Description
As a relatively inexperienced adventurer, it comes as a bit of a shock that Calum has sent for you. You cannot resist the call of this old friend, however... he saved your life many years ago, when you were hardly an adolescent. But he has become a Harper now, and seeks your help. Will you become a Harper? What destiny do you choose?
A good little mod to level up character pretty quickly. You have to work hard to reach 8th lvl and the dare I say monty haul of items, very important to equip yourself with for the dangers ahead. Finished as a 1/6/1 elf wiz/ftr/aa

The Harper's Tale was one of the first user-made campaigns I ever played, and is probably still my favorite.

never did find the stag. pretty good otherwise.

where's the stag? i'v searched that cave VERY thoroughly, cleared all hostiles (everyone here seems to be complaining that it respawns, but i'v not had one thing respawn all game), that door someone had trouble opening told me it looked odd in this setting, when i first found it, but opened without a problem. i searched the hell out of the tiny area behind it, but was nthing there except another regular ettercap, a phase spider, and a bit of rubble with a sharp rock in it. went back to the dead girl's father, hoping maybe i'd killed it and mistook it ofr another ettercap, made sure not to sell any ettercap parts til i'd done so, still said "no luck so far". does the stag even exist, or just a rumor the townsfolk came up with to explain away their losses?

Great Mod overall. I think the treasure are just a little too much. The fights are good and i really enjoy the 3rd quest. Good prelude. Gonna play the whole serie for sure. Good work Dave!!!

A really great series of adventures. I really liked the custom toys to play with especially the hot plate.

Found this to be most enjoyable and an excellent way to level my Ranger to level 8 (though I ended up with a Ranger/Fighter (6/2)). On to Chapter 1.

A late vote to a mod alread critically acclaimed in the Hall of Fame. Some mods hold their own over time; and this is certainly one of them. This mod amounts to a glorified "campaign prelude" and is advertised as such. In that respect it does a great job setting the stage with tactical combat, equipment drops, treasure, and items available for sale. It levels the player up to level 8 without overly uber gear and monies. Providing a respectable balance to a mature adventurer. Some of the custom items and crafting choices are very nice such as Ettercap Arrows. In all it is a satisfying way to play your PC up to that level without using a level up mod - all accomplished in 4 hours for the average 1st level PC.
