Vessel of Stars SJ 2e Conversion pt 5

Astromundi Cluster:  The Astromundi Cluster version of the module is
very much as described in the 3e conversion.  DMs should decide whether
or not they will use all the special Astromundi Cluster rules or not as
they have not been accounted for (such as contacting other planes and
human ability adjustments).  In the Astromundi Cluster Varan gain the
languages neogi, Varan, and illithid for free instead of common.  This
adjustment needs to be made for all of Tallan^Òs crew.  Additionally,
due to her unique heritage, Sweet Gurta speaks Thoric for free.  Any of
Tallan^Òs crew that are proficient in reading/writing common are instead
proficient in read/write Varan.
Area 3&4:
Varan, hm (9):  AC 5; MV 9; F1; hp 10, 6, 9, 9, 8, 9, 7, 8, 7; #AT 1;
Dmg by weapon; AL LE; THAC0 20; proficiencies:  Varan, illithid, neogi,
spacemanship, balance, fire control, zero-G combat, morning star, club,
dagger, pike
        Possessions:  morning star, chainmail, 2d6 gp

        Area 5, The Waystation:  Tallon is not altered (statwise) by being
human.  DMs who use psionics are recommended to convert Kata and Raz^Òs
levels of wizard to levels of psionicist to reflect Varan association
with the illithids.  In this case Kata is a former thief, rather than a
former psionicist (she is still 3rd level in thief and 2nd level in
psionicist, however).
        The Caverns:  The only alteration to the doombat from 3e to 2e is that
the chaplain is a C7 of Corellon Larethian.
        Caverns, Area 3:  A single continual light hangs in the air,
illuminating the area.
        Caverns, Area 4:  In this case the ballista bolts are actually
boarding pikes.

        Caverns, Area 6:  Both mages will start with defensive spells followed
by using their attack spells to disrupt enemy spellcasters.  The
captain will use his scroll early and is not afraid to catch his troops
in his own web spells.  He only uses the fireball if absolutely
necessary.  He will give his potion of growth to the marine sergeant if
the battle is going poorly but saves his potion of diminution so he can
escape by drinking it and having his familiar carry him away.  Both
mages save their light spells to allow them to see in the event of
retreat rather than using them in battle (outside area 5 and area 3
there is no light and they may have to flee to the dark side of the
asteroid to hide from PCs).
