Working on my Corsairs of Tallibar ( #judgesguild ) adaptationfor #tridentcon

Working on my Corsairs of Tallibar ( #judgesguild ) adaptation for #tridentcon . The difficulty is paring this 45-page page adventure down to the 4 hour convention slot.  The dungeon alone has over 70 rooms, and they are very descriptive with regard to the decaying contents of the previously inhabited rooms; I think this was influenced by the description of the stronghold in B1 In Search of the Unknown.

Here's the teaser for my #tridentcon OD&D game.

Here's the teaser for my #tridentcon OD&D game. The first paragraph is from the module summary (with slight editing):
"The Corsairs of Tallibar were one of the most feared bands of pirates that ever sailed the Nydar Sea, but years have passed since any captain has quailed at the sight of that dreaded band at his bow. Were they defeated in some unknown battle or swallowed up by the sea?

On a previous adventure you found a map supposedly showing the location of the Corsairs' secret stronghold on an uncharted tropical island. Having braved sea and jungle, you now stand before the long-hidden entrance to their fortress. Is their treasure hoard still hidden within?

Corsairs of Tallibar is a low-level adventure written by Mike Wilson and published by Judges Guild in 1982 in a generic FRPG format, and will be run at TridentCon using the original Dungeons & Dragons rules from 1974, with some additions from the Greyhawk supplement and the original Basic Set."
