Description
You are Aralia's last hope! With a harsh winter bearing down on the small alpine village, its lifeline to the outside world -- the Pass of Shanafria, the Mountain of Mirrors -- is cut off by forces unknown. The village elders have selected you to climb to the high mountain pass, put a stop to whatever malevolent forces are at work, and reopen the vital link to the Land Beyond the Mountains before it is too late.
This module is based on Rose Estes' 1982 Endless Quest Adventure book "EQ2 - Mountain of Mirrors." The Endless Quest books were choose-your-own-adventure type books published by TSR to draw young readers into D&D. Some parts are true to the book, but much has been added. The Readme file is for players looking for a little guidance, or some info on the source material -- it is entirely optional and you should have no trouble playing the mod without it.
UPDATES - There will be no more updates to this mod and, since it has been a long time since I've received any bug reports, I am no longer going to support it. I hereby give my permission should any builder wish to use this mod or any part of it as part of another work. Furthermore, if the mod becomes "broken" through future patches and someone wishes to update it so that it works again, they may also feel free to do so. I only ask that I be given credit as the original author.
If you enjoy this mod, please give my other mod a try: BLACK THORN, a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.
Also, come take a look at my latest CRPG writing project with Planewalker Games -- Link
Excellent design, amusing dialogue, simple and lots of fun to play.
Fighters might need to go in at a lower level than recommended. Be sure to bring your own healing with you and keep your weapons and armour pretty simple without additional properties added to them.
Flawless and so much fun! I Happen to have read this particular book, as well as several other 'Choose your onw Adventure' books... Seeing this mod brought back some great childhood memories. My younger brother and sister loved it when we read them together and 're enacted' them as kids. Thank you for that little trip down memory lane! And thank you so very much for this wonderful mod! I truly enjoyed this! _________________________ Stupidity kills people. Nothing Good comes from ignorance. Knowledge is power that is useless with out the wisdom to use it properly.

This was a very interesting module/story and it kept me interested right through it. It had a lot of very interesting concepts like the door, Nigel, Giant, Fang, how you solve quests, various actions in dialog, the different quests like the ice blossom etc. I didn't find any kind of problems with this mod and I enjoyed it pretty much, much liked I enjoyed your other mod Black Thorn so I'll feel inclined to give this mod a 10.00 vote. :) PS. I've had my eyes from time to time on this mod ever since it was first released and only now did I get to play it. :D Better late than never as they use to say, right? ;) Thanks for making it! _________________________ /Berra - NWN1 modules: Berra's Module Collection (All of Berra's NWN1 works) Interviews: NWN-PODCAST INTERVIEW GOLDEN DRAGON AWARD INTERVIEW.

Wow - I've been away from the game and this site for a long while and I'm surprised to see comments still rolling in. Thanks to everyone who's posted their thoughts since October when I was last logged on - I'm so glad people continue to enjoy the module. All your comments are really a tremendous psychic reward for the work I put into this. Thank again! _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27. Mountain of Mirrors -- a classic PnP conversion for levels 4-7.

Very well done. I was afraid with a Pick-your-path conversion, there would be long-winded descriptions to wade through, but you captured things visually, showing rather than telling. Impressive. You took environments we're all familiar with, and made them distinct with clever object placement and scripting, and just enough story and dialog to keep me engaged all the way through. I'm trying to think of possible improvements, but nothing's coming to mind. Well done!

OOOOH lovely lovely lovely - I took ages saying goodbye to Nigel - in fact I took him to the garden in the village to say goodbye as it seemed important to do it properly! What a lovely game (I wonder, do I love Nigel so much because of his english accent? And as you can tell by the lack of "awesomes" and "kind ofs", I am an english player and I should point out in case you think this is a strange way for a boy to write, I am in fact the girlfriend of boy who has this profile! ) Anyway, new to NWN (ish) and particularly appreciate the simplicity of the sets - no terribly twisting confusing quests all piled up on each other - and really atmospheric too. So wish I could take Nigel with me to another game - or perhaps adopt him and have him with me all the time! Thanks so much for all the time you spent on this and i do hope Marred in one of your earlier e mail repsonses, was a typing error and nothing freudian about your views on marriage! Very very best to you and thanks again. Happy girlfriend of highly experinced player who has hit level 2 million and still thought your mirror game was fantastic! Vicki xxxx

Read the interview about your other mod and decided to give 'em both a try. I did finish Mirror first and must say that it was well done. Nigel... ...gotta be the most goofy cat I've come across! 8) The dialogues he had were quite humorous! Great sense of humor El Dano!! I never did take on the Frost Giant since I found the ledge first and ended the game. Too damn short! BUT well worth the download! _________________________ We are all born ignorant, but one must work to remain ignorant. Benjamin Franklin

TANKS Yanos and Udasu for the votes and the feedback. Udasu - it's especially nice to hear from someone who remembers the book way back when. Really glad if brought you back! And thanks Hugie and Steve -- I honestly never though this one would have the score for the HOF, but it is a pleasant surprise to see the award up there. I see the award led to some DLs as well - always nice to know more people are playing it and still enjoying it. There has never been a bigger bang for the entertainment buck than NWN. _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.
