Did you ever finish this and post it?? I would be interested to see it.

Has anyone done a Pathfinder conversion for this excellent classic adventure? I'm planning to run it this week and I could use some help with my prep. A few monsters I can just use from the Bestiary -- but if you know this adventure, you know almost everything is an original creation.
The Hidden Shrine was used as a Site in the Savage Tide AP as a nostalgia/history nod. A lot of DM's expanded from the small section used into more from the old classic module. You could check under that forum and see if there is anything there you could mine for ideas.
I'm in the middle of converting the whole thing over to Pathfinder for my Savage Tide campaign, with a few small updates and changes (like bumping many of the shrine nasties up to around CR 6-7 -- a single wight, for example, isn't going to do much of anything against a well-equipped and coordinated party of 6th level PCs). I'll post a link to the finished product, along with monster sheets, once I get it done. Not that this'll help the OP from a year ago, but who knows, someone else might be interested.
(For one thing, I shifted Xipe the ogre mage over from a "giant" oni to a "reptilian" oni (though with the same stats, mostly) and changed his name to Cipactli, the crocodile-headed Aztec god of earthquakes and eternal hunger and such. It seemed to fit better with the area being theoretically infested with lizardfolk, after all.)
