Snakepipe Hollow for HQ

I wonder if anybody is working on making a HQ conversion of this (in)famous Glorantha supplement?

I've also been wondering about the dynamic of the scenario. I think it would fit well into the heroic dynamic of HQ.

The caves of chaos are inhabited by some 30+ chaotics. Sure some of them are really tough, but it would still be short work for a clan's warband of 100+ people.

As I see it (looking at it now) the people living in the caves are the equalent of clan chiefs or even tribal kings and their retinues.

So a warband (or and army) marching against the Caves of Chaos, would meet hundreads of scorpionmen and broos, and scores of ogres. The armies that the leaders living in the caves could mobilize, in addition to the other dangers of the Hollow.

So a small heroic group, like the scenario's suggest, would be able to sneak in and confront the leaders, but the army of Alda-Chur (for instance) would have to fight it's way through hordes of chaotics.

I won't say anything more spesific, because I'm sure many readers here are not familiar with this classic. I don't want to spoil it...
