What if? Bezarngay Boil was the Skyfall Lake

[Goldennose]

There is a dungeon crawl adventure coming to JC, Bezarngay Boil: Hero Wars in the East Isles vol 5. I thought to share one idea from there already, even if the book is not available yet.

What if I want to use the adventure much closer to the Dragon Pass setting?

The adventure is of course designed to be in the East Isles setting, but the reality is, most of the Adventurer groups don't sail there. Here are some ideas that can be done easily to make it still playable.

Easiest option is to have such a place exist near the Genertelan shores, but there is also another option. If you want to place Cwat-Bajat next to Snake Pipe Hollow and Dagori Inkarth; it could be in the Skyfall Lake. Maybe the Sendreven Ship fell there ages ago from the Sky River above it. Maybe the island has been hard to find, or just too dangerous to enter, and hidden in the fog caused by the constant rainstorm there. The Nymph would be connected to the Skyfall Marsh, with a connection to river god Cholanti, the river that flows to the lake from the Vale of Flowers.

Eresteenes are made to be worshippers of Primal Chaos, Cacodemon or Mallia. Those can be ogres, harpies, broos and other chaotic horrors of the Genertelan setting. Lamias would be fine as they are.

Andins can easily be changed into Zorak Zoran worshiping Uz from Crabtown, sent there by the Cragspider. They would include Dark Trolls, Trollkins, Great Trolls, and maybe even a Cave Troll. Change Ysabbau to be a Jack O'Bear.

Vele Unnikanan can be a Wolf Pirate Gunda the Guilty, or Vasana, or Leika and her companions, or some complete other of the local heroes, maybe even Argrath.

Make Gunko Aman be a Vivamort cultist from the Lismelder tribe, and Gasab to be a Tarshite from Furthest, a Lunar, or a Praxian adventurer.

Keets are easily made to be Durulz, and Swamp Goblins can be changed into Newtlings or Aldryami Runners of the swamps, or nothing to replace them at all. 

Neil Gibson’s Legion could be used to fill the caves with some badass folk. 

The underground rivers that have not been detailed further in this adventure could even lead to the dungeon of Snake Pipe Hollow. The underground river that has not been described further, the one that leads to the magical boat.

Change Bezarngay to be some other hostile sea or river god, chaotic Gloomshark from the endless depths of the Skyfall Lake, or leave it out completely. Maybe the escape is done by sailing down the waterfall running down to the Snake Pipe Hollow.

It could work after some modification.
