For 5th level assassins (approx. 45,000xp, 10 hit die total), and it's mostly linear.

I enjoyed this mod. The area layout and atmosphere remind me of your "weird" mods. I also like the concept behind it, where the context of your actions is variable.
I'd like a mod like this to require you to search for your targets or otherwise have a larger city to explore ... normally. The abstract, dreamlike quality works well here. What I'd more like to see is an increase in the number of contexts, or perhaps have different targets or circumstances shuffled into the game in some iterations.
As for issues, the first which comes to mind involves dialogues with inanimate objects (the crates in the warehouse come to mind) de-stealthing you. The second is that, if I remember correctly, guards were somehow able to detect me when I was invisible. (I had a ring of invisibility or something like that.)
Overall, great mod!

Thank you. It's supposed to be short and linear. Finding the targets would simply make it longer and less linear. Still, that could be fun so I might add that in later.

Cool mod. A bit too easy in my opinion... would have been interesting to have to actually *find* the targets for example, rather than just have it so linear.

You provided a wrong link in the Required Hakpak section, the CTP one. ;)
The module... a bit too rushed? Could have used some more details, but the atmosphere was fitting. I don't concur with Steve when he says it's too hard, either the areas or the assassin class give you all you need to complete the adventure, and that's a great thing. Most of the time you DON'T have to fight - sure, it's a slower approach, but I guess that's how assassins work.
*Suggestions w/ Spoilers*
The fight with the mage was rather boring - perhaps don't give him Impr. Invisibility? His spells chiefly cannot reach you with Ghostly Visage on, but with concealment over 50% of your apr are misses, and that together with stoneskin makes it a long fight.
The final fight was quite challenging - if I weren't a Ranger and able to summon a Panther catching the bastard between sneak attack and death attack damage, I wouldn't have made it. _________________________ Modules created

George, this was a very fun short module. I used PGCC to level my PC up to the required level, and equipped her with standard level appropriate equipment. Got caught out a few times, but that'll teach me to rush eh? ;) It reminded me a little bit of the Thief Games, only not as hard!
You've already described this module as linear, so I don't see why anyone should complain about that. My PC had a purpose and agenda to follow.
You building talents are once again beautiful, and your messing with peoples minds was, as ever present. Smashing hour and 15 minutes playtime (maybe you should reduce the gameplay description slightly mate?
Why aren't I giving you a 10? because I like to mess with your mind *grins* _________________________ QSW -NWVault Reviewers Forum

Just finished, it took a couple of tries. Very engaging, if very short. Everything requires strategy and thought, which is extremely gratifying. The feeling is successfully that there is a meta-plot lurking in the background somewhere, to which (even at the end) you are only barely privy. I got attached enough to my F3/R2/A5 by the end to want to run him around a little more, perhaps this series will continue (he asked hopefully)?
Other comments: difficulty could vary widely depending on equipment. Levelling up a new character is different than even a stock character creator 10th level Assassin with level-appropriate gold/equipment. However, everything is probably accomplishable even with a (basically) equipmentless 5th level Assassin and some patience.
Well done, sir, as usual.

Now this should be interesting! Nice one george, I'm going to enjoy giving this a whirl. _________________________ QSW -NWVault Reviewers Forum
Did a search on Lisa's clothes, bought up a long list, but none with the exact title you mention. Perhaps a link to all the files we need would assist.
