The Devil in the Stone is a module that is set in the actual historical settings of the Medieval Europe, and not in the D& D universe. Because of the Medieval Europe setting the module is destined for one player game only, the player having the choice of one of the three premade characters. One can choose from the following: a knight - Jaxa, a bard - Korff, or a student - Hlava. We advise to advance your characters only in the professions of the barbarian, the warrior, or the rouge. The story is set, though, in actual historical settings, therefore the religious and ethnic minorities inhabiting medieval Europe, which the main character encounters during gameplay, are portrayed according to the stereotype of those times. Each of them spoke in their own dialect, which the authors have emphasized in order to show the uniqueness of each of the groups. The authors did not intend to offend anybody's religious or ethnic feelings, though if they might, they wish to apologize in advance.
Cool game sor far. You may want to set the module year to 1450 so the journal entries jibe with the story

Well done. Enjoyed it a lot. Refreshing change of setting. Makes me remember the classic RPG game "Darklands". The same dark & moody atmosfere. ******critic --- spoilers****** There is some minor quality checkup pending, as you have town houses without doors, book shelves and book piles with Forgotten Realms treasure (at templars labyrinth.) Plot: Where is the town´s mayor (burgomeister) or the mayor´s scribe murder scene?. Dialog: is ok, but could be better just flagging variables when you already talked, started or finished a subquest for a NPC. The ending: is way to fast and abrupt, could you make the hero return and talk to the inquisitor and free the scholar, before the ending movie? Resolving the main quest and saving the imprisioned friend from the abusive inquisitor is the purpose of the adventure. ***************** Keep on rocking... Medieval Tales was fun!

Excellent job conveying the real medieval world. The translation was lacking in some places, but only one important place (one object in the final scene), and the game was enjoyable despite that. One critical problem: bad/no ending (?) Play it anyway! SPOILERS FOLLOW I discover the stonemason's diary. Inquisitor doesn't react. So I go to the cathedral and kill the cultists. Inquisitor doesn't react. So I start trying to destroy the cathdral, as prompted by the journal. Either (1) I get in a fight with the devil, and on the killing blow the game ends (!?), or (2) I ignore the devil, destroy the altar and all the statues. Hmm, Inquisitor still doesn't react. Nothing else I can destroy at the cathedral, and nothing I do forwards either releasing Archibald or the "Devil of Roncesvalles" note, which are the only other things left in the journal.

I have enjoyed the mod so far. However, *Spoiler?* I am at the templar ruins, and cannot push the button on the pole, nor open the trapdoor. I click on either of the items, and my character walks over to it, but nothing happens. I am running HotU. Everything else has worked out fine. Joshua

Hey one problem when I start to try to play it the Bioware credits come up so I skip them and the game is gone. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

I loved the story. It was somewhat challenging not to use any magic, but I really liked the way you created the story. My only complaint is that the translation from Polish to English was not complete.

Well, I just want to say that this module is inspired by one of the Sapkowski's (the best polish fantasy author) novels - "Narrenturm part 1" and made by a firm not a one/several players :) I've played polish version and I really liked it. I hope you will also anjoy this mod :)) ps. for those who know: Samson Miodek vel Honey ;) rulez!!
