The journey continues at the site of the Battle of Bones. In your last adventure, you found a young man who appears more than he seems. Wizards struggle over his control, and you have come to the underground city of Stonemeet for answers.
I just finished SL4 today. Again, this is a very good module. The non-linearity is similar to SL1. There are many chances to role-play your character with various quests for different alignments. I felt more relax skipping wrong-alignment quests here than in SL1...maybe because travelled this far, my character is powerful enough. In SL1, you are just starting out...so you feel you need every ounce of EXP you can get :). Battles in this module were for me very balanced. I played Cleric lvl 6 (level up to 7 in the module) with Nooble paladin-to-be as henchman. There were some pretty tough fights that *almost* killed us (the crypt comes to mind) but we managed to get by. Maybe because I have both HotU and henchmen AI pack by Tony K, which let me manage henchman inventory so I can give Nooble better armor/shield, so I have no henchman problem. I have some comments though. The town stonemeet is somewhat sparsely populated compared to the first city in SL1...not sure if this is the intended effect or not. The area of the city is big, but not so many people/zombie/goblin/whatever there. Another comment is about lawful/chaotic alignment shift. telling people your real name make you more lawful? I think it's just normal thing normal people do. Now if you just make up some crazy name...that can be wayyyyy chaotic. my point is...to remain neutral, you have to do some rather ridiculous stuffs...like tell people your real name and then steal from them (to drop lawful points). I understand that alignment shift is somewhat difficult to do and sometimes is quite subjective though. I am happy to say that I encounter no bug whatsoever with v.1.08.

BTW...where's nooble romance? i got his oath to become a paladin...am i on the right track? between my cleric and him, it's more like mentoring than real romance. no flirt no sweet talk no heart warming moment at all!

Great ideas for alternative living on display. Kinda feel a bit sad that I had to bring it to an end. Mines play a bit slow, and some items hard to find, but all in all, a great time.

What shall I tell you? After wandering through this wonderful part 4 of Shadowlords (enjoying some delicious glasses of Franconian wine, by the way, sometimes bottles of beer, too) I must accentuate that everything in these stories worked fine (no scripting errors etc.pp). And now I reach out for part 5 with my Mac (G4mdd1250, OSX.2.8, NwN 1.62). My ICQ/AIM is: pixelgeist. Greetings from Franconia/Bavaria/Germany ... _________________________ There's an empty space inside me now: a wasteland deep beneath the snow, so cold ? nothing'll grow.

No bother, i found it. I compleated the final part as well. I liked the love story... The only flaw i found in the game is the lack of chests. There are numerus rooms with nothing inside. Apart from that it was a very good adventure.

Chapter 4 of Adam's first series. Stonemeet is one of the weirdest, most enjoyable cities you'll ever visit.

icowden, that didn't happen when I played through, so I'm not sure what to suggest. Although I didn't actually encounter *any* vampires in the South Caves at all, just vampire spawn, which don't have a gaseous form, iirc.
