OK Last post * spoilers * Here the thing that did work after a long while. Summoned a succubus and that's about it. Went into melee (Flurry of blow) and waited. The succubus slowly drained the life of the Queen. Nothing else did work for me. Last room. Option 1: Try to fight and die (or something like that) Option 2: Run, grab the bag and watch the cutscene

Post continued Right after posting my previous message I went back I tried pretty much every weapon, item and scroll I could use. See the time beween the posts to find how long the combat took. Nothing. It's a stale mate she cannot touch/harm my character but I cannot do a thing to her either. She is changing form every second or so. So trying to switch to the right weapon or cast the right spell at the right time is impossible. she resists all my spells BTW. I have summoned some pets but no luck. I may try to open a Gate and use the cloack of Greater Sanctuary to get away but I am not sure if this would work or not depending on faction settings. Otherwise this is going to be a dead end.

I have left this module asside for quite a long time (months). I was going in circle with no clue of what to do next. This time I loaded the latest saved game and went from where I was to the end in one go. * Spoilers and hint request * Well true up to the final combat. I never had to fight a shifter before and I have no shifter character yet I am starting to smell something fishy. During the combat, I left the computer running for at list two hours but she is not dead yet. Perhaps a clue or two in the module would help. Anyway if you are a monk you will fight her w/o weapon as I did and the henchman does not like weapon either. What we see is her changing shape over and over. We also see her being injured in some forms but not in other forms. I assumed that either the shape shifting or the damage reduction or the heal power would last at some point but no. Also you don't get a fedback like "you cannot damage her with your present weapon" so we keep punching and kicking we do see however damage absorption mesage but it does not seems to last. Can anyone provide a minor hint - no major spoiler please Thanks Note: I am playing with my ninja who is Fighter 1/Monk 6/Assassin 6 (yeah I know how can a ninja be a disciple of master Drogan ;-)

Volkovich, I think you have this module confused with SQ2 - there is only 1 cutscene (at the end) in this module. Still, thanks for writing in, appreciate the feedback.

I read many of the other posts and it sounds like this is still a work in progress so I thought I would add my comments to let the author know what bugs I found. I started this module and was wondering if anyone else found it frustrating that when you move from one area to another and you get a cut scene all of your spells expire plus your weapon is removed from your hands. In addition to that you don't actually go to where you are suppose to.

This game was pretty good. Certain characters just aren't going to be able to kill the final boss, though, & that really hurts my final score. My first try through, my dude fought the final boss for an hour and a half before I shut it off. The boss can cast stoneskin at will, & never runs out of them, so you need to be able to punch through a stoneskin really really quickly. Also, the boss has 15/+3 DR, so you need at least a +3 weapon. As the author points out, there are +3 weapons available, but only a few, so if you use something exotic, be warned, you will need to bring a good weapon with you before you start!

Would have been 9 or 10, but the darkness was so pervasive as to reduce my enjoyment (old eyes, I'm afraid).

I enjoyed the mod very much, it was just the right mix of all catagories (I hate 100% hack and slash) and it had a story!!!! Very well done. And, to my personal pride, when I was interested in wanting to play but couldn't get in, it was determined that a movie was blocking me so the author made a mod named the Lomondra Build (my character's name is Lomondra) that allowed to me play this wonderful game!!! I am very proud and just a BIT overawed that someone would do that just for me. _________________________ Does this armor make my butt look big?

Pyhtagore, Thanks for the pointers - I'm compiling a list for things to work on when I re-release the mod and will take these into consideration. Thanks for trying it out, hope you enjoy the rest of the module.

I actually went back to play SoU again, this, next I'll play HotU again to play your post-HotU mod for the contest. I thought the visuals, the concept, and some of the monsters were good and original. I thought the story was incoherent (sorry, but I felt I stumbled through and I'm not sure what I really did) and the constant saves annoying. It was okay. It seemed liked it needed polishing.
