The adventure includes an original monster called the Tyrranabyss (pictured). Rather than try to convert it to Shadowdark stats I took the purple worm and watered it down (literally!) into this amphibious creature. Less HP, less size, no burrowing, but all the other nastiness. (3/10) - ThreadSky

Despite correctly deciding they shouldn't mess with the fetid bathing pool with rotting body parts floating in it, the wizard just had to poke his staff in. Tentatively, of course. Just checking. (4/10)

Several rounds later the 7th level priest lay dying, so was the 5th level Pit Fighter who somehow managed to fail like five CON checks in a row. And the 4th level Sea Wolf? Being digested alive deep in the worm's belly. (5/10)

"But Mark, how could they have survived that?"

"I'll tell you. It was all thanks to the 3rd level wizard and 2nd level priest. Yes, really." (6/10)

The wizard kept up focus round after round on his acid arrow spell, while cleverly using doors and corners to keep the worm just out of reach. The priest ran back to the supply room down the hall and grabbed the barrel of industrial strength degreaser I had cheekily described being in there. (7/10)

Pouring the degreaser on the worm did no damage, but I ruled it played havoc with the mucus membrane that allowed it to stay out of the water, so it turned tale and fled for its pool. With the sea wolf still inside. (8/10)

Barricaded in a room they finally healed the Priest and Pit Fighter and began mourning their lost friend, when the door busted open. It was Hjalmar the Sea Wolf.

"But Mark, how?!?"

Shh, let me finish. (9/10)
