This is a PnP module conversion of the same name by original author Dave J. Browne. Desolate and abandoned, the evil alchemist's mansion stands alone on the cliff, looking out towards the sea. Mysterious lights and ghostly hauntings have kept away the people of Saltmarsh, despite rumors of a fabulous forgotten treasure. What's the sinister secret? This is version 3, see the reame file for details.
Great mod oraweb! I liked the following aspects: 1. Having to actually use a torch for a change. 2. Your general use of lighting -- blue in the attic, etc. 3. Falling through the floor. 4. Rot grubs and yellow mold -- really took me back to the old PnP modules. 5. The ship. I was impressed with the size of it. The only minor point here was that the area transition screens showed a building instead of a ship. I thought the following could use improvement: 1. I never could figure out what to do with Ned. He would follow me around for a while, then disappear. He was more of a nuisance than anything else. He even triggered a trap my rogue had set for the smugglers. 2. Plot items. You should either flag them as plot items in the toolset so fools like me don't sell them, or put a warning in the readme. Maybe it's laziness, but I've gotten used to selling everything to merchants unless it sells for 0 gp (which tells me it's a plot item and I should keep it). Thanks again for all of the time and effort you obviously put into this mod.

Awesome atmosphere. This is the best conversion of a PnP I have ever played.

Really enjoyed this module. This was one of the first PP modules I can remember playing and I was glad to see someone had taken the time to convert it. Great job!

I really enjoyed this module. It took me back to the PnP game.... Thank you for putting in the effort to make this one.

Great and fascinating atmospheric module, but the secret door idea was seriously flawed. I had to read these pages to find out that there actually is another (3rd) secret door. You should have made clear that this module was primarily suitable for an elven rogue.Keep up the good work re NWN2!

Played this one a while ago when I was unregistered. I thought this was an excellent start to the trilogy - a must play for PnP fans. Won't spoil with specifics, but it had some great surprises and neat touches. _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.

This module felt just like playing PnP. Sigh of nostalgia. Thanks for the work! A welcome break from hack and slash with a nice story.

Excellent... haunted house sounds, different backgrounds from the city to the haunted house levels to the caves to the pirate ship. All in a short sized mod packed to the punch. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

Seems to need a makeover for v. 1.65. Cannot access the boat from dock C no matter how many times I click the blue rectangle area transfer from the dock. Also, how do you solve the lost little girl in the warehouse quest? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve
