Classes
Since Crimson Nights is heavily combat oriented, Fighters and Barbarians do good. It is definitely possible with spellcaster classes too, since summons have been slightly improved to even out things. Could proove slightly more difficult in some places for spellcasters, though. Bards and Rogues are NOT recommended.

Description
Crimson Nights is the first chapter in an epic adventure where the hero, a promising young adventurer, gets thrown into an epic quest to save the world from a new enemy previously considered completely harmless. An ancient evil awakens - and it's out for vengeance. It is up to you to save humanity and vanquish the greatest foe you will ever face...
"About a week ago a letter was sent to your house in Feinas, your home town, by an anonymous person. It said that there is a man in the small village of Monsu who is very ill. A horrible, unknown cancer resides within his heart, and the one who sent the letter asked for your help to cure the man. You cannot, however, understand why this person wants YOUR help, you are but a simple adventurer. But since you are always looking for a great heroic quest, why should you decline this offer? It is a great deed saving an ill man from the cold clutches of death. Thus, you answer the call for help, and a week later you arrive in the small, quiet village of Monsu..."

that was the first thing I tried. It is locked! It locks when I enter the temple from the beginning... that's not supposed to happen?

Ah but you see the door back out isn't locked. Just go back the way you came in and that will do it for you. Only the doors leading further down into the temple are locked at this point. _________________________ Crimson Nights Chapter 1: Link

Help? (spoiler) I'm in the temple and I just tossed the explosives down the hot air vent, and I get knocked down/burnt and the dialogue tells me to get out of there, but all the doors are locked! And I've waited in the temple for about 5 minutes, thinking it'd go up in flames and kill me, but no explosion... how do I get out?!

The update is now uploaded, so check the changelog in the ReadMe for notes on this (changelog contains potential spoilers FYI). I'd also like to take the opportunity to announce that after a year of NWN stagnancy I'm back into building and work has resumed on Crimson Nights: Evil Unleashed. I'm striving to have it released before the summer holidays are over. _________________________ Crimson Nights Chapter 1: Link

Sorry about the delay. I looked it up and nope, the witch's factions are intact - which leads me to believe you've been on a neutral npc killing spree, although I'm pretty certain she has her very own faction, which leads me to believe either some horrifying untrackable error has occured or... well... I'm not sure. Anyway, I realize the whole area swap was probably a bad design choice so I might just re-do that and release an update first thing tomorrow. That should forever eliminate any chance of the windmill becoming a permanent inescapable area. I've never heard of the witch turning hostile for no reason though, and since she's marked as a "plot" creature, that should only be possible by a faction change elsewhere. I'm not sure about this, but I will edit the windmill. Sorry for the inconveniences. _________________________ Crimson Nights Chapter 1: Link

I'm also in a tight spot with the witch! As i arrive on the first floor of the windmill, the witch is already hostile towards me, and the "mass heals" don't do any damage to her...So i'm pretty much stuck, because the door is locked... HELP ME! ;)
Posted by Ko at 2008-02-1406:10:03
Hmm just to clarify: did you actually attack her when she was "neutral" to you? You are supposed to talk to her *before* you do anything hasty like attack. That will take you to the "real" battle. Hope that helps. _________________________ Crimson Nights Chapter 1: Link

I had a problem with the witch too. The first time she actually talked to me, but I didn't know I could use the mass heal, so I started over with a stronger character. This second time however, the witch just started to attack me. I tried the mass heal, didn't work. I actually attacked the witch earlier in the haunted house, so I don't know if that messed things up. So at this point, I can't finish it, but it was fun playing it. Any suggestions?

sorry about the delay, but I haven't heard anyone say this before. The witch is kind of easy? =/ Anyway, if you see no other solution, use one of your "Essence of Life" bottles on the undead horde and the mass heal will destroy them. You should have one of those items. Hope that helps, if not, let me know. _________________________ Crimson Nights Chapter 1: Link
