Description
A temple was built in a previous age; a secret place of worship to Tharizdun, He of Eternal Darkness.
'WG4 - The Forgotten Temple Of Tharizdun' for NWN v.1.69
Based on TSR's 1982 Module by Gary Gygax
Designed by:

Rosie the Pup
Starting Level: 1
Number of Players: 1-4
The Temple was built in a previous age, a secret place of worship to Tharizdun, He of Eternal Darkness. It drew the most wicked persons to it, and the cult flourished for generations, sending out its minions from time to time to enact some horrible deed upon the lands around.
However, a great battle eventually took place between Tharizdun and those opposed to his evil. Unable to destroy him, they were strong enough to overcome his power and imprison him somewhere, by means none have ever been able to discover.
Thus Tharizdun disappeared from the face of the earth, and from all of the other known planes, and has not been seen again since. After a time his servants returned again to the Temple, deserted as it was of any manifestation of their deity.
Amongst these wicked folk were many powerful magic-users and clerics. All sought with utmost endeavor to discern what had happened to Tharizdun, so that he could be freed and returned to rule over them once again.
This module is a combined wilderness and dungeon adventure scenario in the Greyhawk setting.
-----
This is a non-hardcore mod (recall portal, resting w/out penalty, etc.). There are some tough fights, however, so I recommend active saving.
There's not much rp'g, it's a Gygaxian hack & slash fest! I added some henchmen side quests, to make it a bit more interesting, however.
It's important to place map pins, as I intentionally left them out. GG's intention was that you get lost, and a bit frustrated on your way to the temple.
I hope this doesn't stop you, however, and you have fun playing it!
Since Tharizdun is connected with Tsojcanth, I have Bloodmonkey's rocky tileset hak included as well. That way you can play WG4 and S4 with a similar setting feel with the Yatils mts.

It's no hurry on my end as I am just playing about. I am hoping that my gang can MP this before the end of the year. We did once before and it was a lot of fun but we learned that the party can't go in a lot of different directions. Everyone needs to stay together or it chokes up

TimG - I've encountered that too, but not every time. I'll do a play-test pass, and will rebuild that area from another tile set. Hopefully that fixes it. I guess you can avoid it for now. Once you defeat the Temple, there's another way to get to the safe valley. Sorry -U _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

I think there is something wrong in the vicinity of the "safe valley" and little Brucie's parents' house. After completing Brucie's quest I headed up the map towards the "safe valley". The game freezes up and errors to desk top. I am unable to pass into the "safe valley". I don't know how to troubleshoot it per se but I have a "save game" if it helps. I am playing the latest version...

Just playing with this in little bits when I get the chance, it's still a lot of fun the second time around

Added two more areas, inspired by the cool rm tileset. Enjoy! -U _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

I humbly request that the feedback be specific, so I can make the experience better for future players (and maybe get some votes raised ;). Thx- u _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

TimG - Thanks for the vote, good catch, and some good feedback. I've corrected the vampire script, and I'll work on the henchmen too. _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

Made it through at long last. I had a good time but the final sequence was frustrating. I think plugging in a few more clues would be a good move. Even if they were esoteric hints anything would be a help. Also, I think the henchman conversations ought to change up just a bit when they've been hired and fired in order to make room for more henchmen. As it stands right now the conversations are jarring to the immersion. In my case after defeating the vampire in the dungeon my quest didn't update but it didn't seem to have much of an effect. Another odd thing that happened was that the inhabitants of the Gnome valley turned hostile at one point. A respawn solved that issue. All in all very good stuff.
Thanks for taking the time to make it

Okay, thanks. I must have overlooked a pathway someplace because I haven't been able to find any northbound route. I've been re-tracing the southern route looking for a way to progress. I'll head back north right away. The "maze" is certainly an apt term...

The Journal indicates that the "head wolf is still out there" or something to that effect. I've explored some more trying to see where to go or what to do next but still appear to be stuck. What's the next step I should be taking?

TimG - the notes are undroppable (you can't pick them up), but the second chest should fire a journal entry when you open it. _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

additional info:
When I click on the "strange note" it says This item cannot being given away in the text box at the lower left hand corner of the screen. This is applicable for either of the strange notes
Posted by TimG at 2011-08-26 07:00:52 Voted 9.25 on 09/24/11
I clicked on both "old notes" in the two chests but nothing happened. I was trying to pick them up to inventory. One said "go on and take it" and the other was about "food or kin"

I've updated the Norkers (to make them look more like their original desc.'n), and, finally, we have a Grell! (thank community!)! When the Vault maintenance is done, I'll post it! -U _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

Truckeeskibum - It is tlk 2.3, which comes with the CEP2.4 d/l.
You can always verify needed custom content by opening the mod in the toolset, and going to the custom content tab of the modules properties.
TimG - The 1st wolf cave chest should fire a journal entry when you open the chest.
The 2nd wolf cave should have a journal entry script fire too. If not, I'll fix it.
WPM 3e I removed, since SirOts is making one. I just keep updating mine with more CEP2.4 content.

I think if you check your log file it will tell you exactly what file you are missing. Most all the TLK files are on the vault someplace. It's most likely a CEP file. I have TLK up to CEP2.3 and it works for me.
I am stuck in the Wolf valley with the abandoned town. I found the chest with the note about caged victims but can't find anything else to do... I must have overlooked something...
Also, a new mod that isn't on the vault yet? Sounds intriguing
Decided to give this module a try. However, I get an error that reads:
"Missing required custom talk table"
ANy ideas ?

Oops, 'my bad' as they say...
I reloaded my last Save and sure enough my char *was* exported automagically - it was so fast & smooth I hadn't even noticed the first time! :)
OK then, I have successfully loaded my char from Temple into Caverns and have just started playing...
Hey! Hold that wagon, wait for me! :)

Hi Neilium, thanks for the kind words and vote! So your char didn't export? Weird, I have an export script in the final conv. Crash is weird too. Wasn't able to replicate. Caverns is tough, I'd try using your char, assuming your char is at or below 8th level. _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

Hi U! :)
Just played through and enjoyed it! Had to take a few points off for Pet Peeve #17 - no option to Save Char before GameEnd. Other than that, I had no problems except the game crashed on me (tried 5 times) when bringing the heart back to the birdmen (?) folk. I found the Temple anyway and was able to bring the book & gems back to the Hall.
Do you advise using the same character to play on into Caverns, or doesn't it matter? Thanks again! :)
