Description
Version: HotU + SoU (patch 1.66) Description: King Tharg has noted your exploits in establishing the colony at Mithri, and has been impressed by your resourcefulness (from part I). As a result he has sent his herald Silverhand with a simple task; he needs his Court Wizard to help deal with the upcoming invasion of the Black Hand. The problem? The Court Wizard is at a monastery in the Wilderness, in the lands that the Black Hand is marching out of. The village of Mithri has not turned out to be the home you hoped for. Your actions have made life there uncomfortable. Even your friends - those that survive - have recommended you move on. It seems the king at least appreciates your worth, and fulfilling his errand is as useful a way as any to seek pastures new. It is not long before you will be treading unfamiliar depths in a race against time, thwarted by magic, feuds from the past and betrayal... Rules: Limited Rest (optional), Death options included, xp for kill and for skill/alignment/class/ability/deity use. Shoutable commands for better henchman control. Tasters: Multiple henchmen that interact with you and each other and act at times independantly. Plenty of custom content, illusions, rock falls, ropes... Comments:Feedback, especially from multiplayer, will be very well received - comments, improvements, etc, and is always responded to. Part III is now in development, but ideas are welcomed. CEP version ready.

Discon - the time limit is not there to 'fake replayability' as you put it, it's a plotline (though you can ignore it as it tells you in your notes). If you don't believe me, open up the mod in the toolset - maybe then you'll get the idea of the scale (and why it can take anything from 5 hours (though that's a record) to over 30). You have to remember I don't just write modules to get the PC from A to B - there are many others to do that, and frankly a lot better than me at it. My mods concentrate on letting you make a decision and living with it. Make a different one next time and you should get a pretty different experience. At least that's the plan. Of course if you don't enjoy your first playthrough so much, then you probably won't try again, but as I said, there are other people better than me at A to B modules. I aim for something a bit different. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

I usually take more time to complete modules than most, but this one I ended it in 5 hours or so. The second part is no match for the first, which I enjoyed a lot. The time restriction seems like a cheap way to fake replayability of an uninteresting module.

OK - thanks. I'll track this down. One of the permutations on him must be wrong. It's a bit of a task to catch as there are several regarding whether he is captured, rescued, killed, etc. but from what you've given me I should be able to hunt it down. Tell me if the journal updates correctly when another Mablung related action comes (Spoiler below) SPOILER Either he will leave you or you take him home. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

Patched - main change is a fix to re-fix Erlik, who had stopped fighting after 1.66, and some changes to the henchman packages at levelling to make for better matches. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

Go round another way, or SPOILER Kill the dragon. You can get some help for this. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

Arcus - you post didn't show up except in the votes area - yes W3 is in development but a long way from finished. No BoTN2 until NWN2. _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

1.66 CEP version is in testing at the moment. I found a major bug, hence the delay, but should be up within 14 days... _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

I suppose 1.66(6?) stroke you too as much as CEP in the heads ? _________________________ The hottest new modules you can't miss - player suggested Contributor to Overlooked Module Reports An interview with me about NWN mods
