In an attempt to save the already doomed city of Sosiane, the PCs arrive to a scene of death and destruction. The terrible Lord Valgozar, the Raging Tempest, has returned! The StormSon and his fanatical followers, the evil Brethren of the Twisted Serpent, have ravaged the town and continue to search for what few refugees were able to escape the initial onslaught. However, Valgozar himself and a large number of his troops seem to be marching toward a remote area of the wilderness, war machines and siege engines in tow. What could the StormSon be planning? The PCs must stop him from finding a way to restore his full and awesome power, or else no force in the land will be able to stop him! Note: A DM's Guide has been posted in the README section of this site; it includes quest summaries and an adventure walkthrough for RoA3 that addresses the storyline changes made in V1.18 and later.
Thanks, Cat, for your recent response, which I just saw today. I am in RoA3 now, trying to get into the StormGate in the Gamboge Forest, after I have cleared out all the hostiles. I haven't seen a ship yet, or a lot of the locations and characters mentioned in this forum, so I figure I have farther to go than I thought. I think this is a great module, and I have enjoyed it, but I do not think I will go through it again (I am a great repeater) due to the longuers of carrying heavy equipment back to where I can sell it, making my way through mazes, waiting for stores to open, etc.

Apropos RoA3: Hi, Houndiddy; after touring all areas, too, there are some quests left which I cannot finish because of unobtainable items. (I read the RoA2 Readme from nwvault?s download page, but I cannot find the items as described.) Nevertheless, I think I solved over 90% of this great chapter 2, and now I went beneath the barn to talk to all henchmen about the items I found for them, to receive exp from them, and to get their rings, amus, boots etc. which I will now carry with me into chapter 3 (RoA3). I recommend you to do it like me ... save your char, load chapter 3 (RoA3) with that char and continue having fun. :-) _________________________ There's an empty space inside me now: a wasteland deep beneath the snow, so cold ? nothing'll grow.

Jeff, I posted in ROA2--don't know if you are still checking on these comments. I am stuck and thinking of abandoning the module, which I don't want to do. I can't find the cave with the portal to the end fight,and I have really tried. Someone please go there and help me, or post here. Thanks!

This third part is too far tough !!! My Priest and my friend Rogue have more difficulty than in parts 1 and 2... :(

Completely forgettable module. If you enjoy being shunted from one generic dungeon to the other and clicking through copy-pasted hordes, this one's for you.

I played this co-op with 2 friends, and it was a very frustrating experience for all involved. The previous 2 parts of ROA had their problems but were ultimately enjoyable. However, we just got too frustrated with ROA3. Each of the enemies seemed to have a dozen CCW potions. Enemies would often heal themselves more often than they fought! If you did manage to kill them quickly, you could pick up their CCW potions, which then gave the PCs too many potions. It just wasn't very fun :\ It should be noted that we played with the Tony K AI pack installed. Minor quibbles.. no Divining Pool. And I didn't like how players respawn at the location of their death. They should teleport somewhere safe on respawn.

While the story Was solid, much of the module itself seemed to have been copy-pasted from chapter 2. The mini-dungeons were repetitive and generic. As well, the same anti-spellcaster rest system did little to inspire me to complete the module.

Hi and help, I have searched the entire second level of Sanctum Terra and there is no D'rrgrethm'aytar. Am I looking in the wrong place? The Golem on level one said that I would have to fight him. I have found a door that says portal of the lightning pedestal, but I cannot open that. John

For the life of me, I can't seem to find the second rune piece in the Land of Fire. I've been all over (the 3 caves and the Crypt) with my thief and am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Amazing. You start out in the mayor's area and this time go under the trap door into a cavern and out into a different world outside Sosaine. I thought I would be fighting in the city itself, but this author just keeps at his creativity. :) A rescue in the forest and a battle on the ship are encounters that are unique from other modules and the author ends it like the perfect ending of a chapter. All that's missing is RoA 4. ;) _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve
