An Epic level solo module. You are approached by a woman whose husband died at sea months ago. She asks you to confront Death himself to return her beloved back to her.
Tried this a year ago with a pure fighter and got smashed a couple of times early on (may be it was just bad luck). this time I took my Monk/Fighter/WM in and although he is only level 19 overall I had no problem finishing the module. This is the best module of Chris Huntoon IMHO. * Minor Spoilers * I did reload twice but I could have avoided that easily (some traps might be deadly and fighting a boss with half HP only may not be a good idea). I was expecting the twist at the end and indeed it was right there. Survived the ordeal and walked away free. If only I could get some alignment shift on the way the module would be perfect.

I liked it a lot. Lots of hack with some good story elements. The ending was'nt so much as a 'supprise', but almost, welcolmed. Thanks a lot for the 'ride'.

Just great this mod, the ending was fantastic, especially if... SPOILERS! --- You choose to live, the conversation with Death and that woman was really great. _________________________ "I just love your pointy ears" Said the orc. "Really? I do like your large fangs" Replied the elf.

Hmm, really wish that this site allowed editing of work, I seem to have responded to page 3 rather than page 1. Nothing to see here.

Me, I don't care all that much about easy or hard combats, as long as they do the job to tell the story. I find most mods and games that talk about the difficulty of combat to be tedious, though I do understand that's not a popular opinion. Playing an epic wizard, most of the fights here were ended with Bigby's Crushing Hands followed by damage, so I can see how the fights might be considered too easy, but I was throroughly entertained by the game nevertheless.

Everything worked, the story was excellent. I don't think it's a very replayable module, but it had a tight story and was properly atmospheric. Some lines appeared to come from some of my favorite comics, and probably other sources I missed, but that's all to the good.

This is a really great mod. Real roleplaying choices, unexpected plot twists, good but balanced loot, good environment design, good battles - you hit all the marks. Great job. ***SPOILER*** Found a glitch in the Ring of Wishes. You can continue to click on the "genie" which restarts the dialogue and he'll grant you another wish, as many times as you click on him. If you ESC from the dialogue, he hangs around and you can come back and get more wishes!

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a very high-quality, short module with a superb ending. _________________________ [My (Important) Submissions] [My Website: Link]
