Description
Foreigners are not permitted in the City of Kerendas during Midwinter Festival, or at least not without special permission. And yet, you receive a mysterious invitation and can only guess at its origins. You decide to investigate, to see first-hand what Midwinter Festival rituals are performed, and to find out who has called you so far from home. This lengthy, story-driven module is intended as a single player game with more than 20 hours of play. This game includes a large, detailed city map, and is intended for new, first level characters. The game also now requires a small hak pack as shown below. See the Readme file for details.
Thanks, edwardocracy. Glad you enjoyed it! Best, -Marc

I quite liked this module. I started with a higher level character so it wasn't that challenging for me. The thing I like most is that the module makes no assumptions about your background and yet manages to tell a nice story. This is important to me because I like carrying the same character around to multiple modules, so it bothers me when modules refer to my brothers/sisters/relatives/etc.

In the new description format, the guidelines and cautionary statements that the author has highlighted in the Readme no longer appear on the main page. Therefore, these extracts are repeated here for your convenience: --- This adventure is designed to be highly challenging. It is strongly recommended that you take some precautions to fight intelligently, and to frequently use items that you may acquire during the game, including potions and other unique items. You should also consider buying more of these items when the opportunity presents itself. Please save often! This is a lengthy game, and accidents occur. You may wish to save and reload from previous saves. Untimely crashes are always possible with this engine as well, so do yourself a favor and don't lose the time you invest in game play. --- In summary, if difficult combat is not your cup of tea, try another module. There are plenty! Checking in and looking forward to Dragon Age origins. Enjoy, all! -Marc

Hi Rozaren, I just sent you an email with a solution. Best would be to find the runes you need, but there's a script you can use to create an extra one if you really need it. Glad you're enjoying it! -Marc

This is so far and by far prob the best module I have played so far only prob my fault but I am stuck... so don't read on if you haven't started yet... I thought I HAD all the elemental runes and I have checked all the places that they are suppose to be but no dice! Is there any way past this? Can someone help ... in 'any' way? Don't want to have to go back to a save it was to long ago ... I know my bad! might email too - this is eating me...;p _________________________ ****** OOK! ******

When you first meet lord Vendrill in the Serpentine tavern is he supposed to teleport away leaving you to fight his lieutenants because he says something to that effect before joining in the already too hard fight is this a bug or are you meant to kill him there. 6thlevel fighter vs Vendrill + lots of minions = too high challenge level.

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
