This is a PnP module conversion of the same name by original author Dave J. Browne. It is the sequel to U1: The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. The little fishing town of Saltmarsh is threatened! Why are lizard men gathering force nearby and why have they been buying large quantities of weapons? A party of bold adventurers must answer these questions or the people of Saltmarsh will never live in peace!
***SPOILERS*** Again, SUCH excellent work, although Scoobs and I felt a bit out of place without the spooky factor (see my post for your U1 conversion). I love how at the very end of this module, I leveled up to level 4... perfect timing. This is a brilliant conversion of what I gather to be a dungeoncrawl PnP classic. I am giving this 10 because I am sure that it is a picture perfect conversion of the PnP. And, I am pleased to report, no bugs. I hope people like yourself will turn your skills to NWN2, although from the looks of it only teams of people can prosper in that engine, and given the dearth of material, I have reloaded NWN1 to sample all the Greyhawk thrills of a prospering tradition of ADD (v1) tabletop thrills. Hooray! Thank you!

Great mod! It seems I'm alone on this one but I actually enjoyed this mod more than U1! Don't get me wrong, as the first in this series was very good as well, I just found that the second in the series just ran smoother. Sure, it did have a lot of the 'same old' room to room feel that the first mod didn't, but my job ISN'T to rate the original PnP module and its author, but to rate the NWN version of the PnP mod done here. No scripting errors, great item descriptions, some challenging fights. Thanks for a great follow up mod. **Spoilers** I loved the alliance bit at the end. The scripting you did here worked very well! I'm glad you added the creatures from the real PnP mod. You make great conversions. Looking forward to the final part. Thanks for your hard work!

Another good module from oraweb. A good follow-up to the original U1--The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. As good as the first two in this series were, I didn't like the third.

This mod is well done and a good bridge between U1 and U3. I liked the way you implemented the egg hatcheries and your lighting was great as always. ***Spoiler*** I had a hard time locating the Chief, as others have mentioned. I had to go into the toolset before I realized there was a whole area I missed. Some additional map pins would have helped make navigating the caves less confusing.

This was a blast! U1 was better, but this series is the best PnP conversion out there. Great work, oraweb.

Just like your adaptation of The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, this module is nicely done. This module by nature isn't as fun as U1, but you did a great job adapting from the PnP version. Looking forward to U3.

Great job! Not as good as your U1 or U3, but it bridges the gap nicely. _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27. Mountain of Mirrors -- a classic PnP conversion for levels 4-7.

Hi, my brother and I are having a great time with these modules, but we noticed that the emote wands from U1 don't work in U2. I loaded it up in the editor and it looks like you forgot to import the DMFI scripts for the wands? No big deal but we were getting used to the follow PC functions :). Otherwise great stuff, we can't wait to play U3. Is there a v2 or v3 version of the module somewhere?

Did not like this one. No thick plot, just running around caves and you form an alliance with those lizardmen who attacked you and then you have to pay gold for those who attacked you first! 3 side quests, The Bait Mate The sick lady and the farmer add some variety and I actually liked those better than the main quest. Don't take my low score personally if you didn't write the module; I understand the author wants to be faithful to the original. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them.
