You're a long way from home, seeking fame and fortune as many do in these troubled times. As night falls you find yourself in a strange forest. This is Bramblewood Forest, a wood rumored to hold some evil power. It's said that travelers caught in Bramblewood during the full moon are trapped forever. As you look up at the night sky through the trees you catch a glimpse of the complete disk of the moon...

Pretty good little module.
Started paladin 2, finished paladin 3 (the module could be hard for some classes).
The module is fair and probably worth a 7.5 score. I gave it an extra point due to the poor review by QSW (I guess he played an earlier version that was bugged).

Nice and short; annoying respawns (same spot over and over); should have xp for combat; thanks for making it.
Thanks for the feedback, Eranin. I'll definitely keep your suggestions about placeables in mind for the future. Thanks for playing my module, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
At this point you've finished the module, and don't need the longsword. It was one way you could have destroyed the Helm if you didn't think you could defeat the necromancer in combat. (Also, you would have used it in a conversation, so longsword skill is not needed.)
The old man's behavior does sound a bit odd. He should congratulate you on your victory and the module should end after a short conversation. I would be interested in knowing what conversation options you chose with him previously if you know. However, at this point you have done everything and you won't miss anything by talking to the old man.
Again, thanks for playing my module and voting on it! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions or comments.

Very fun little adventure. Anyone who likes puzzles will love this.

Very nice mod. I have a problem at the end though.
(this is a spoiler I guess)
After I kill the necromancer, the old man appears but when I tell him I've entered the tomb, nothing happens. I found a longsword which, in it's description, says it "wants to destroy the helmet" . I guess I should use it on the altar or something but my character is a rogue and can't use longswords...
When in the Bat Cave, are you carrying an item you can get from the Wandering Merchant that will attract the Queen Bat?
As for the zombie tooth, you need a special item to summon forth the zombies. Some of the other items you've been finding should give clues as to what to do.
Did you kill the troll before talking to him? That may have caused the problem. If you did talk to the troll, let me know what conversation choices you made before the fight.
Feel free to e-mail me (via the address included in the module's readme) if you need more help. Thanks!

Nice module, but I'm having some trouble I thought I should report.
S P O I L E R
In the Bat cave the Bat Queen is not spawning. I think there's something wrong with the encounter trigger. I've played that far with two PCs - same result.
Also can't find a zombie tooth. I think the zombie with the tooth spawns in the graveyard but nothing seems to happen there. I've taken the eye gem and not taken it - still no zombies.
Also had a faction problem after killing the troll so that the trader goes hostile.

Short but sweet! Well put together, bug free and it provided for a fun couple of hours.
For Solarwind: At the moment, there isn't a way to return the emerald. This doesn't effect your ability to complete the module though. This will be rectified in a future release. Thanks for playing my module, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I quite like this module. Short, but good fun. Question, though - how do you put back the emerald in the graveyard after the ghosts start haunting you?

Just finished playing the mod. Not bad, although for the next couple of days old people will not creep me out a bit. :)

Just finished it. Not bad, although old people will now creep me out a little more than usual for the next couple of days. :)
