The Aundairian Job (by Craig Shackleton) — a heist adventure module from Dungeon Magazine #147.^1,2 One of the adventures that were used to playtest Into the Dungeon: Revived.

The Conversion

Note: Only the parts that need to be adjusted are listed.

I would recommend skipping the "Background" and "Adventure Hooks" sections, and filling up the strongbox with a powerful magical artefact or any other item the party craves or hired to retrieve instead.

Gathering Information

The characters can roll a d6 to see which information they acquire. Roll twice, if the characters have an advantage, such as a reliable contact in the town.

* DC 20 follow-up info is available after an additional 4-in-6 roll.

Meeting Rurin

Rurin is willing help the characters for a fee of 10g.

Inside the Compound

• Ignore all checks, replacing with the appropriate ItDR rules instead. For example, instead of "Open Lock" checks, characters with lockpicks and/or skilled in burgling can open the door if given enough time or, in dire circumstances, after a successful DEX Save.
• The warding spell of the main building only prevents any extradimensional travel into or within the building.

Guard Patrols

There are 5 units of 6 guards for a total of 30 guards.

* Unit rotation (every 6 hours): vault → on-call → off-duty → walls → vault.

** If alarmed, arrive in d4 minutes.

Guard (30)

STR 14, 4hp, Armour 1 (light), waraxe (d8, 2h), crossbow (d6), 10 sleep bolts.

Sleep bolts: Failing a STR Save versus Critical Damage from a sleep bolt, puts the target to sleep.

Climbing the wall without proper equipment requires a successful DEX Save. On a failed Save, the character falls down, suffering d6 Damage.

2. The Gatehouse

Raising a portcullis without making noise requires a STR Save with a Disadvantage if working alone, a simple STR Save with assistance from other characters, or with an Advantage with four characters working together. The Save is made by one of the participants. Lowering a portcullis does not require a Save if no impediments are present.
