Nice short adventure for a level 1 character. Good for players who dont want to spend months to complete a module (two evenings of play should be enough). Not too many side quests and main quest is simple enough. Realistic loot placement (you dont find loot in every single box that lies around) there's a lot of junk around wich should be the case in a goblin lair! Lacks custom music for ambiance. Some areas are large with lots of running around. I expected more in the ending though, it was kind of "flat". Notes on game play: Couldn't get help of my henchman to force stuff open (I played a weak rogue). Final combat bug... If you just chop down the "tree" before engaging in combat, it make the final engagement a lot more easy. And while you do so, every one stands around doing nothing. I guess they should have attacked to defend the tree but... Never found the way to open that darn door after all...

Hello to all. Has anyone discovered how to unlock the magically barred door in Goblinville? The one with the draconic inscription on the floor thats in a room with a fountain. When you decipher the draconic inscription, it says "channel good, open the path" or something like that. I suspect you have to put some sort of component in the fountain but I haven't figured out what. I'm playing a rogue with Tordek as a henchmen. So the only thing I didn't try is casting a spell. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks...

The author has put in some nice touches here. Non-playing characters often responded to me based on whether or not I was equipped with a weapon and what my class was, and there were monsters I haven't seen anywhere else. The plot was good, and even allowed for some moral ambiguity (should I work with kobolds or goblins, or not?) There was a seamless transition to the next module in the series. There were a few problems, though. Some areas were too big, and there was too much walking around to do. A shortcut between the Sunless Citadel and town would have improved this module a lot. Some areas are large even though they only contain one or two battles. This issue is made worse by having all kinds of junk around for the character to sell, which made for a lot of walking to and from town. Substituting gold for this (or at least something less heavy and bulky, like gems) would allow players to spend more time focusing on the positives of this module. I'm not sure why this module is listed as "designed for a 4 character party." I did just fine playing solo starting at level 1, and never using any henchmen. There were a few spelling/grammar errors. (If you're not the author, just skim past these.) 1) README: "loose" should be "lose" 2) Felosial: "your welcome" should be "you're welcome" 3) Pillar with a Rope: "tounge" should be "tongue" 4) to Belak: "prepair" should be "prepare" 5) Top: "spinable" should be "spinnable"

Good Story!There was definetly a surprise when you least expect it,it was kindda hard to get started,but that makes it more challenging.It could use a good update,then I would give it a 10.

Thanks Jeff for putting this conversion on the vault. I just finished it and am looking forward to the Forge part. Cheers.

Good conversion. Good scripting. Intelligent. Lack of typical combat was refreshing. Good ending. Good use of treasure. Atmosphere and sounds create a believable mod. Good all around. My only possible knock would be that it felt like it dragged in the Underdark part a bit, and that you kind-of get used to walking a bit more than you would want. Thumbs up!
