Although part 1 was designed with a Rogue in mind, I encourage you to continue the series with as unique a class combination that interests you. You'll find it less and less Rogue-specific as you go (although there are still locks and traps aplently).

Description
Strange times have come to Camshire. The shadows have grown eyes that study, fingers that caress, teeth that hurt. A venomous infection has begun to rack the city�s aching walls, bringing a haunted fever of paranoia to the skittish masses within. The sky grows darker with each passing hour, threatening to make permanent secrets of the lies and ills cast upon the haunted souls who call this place home. Perhaps a light will flicker and grow in the belly of the gloom, shedding light on the miseries and effect their withering. Perhaps hope lies in a heart tainted with truth.
Perhaps... Perhaps...
Hour of the Tongue is the second installment of the Threat of Dreams series of modules created for use with BioWare�s computer game Neverwinter Nights. It requires the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark expansion sets, which are available for purchase independently or in the Neverwinter Nights Platinum edition. Visit nwn.bioware.com for more information on these products. The module also requires that your Neverwinter Nights be updated to the 1.65 patch.
The module was built using BioWare�s Aurora toolset, and also includes custom content created by the game�s community of builders. A full list of this custom content appears in the Credits section below.
Part one of the Threat of Dreams series, The Hunger and the Sickness, can be downloaded from the Neverwinter Vault at:
A walkthrough for the module is included in the ZIP file.
Please take the time to cast your vote and comment on the module after you�ve completed it. I will continue to support Hour of the Tongue as long as I can, and your comments can help make it as good a module as possible.
Readme file (not required, but recommended). Hasn't changed significantly since the v1.0 module release, but there are now TXT and DOC versions included.
Walkthrough file (not required, and recommended only if you get stuck or have already played the game and want to see what you might have missed). Hasn't changed significantly since the v1.0 module release. Only available in DOC format.
Some spoilers ahead. Wow, these two mods seem to be very overlooked, and yet they are among the best I've played around here! The atmosphere is just wonderful, weird and creepy. I'm not sure which part I like more. Personally, I'm a fan of large mods as long as they don't become to 'unfocused' and I think part 2 did a pretty good job of this. But the moment where you gain access to the cellar in the mansion in part 1 and see what the owner of the house is eating was just, wow... Fantastic and very creepy! There were lots of small moments in part 2 I really liked as well. The 'thieves' creeped me the hell out for some reason, especially when encountering the Thief of Beauty in the museum. I also liked when you watch the moon through the telescope, and you get a message saying something about "it looks it normally does, but something feels very wrong". Not word for word there at all, but ingame it really gave a nice sense of dread. Little things like that can mean so much sometimes! Very much enjoyed these mods, and if you port them to NWN2 and make a 3rd episode, then I'll have to get the game for myself (instead of playing my friends copy :p)!

Loved it and can't wait for the next one, the only problem I had was that Greymalkin wouldn't reward me for the scepter theft.

Truly one of the hidden gems in the vault. Original, mature, spooky and... just very entertaining. Good documentation too. Thanks a lot Chris!

I think the two modules fit together very well. I really enjoyed the "cosmic" stuff and didn't feel a big shift in tone between 1 and 2. The creepy supernatural/paranatural is there in 1 and flowers in 2. The madhouse quests get the PC out of town without actually doing so at a time in the module where a little change of scene is really nice. I know my experience was different from some folks becausse I did play them back to back. Part one is my favorite module as a first level rogue. You get to level three by the end of the module in such an organic way, instead of being schooled. The increased cosmic stuff just seems to be part of the PC's increased knowledge of Camshire. This is a long post to say I really like the way you do the spooky stuff. Please don't loose that. I'm really glad that you're still interested in this story. Thank you. _________________________ Madeleine

My goal is to make part 3 in NWN2, and possibly eventually combine all 3 parts into one big NWN2 module. If I do this "redux" version of all 3, I'll probably make some major tweaks to part 2 to bring it more in-line with part 1, and disperse some of the more "cosmically" flavored stuff to make it a bit more palatable. Thanks for the continued interest!

Will you do part 3 in NWN2? Please do do part 3, whichever version of the game it's for. I just finished 1 and 2 for the second time. I really want to know what happens. _________________________ Madeleine

Here's a cut-and-paste of a workaround I posted a while back for this issue. Hopefully it's still relevant--it's been quite a while since I've worked on the mod and I'm not sure whether I changed the scripting any since then. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll see what I can do. Good luck! *** Hit the ~ key. This will bring up the command line. Enter the following text (without quotes): "DebugMode 1" Hit Enter (you should see the word "Success" appear). Hit the ~ key again and enter the following text (without quotes): "SetVarString current_rune_north underbelly_rune7" Hit Enter. This will put you into target mode. Click on your character. Hit the ~ key again and enter the following text (without quotes): "SetVarString current_rune_east underbelly_rune4" This will put you into target mode. Click on your character. Hit the ~ key again and enter the following text (without quotes): "SetVarString current_rune_south underbelly_rune8" This will put you into target mode. Click on your character. You should now be able to pull the lever to open the door. Once you succeed, enter the following text (without quotes): "DebugMode 0" You should now be able to continue.

Ok, I am stuck at the rune puzzle. I am fairly sure I have the configuration correct (yes I've used the telescope), but I keep getting the "Nothing happens" when I pull the lever. I tried going into DebugMode to check the variables current_rune_north etc, but the message window is being spammed with Action Overflow errors. Maybe something to do with 1.67? Can anyone help? I was enjoying this mod.

Calli: SPOILER If I recall correctly, you need to answer the riddle using the chat feature. To do this, press "return," type "M," and then press "return" again. That should get you going.

At the Demon's Roost I am given a white scrolling text asking "What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in an hour?" However, I am not given any way to enter the answer. No other screen appears. I have no way of entering "M". Help?
