Original setting developed by me. Beasts of the Night was made in a way that makes the overarching world pretty faceless. The idea was that this module could be used for any kind of setting without it feeling out of place.

Description
Version 1.23 --- Beasts of the Night is an open-ended module for Neverwinter Nights. It requires that you have both Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark installed, as it draws heavily upon features from both those expansions. --- You and your elf friend Celuril are travelling through the winter landscape after having found a potentially powerful gem of origins unknown. You make camp near the secluded village of Haven, rarely visited by strangers. Then wolves start howling. - Unravel the mystery of Haven through multiple open-ended paths and defeat an ancient evil. Roleplay your character through versatile conversation options.
So is this mod going to be updated any more? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

I have just replayed this with an evil fighter 2/mage 4 and I found it as good as before if not better than before. The module really does work well with a variety of classes and alignement which is not a very common thing. Thumbs up for TiLT.

*SPOILER* If you've been to the buried temple below the caves and confronted Mathance there, you will meet him again in his crypt afterwards. He won't be in his crypt until you've defeated him there.

Not a bad little module, with some good writing. The puzzles are a little mystifying, but luckily my PC was not exactly a mastermind so I didn't have any problem roleplaying.;) The clock was stuck at 1am the whole mod., which was a little bit of a strange decision. Finally, I couldn't find the final vampire. Made it all the way down to the bottom of the crypt but he wasn't there. Strange.

Nice module, good story, game play and over all atmosphere. Some more cutscenes would have been nice especially at the end?

Wow, I've never heard of that glitch before. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll take a look at the scripts one of these days and see if I can fix it, although I can't imagine what would cause it.

Really liked the module and the brooding atmosphere. I played it as a Rog1/FTR1/Wiz4 with Weapon Finesse. A few points: 1) This module is really unbalanced for anyone but a strong Fighter (or a Strong Cleric)..I had flame weapon which really got me through it, cannot imagine beating it otherwise. 2) The puzzles, especially the color pool, was too tough. I ended up using the hints and removing the XP from my char. 3) I had an odd glitch in the final battle with Manthance. When I defeat him at the rune stones and return to the crypt to confront him, there were 3 Manthances at the spawn point!. Only one of them came up to talk to me, but when he went hostile, all three did. This I assume is a bug, so I took the first one behind the entrance and defeated him, turned invisible and staked him, while the other two were fighting the bats and familiars they had summoned! (Serious faction issues here). If anybody else has seen this, please do let me know if the original design called for 3 Manthances, or if this is a glitch. Thanks..

This is an exellent module too. I played it with my elven ranger/wizard/AA and i had a great time. Right now i started playing it again with my halfling Ranger/Rogue. One complaint, though; the vampires are really hard to kill.

A minor update has been posted. The module is now at version 1.23. The following issues have been fixed in this version *mild spoiler warning*: - A typo in Marla Addams' dialogue. It referred to Celuril as "Celeril". - Some minor tweaks to the Minogon dialogue. - Celuril's sword no longer changes halfway through the module. - Removed the shovel from the graveyard. It was left there by accident during testing.
