Description
This adventure is a sequel to the module Midwinter Festival, and a character exported from the conclusion of that module should be used for this game. Alternatively, a new 10th level character can be used. Troubled times are plaguing the desert city of Yylarium. An unnaturally harsh winter and prolonged drought concern a populace fearful of thirst, starvation, and the possibility of war. With political tensions running high, the PC must take sides in a fierce internal struggle to determine who will be the next ruler of the desert Emirates. The PC becomes reacquainted with Kama, a Knight Panther who is first encountered in Midwinter Festival. For this module, it is intended that Kama is treated as a traveling companion, and not merely as a henchman/henchwoman. She will have valuable contributions to make to this adventure once she is asked to join you, and she provides much of the motivation for the module Midsummer Knights' Dream.
A 10, just for one of my favorites around. I was really surprised and amazed by such a quality, imagination, writing and the very " the author is a player himself " feeling you get as soon as you run into a few ideas he had to make your journey easier and funnier, very surprised by the quality of the very first module already, as It's most of the time the training one, the scratchy feeble one before the masterpiece. The story is one of those who interest me the most from the few I went through within the NWN world. The writing is strong, smart, with many dialog options and everyone of them followed 'till the different endings. Any time something happens, you feel like you've never seen it before. I mean, almost... And if you ever come to a dream as you're playing this module, be careful as it might simply... happen. Marc Price, the author, not only wrote a very intensive storyline here, but, as if it wasn't enough, he really took care of providing one of the most difficult combats I ever faced. Nothing like tons of easy ones jumping on you from nowhere at the same time, but just one or maybe two, but... strong, the kind you can see from a distance... but doesn't run away. And even keeps talking about this and that as you're approaching, you and your weapons. You know, the confident kind. Well, they ended up dying at some point anyway, as being a hero I'm supposed to make this world better. But so did I, a couple of times. One thing I'll remember here was entering that village and thinking that could be a real one. Those people were so true, walking, chatting, arguing, shouting.... Almost breezing. And if you ever happen to talk to some beautiful witch, beautiful but seated, you'll realize when you're done speaking that you have to get up. As Marc made you seat to talk to her... Simple, human, elegant. Necessary. Essential. This is where I see the difference. Another trigger from 5000, just for something which is not plot-important. So you think you could just skip that one. Some do. Some don't. Huge difference. A difference between laziness and talent. Or passion. Or desire. Enjoy. As much as the goblins... As much as I loved Part 1 & 2, I didn't feel as much about the 3rd one and I hope I will be forgiven for saying this. My cleric ( perfect class in my opinion. ) was probably so exhausted after all she went through, she couldn't see the beauty of anything anymore. I had the best time. Thanks Marc. _________________________ @ + jml, level 52 "Overgod? Is that like Supergod or something?", from "Citadel" "M?not shr this ishych u g?dea.", from "Prophet" series

Hi there is both a waterskin to be found, and one available from the merchants - check Raynor the Ranger if memory serves. Good luck! -Marc

Here's one I couldn't find, maybe someone can answer this. I don't know how but I did not bring a waterskin into the module, nor can I find one anywhere, and so I cannot enter the desert. Is there a waterskin availble to buy or find anywhere, or do I need to restart with one already on the character? None of the merchants in Ylarium had one. _________________________ NWN, Elder Scrolls, KOTOR, Arcanum, Indiana Jones

Seems like a bug there: ***Spoiler*** I saved a game at the Panthers' fortress. When loading it, the first thing that happens is a quest update about me recovering the Flight Crystal from the Midnight Fortress. I have been to the Midnight Fortress, but I sure don't remember finding the crystal there, and I got no quest update there even if I did.

Seems like a bug there: ***spoiler*** I saved a game at the Panther's secret fortress, and now when I load it the first thing that happens is that I get a quest update about recovering the Flight Crystal from the Midnight Fortress, and it actually appears in my inventory. I've been to the Midnight Fortress, but I'm sure I did not recover any crystal from there (I only got as far as the big locked door).

Another great module. Love the plot and thought that it was really creative. A few typos here and there, but it doesn't detract from the story itself. It really pulls you in. A must play. Now I'm looking forward to part 3!

Elhanan, Riona, jb4479, and Astrea, Thank you so much for your comments. It warms me when I see you've enjoyed the series to this extent. I've tried to create a memorable set of adventures with interesting plots and unique characters. I am happy to be able to share it! Best regards, -Marc
