SJ 2e Module Conversion: Into the Darkness

SJ 2e Module Conversion:  Into the Darkness

This "3e demo adventure" can be found at:
http://wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20020121x1#adv

There are two conversions presented.  In the first, Holg is assumed to
be in charge of a dragonfly full of orcs that is a scout or raider for
the scro (or an ex-scout or raider that has gone independent).  In the
second, Holg is a human cleric of the planar church of Hell and a
smuggler, though he may also be involved in piracy, slaving, or act as
a messenger for a larger organization.  In both conversions he is
assumed to use the same ship:  Holger's Lair, a standard dragonfly
propelled by a furnace helm.  The furnace uses a small supply of
potions for power.  These potions are stored in a chest in the
captain's cabin and include:  2 potions of delusion (healing and
diminution), a philter of love, and a potion of sweet water.  For
deckplans, see the Beyond the Moons website's page of to-scale
