When a great storm strikes during your voyage home through the Trackless Sea, west of the bustling coast cities of Luskan and Neverwinter, you find yourself shipwrecked on a mysterious island that appears, at first glance, to be bereft of any intelligent forms of life. With no sign of your ship, your crew, or any of your equipment, and with no readily available way to return to the mainland, you have no choice other than to explore and hope for the best. You quickly realize, however, that the Island is, in fact, not deserted, and that it hides a terrible secret...
---------
READ THIS INFO:
The Island is a module designed for (and the story makes sense for) one character between level 26 and 28, who is returning home from an adventure via ship--it is set in the Forgotten Realms, though that doesn't really affect the module too much (it just provides a name for the sea you were sailing through). It features a little bit of epic combat and some nice custom music tracks. I'd like to stress that this is a short adventure; it should take around between 1-3 hours to complete if you explore thoroughly.
I paid a lot of attention to atmosphere when building this module--I tried to make visually-interesting areas accompanied with, as I previously mentioned, new music tracks; this makes for a very (I think) immersive exploration experience through jungles, ravines, cliffs, caves and a few other locales I will not mention at this time. ;)
Spellcasters, be warned that there are many "No Rest" areas in this module. I have tested with a druid and a sorcerer, and they both did fine anyways. Just be aware of this obstacle you will encounter.
Also, there is an item-strip that occurs at the start of the module for story reasons. Combat is balanced assuming you respect the item strip--if you cheat to give yourself items afterwards, via the toolset or the console, that may very well skew the balance--cheat at your own risk (duh). Your items, by the way, will all be returned to you at a specific point in the module as a part of the story, so 1) don't cry too much ;) and 2) don't neglect to bring in equipment suitable for an epic-level character; you will need it.
Now, let there be no more delay; The Island awaits you...
(Music and Hakpack credits are in the Readme)
Cheers and thanks,
Hugie

Just finished the Island. Pretty cool and short adventure. Loved the forest. It felt like I was really lost in some strange jungle out in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the wonderful modules you've put out. They were all wonderful. Now I'm off to try AoD.

Great ideas, Fardoche, and glad you liked it! If I ever recreate this for NWN2, I'll take those to heart! :) _________________________ Alex "Hugie" Hugon Writer - Ossian Studios NWN2: Mysteries of Westgate - NWN2's first Adventure Pack Moonshadows - An Action-Packed, Story-Driven Adventure in the Forgotten Realms [Development Blog] The Third Sign - A Novel-to-NWN2-Module conversion of Gregory A.

This was fun. Short and sweet. One of the best ambiance/area design I've ever seen in NWN. But I felt there wasn't enough things to do in the first 3-4 areas. Could my character get hungry? Maybe he could fish. Could he meet more weird people ? Or maybe he could catch a disease from some tainted plants. How about adopting a baby jaguar?

Steve, I played an earlier version (pre-revamp), so it's not fair for me to vote now. I never got a chance to play the revision. And given that it's in the Hall now, it doesn't need no more stinkin' votes! :) -B _________________________ My NWN Blog FRW Character Creator
