Boyd Conversion notes for Agath Harpell (Agath of Thrunch), Bane (Hextor), djinni (vaati), Kelemvor (Wee Jas), Longsaddle (Magepoint), Malchor Harpell (Manzorian), Mintarn (Alhaster), Myrkul (Vecna), Shattered Scepter of Calim (Rod of Seven Parts), and Tempus (Kord) have already been mentioned in con- version sidebars for earlier adventures in the adventure path. Tomb of Horrors The Tomb of Horrors lies in the depths of the Marsh of Chelimber (Vast Swamp). Jergal’s Plot As noted earlier, the Realms conversion of the Age of Worms has a meta-plot, touched on most strongly in the Realms conversion of “The Spire of Long Shadows.” As this adven- ture begins and the PCs return to Longsad- dle, have Malchor Harpell inform them of two disturbing reports. In the waters off the coast of Waterdeep, a colossal undead crea- ture, infested with green worms, has formed from the dust of Myrkul’s avatar, which for- merly littered the sea floor west of Mount Waterdeep. Downstream of Boareskyr Bridge, a colossal water elemental dripping with green worms, has formed from the eternally poisoned waters downstream of Boareskyr Bridge. Both avatars are leaving wide swaths of death and destruction in their wake. Mal- chor Harpell does not know how these mani- festations tie in to the return of the Worm- god, but the PC who received the secondary visions in “The Spire of Long Shadows” likely has a very good idea. What If They Fail? If the PCs fail to slay Kyuss, the Age of Worms unfolds as outlined in the adventure. How- ever, reports soon surface that followers of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul have begun openly serving the Wormgod. If you continue the campaign, the church of Bane grows in power in strength, while the churches of Bhaal and Myrkul undergo a rapid resurgence. The churches of other gods begin to fade, as their followers abandon them in droves. A�er sev- eral months, the four churches begin to speak of Jergal as the Overgod of Death. The church of Jergal begins to grow rapidly, and Bane, Bhaal, Kyuss, and Myrkul are openly referred to as his Four Horsemen. The Age of Worms consumes the Forgotten Realms.
