Only tricky part will be figuring out what scenes to use – probably something related to a specific monster with numerical significance (Cerberus, Hydra, etc.).

Take care with the medieval weapons though! The D&D system is far removed from the naming conventions of real swords. For instance a Longsword is a 2-handed ldae in reality, and a Bastard sword takes no special training to use. Also the fuller (Groove down the blade) has nothing to do with blood! It is to adjust the weight of the blade, which is what makes a sword more effective than a sharp stick.

Best stick to the game system which is sevicable and sounds good enough for non-swordnerds to enjoy. If you do want info on medieval fighting technigues, I can reccomend these sites:
