The author of these modules has some interesting ideas but his ambitions aren't matched by his skills unfortunately. This module has numerious bugs in dialogues, quests and scripts, poor balance and several horrible and unsensinble design decisions. The only reason I am still bothering with this series is because the chapters are quite short.

meh, this one isn't as good as the first. -dialogue is still pretty bad; i understand there is a language issue, but still... -there is at least one serious bug i noticed, even after all this time: when fighting the gnomes at the outpost, the drow wizard will turn all the other drow hostile to him if he uses an area effect spell that catches any allies in it. since he has the immortal tag, they essentially will fight him endlessly at that point. surprising since there are so many ways to stop this from happening that the author failed to take advantage of any of them. the slickest way is by using spellhooks, but there are even easier ways. the level design is decent, and the enemy design is ok, if a bit sparser than in the 1st chapter.

Hi, great mod so far. I'm having a bit of a problem, though... After freeing the drider and going through the hidden wall door in the Inquisitor's office, there is no sign of Llomir. The door leading out is locked as well, so I had to reload the game. Any solution to this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time.

I think there were some sequencing/conversation logic issues, because things just didn't make sense then everyone would walk off and wouldn't talk again.

Playing a monk from chapter 1. This time it was quick and easy. * Spoiler Warning * The ambush was a cake walk. Decided to sneak around in the mine and avoid all possible combats. Soon enough I reached level 6 and was able to use Knockdown and IKD versus the gnomes who are one if not two size smaller. Assuming the feat was fixed with the current version I still get a +4 if not play +8 to beat their discipline check therefore a hit is almost always a gnome on the ground. Had no trouble with the levers this time. Even took out the Rust Monster for fun and to secure a resting area. In the outpost, sneaked around, disabled all traps and opened all doors using the right sequence this time. Kicked a few gnomes but again avoided most combats. Again, the battle was a cake walk. Inside the outpost and all the way to the end of the module had no problem except some scripts (when you reach the 2nd floor STOP or walk slowly and let her come to you or you will not get the next quest) and some speed issues even with my fast new machine (many creatures on the last level so the CPU will have a hard time). Made the deal with the drider and later took the ring. Did the room where you get the key alone. Did not need any help. Found the secret room but hey, I don't make wands. The last battle was easy too. I did not really need any help. About these battles, perhaps I got lucky because the game (CPU) could not move all creatures at a time and was only moving a few of them. I did a few odd things like taking the key before clearing the room or opening the door (to chapter 3) before clearing the room. Yet, there was not gnome alive in the outpost. Enjoyed it a lot!

An improvement on the first, which makes this an amazing mod.
