This is the second chapter in the Blaark Chronicles. It is also designed for solo play. Playing through the first chapter (Portage) isn't required, but it will help establish the background and setting. Many of the quests can be completed in different ways, but some choices will cause alignment shifts towards good or (especially) evil. Neutral characters may have difficulty playing through to the end without an alignment change. There are henchmen in this chapter. This current version includes many changes recommended by those who have played the module and has been updated for HOTU; see the readme for details.
Where was the Slaad for the tongue for the mage when you were good and gave her fake black dragon blood? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

Much better. Lots of fun, I really liked it. The henchwoman I used was very close to useless, and in hardcore mode, was downright dangerous to *me*. Sometimes she would level up, sometimes no. The last time, she levelled up and all the equipment I gave her was gone. Fun stuff, you got me addicted.

I liked Blaark as far as chapter 2. There I started to die a lot, just because I accepted the help of a hench(wo)man. 1 - I enter rage, to toe-to-toe with some orcs, 1 hits me with an axe for 8 damage, then Ameniewiel kills me with a fireball. 2 - I shoot a bolt at an orc to draw the groups near me. Instead of firing, Ameniewiel berserks in and dies a few seconds later. Not dead, but I have to return to the temple. 3 - I charge a few orcs, I get fireballed and critted by an orc. Frustrated, I exitted the game. I know the AI of the game is more to blame than Fintallo, but it would be very nice if fireballs, Scintillating Spheres, Ice Storms and CloudKills could be removed from hench(wo)men's spell lists, otherwise such things happen. Cheers.

Finished 1,nearly completed 2. So far thoroughly enjoyable, HOWEVER. I amy have misinterpreted your comments as I have taken down a CE character (specifically to become a blackguard). This of course seems to be a problem for 3 and 4, as you specify Good or neutral. My character could never become CN by the end of 2 so I either import a pre-gen good 7th lvl charcter or continue with CE. As my other 7th lvl charcters, have far more magic and gold than they would have picked up playing 1 and 2. The balance will be all wrong. I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR IN 1 ETC THAT A GOOD CHARACTER IS COMPULSORY. THE IDEA OF HAVING TO CRAFT WEAPONS ETC FROM 1 IS GOOD BUT BY THE TIME i HAD FOUND REQUIRED MATERIALS I COULD BUY THEM FROM FENTON'S. ALSO MOST CHARCTERS IN NWN WILL NOT HAVE THE SKILL POINTS AVAILABLE TO CRAFT ETC. ONCE AGAIN THOUGH SO FAR SO VERY GOOD.
