Description
This story begins where MTS1- The Mines of Twin Summit left off. The players were cast into hell for their knowledge of the Sun God's plots. They must evade the armies of an ambitious Viscount on their way to safety. Along the way, they will be reunited with some past aquaintences and face some old foes. They will also have to make a choice between two warring celestial brothers, Lord Shin and Sanguinius, to gain the assistance needed to escape from hell and begin the final confrontation with the Sun God.
A fantastic series. Voting today for all three modules after playing them over and over for years now.

Never mind my previous question -- Fluffy had the key. I'm on to MTS3 now!

Oh, and if anyone can help -- I'm standing at the gate to Fire Lake in Avernus, and I don't have a key. I have scads of other keys, but not this one. Where is it?? (I sided w/ Shin, but not until AFTER I had already killed his brother.)

There aren't a lot of good campaigns out there for mid-level characters, so the MTS series is a rare gem. It's more hack-and-slash than I generally prefer for solo adventuring, but I bet it really shines in multiplayer. I only had one BIG gripe: The items are ridiculous! I haven't seen stats like these since the final levels of the Pyramid of the Ancients. Seriously, items that max out stats (eg. +12 strength) should only appear when you're Level 40 and kill some kind of god. And you certainly shouldn't be finding items that are +12/+12!! Minor Gripes: (1) The economy seems a little wrecked, but that's probably because of the value-capping that was necessary in the face of all those uber-items. Tone the items WAY down, and raise those sell-back caps. (2) Spelling! It seems such a minor thing, but it really breaks the mood. (3) Journal Entries: I had to take a couple weeks off to finish some work projects, and I completely lost track of what I was doing. Sadly, there was next to nothing in the Journal to help. (4) Seems like there should be some dialogue progressions for a lot of the NPCs. I was disappointed that most of them didn't even acknowledge my completion of major quests. Overall, though, a fun module! Played it with a straight Sorceress w/ a splash of Ranger. I initially intended her to become an Arcane Archer, but decided she'd be better served with a higher spell DC... and yeah, she rocks!

A good solid module with multiple respawn points. Uses a lot of CEP creatures. No real reason it is necessary before MTS 3. Should have just skipped ahead to that part. _________________________ The road to Ravenloft is paved with good intentions.

I found the fights boring and repetitive. And there were a lot of spelling errors.

We played this trilogy ages ago as an alternate continuation of our original campaign characters though, unfortunately, we neglected to vote. We remedy that now. We have searched far and wide for excellent multiplayer mods and this is, by far, the best epic quest on the vault. _________________________ "In life, one and one don't make two.

A good, straightforward hack-n-slash with an interesting setting.

Very fun to play, deffinatly a hack and slash. I liked the items you get off the bosses you killed.
