This is a short module slapped together for the Bioware writing contest. The PC is lost in a forest and must find his or her way out by talking to a paladin, an old hag, and a spirit.
No combat, tricks, or puzzles as per contest rules.

Okay, so I have a couple beefs with this one. There's a little too much "Talk to A, talk to B, talk to A again, talk to B again, and so on..." going on here, even for the framework of this contest. There's some narrative that doesn't really need to be there. And the plot doesn't branch at all until the very end, and even then only into two paths. So I can't really give it a PERFECT score, but it deserves a VERY VERY HIGH score on the basis that I enjoyed playing it in a way I rarely manage to nowadays. I don't know what that magic touch exactly is, but kudos for having it.

The whole plot is linear, assuming you talk to the NPC's in a predetermined order (except the first, which you can skip, but then when you have to talk to the Paladin, his dialog doesn't make complete sense). Also, to find multiple endings, you have to pass a skill check, which I personally dislike.

Why you make me running around all the time bro? Wanted to give you lowerrating but was scared people who are with deep admiration with you will not like. Wanting to give 8.5, but give 9.00

Well done and worthy. This one has wonderful NPC expressions, descriptions and player dialogue. Journals were near perfection and simple. Good range of words. This one could fit into any setting as a side quest.

Best module I have played yet.

I didn't enjoy this module at all- too much tedious running back-and-forth and the twist was too obvious. The descriptions were good, but the overall storyline was so-so. Writing is competent, but I believe a truly well-written module would be fun to play and this doesn't quite achieve that.

Intriguing story and characters, pulls sound writing up. Little bothersome running around for info, but I did same thing with my mod. I suppose an added twist or ?un? twist would better the story, but solid all around. (8.25)

After actually playing this, I was slightly disappointed. It?s not bad, but I expected better from you. Perhaps staying too long out of development is the reason. However, I don?t regret the 10 I gave you. The one who made Tales of Artera is capable of great thinks, and you will eventually came with something really good. You have my fool support, and you deserve being among the winners.

The descriptive writing was good, and each character had its unique voice, so kudos to you for that. My problem with this mod was that the twist was predictable, there was too much running involved, and the Paladin was more of an info-dump, so to speak. It also didn't make sense that he couldn't recall vital information until the later part of the game.
