune attacks Initiative − TRIGGERED ACTIONS M Attack A * At-Will

Trigger: When a creature tries to enter a stasis vault square without using a countermeasure, or ends its turn adjacent to but not inside the vault's perimeter, the vault uses attack A. W h e n a creature ties to teleport into the vault, it is shunted to the nearest square outside the vault, and the teleporting creature is attacked in that square.

Attack (Immediate Reaction): Melee 1 (one creature); +27 vs. Fortitude Hit: 4d10 + 17 damage, and the target is dazed (save ends), pushed 3 squares, and knocked prone. Miss: Half damage, and the target is pushed 2 squares. Effect: When the stasis vault attacks, the energy web become visible for a split second as a fluctuating weave of silvery energy.

M Attack B * At-Will

Trigger: A creature enters or starts its turn within the vault. Attack (Immediate Reaction): Melee 1 (one creature); +27 vs. Will Hit: 3d10 + 7 damage, and the target is stunned until the start of its next turn. Miss: No damage, and the target is slowed and must succeed on a DC 27 Athletics check to move 1 square. For every 5 points by which the check result exceeds the DC, the character can move another square. (The character can still run, if the check allows enough movement.) COUNTERMEASURES * Avoid: A DC 27 Acrobatics check allows a character to move

by any means through the stasis vault's perimeter into its area without triggering trigger A.

* Disable: A character adjacent to an anchor point can disable it with a DC 32 Thievery check or a DC 37 Arcana check. If half the anchor points are disabled, the vault collapses and all its effects end.

* Destroy: If a creature leaves the stasis vault with the last of the vault's contents, the vault collapses and is destroyed. All its effects end.

Special: Creatures that are pushed or slid into the pit gain a saving throw to hang onto the edge. Creatures that fail the save fall into darkness. In truth, they are teleported into a silvery space of divine creation, not unlike the expanse of the Astral Sea. They remain in this divine space each round (save ends) and are subject to attack. COUNTERMEASURES * Avoid: A creature in the burst can minimize the damage of

the extrusion with a DC 33 Acrobatics check made as an immediate interrupt before the attack. W i t h a successful check, the creature takes half damage on a hit, and no damage on a miss.

* Avoid: Leaping beyond the pit into the far side of the corridor cuts off a character from the affects of the kinetic arches trap.
