Hi, ** SPOILERS ** Yes, Kataja is right - and anybody should be able to find the trapdoor if they are near it. The Dark Corridor - I've answered this many times before, and I'll gladly do it again: Near the stairs there are two small rooms with levers. If you step into one of these rooms and do NOTHING for 7-10 seconds, you will be teleported. You will go back to the spot just before the corridor or down to level 4, depending on which of the rooms you are in. Note that there are many undetectable teleport traps near these rooms - it's mostly a matter of trial and error. The traps will not teleport you far away, though. If you pull one of the levers, it will behave like one of these traps.

This module was rather epic in terms of how long I spent with it, but unfortunately not all of the time was all that useful (romping around to and fro, bogglingly running around large areas with scattered puzzle pieces or waiting for the night to pass). What it did have was plenty of idea, a sensible story, generally a nice amount of challenge and rather much to do. Looks like the author has really spent time on building us a fun 25-35 hours of playing. Thanks!

***** SPOILING commentary *********** CaptainSpacePony: There's a hidden trapdoor in the smaller part of the hall divided into two, around where the drow sentries were. That's at least where I got to, I came here to get the dark corridor spoilers; I wonder if there was ever a hint to what to do in there... It's the second time already, I also needed to come here and look for a spoiler back below the old dwarven mines to get out of there; the area was so large that the red herrings and romping around getting poisoned got frustrating - tried figuring out the gem rocks in the hopes that if I got them all, something'd happen, etc. (I'd seen the seller earlier but the item to buy looked like an empty bottle so I didn't check its name.) The well room I've now accidentally gotten hints about, but I didn't manage to figure out that either by myself. Maybe it's because no matter what I put in the chest, it vanished - along with a little item with a note I ran into by socializing with kids; after that it sort of made sense to think that the note's instructions were either a booby trap for unsuspecting "Oo treasure" bullies or a way for them to smuggle things to who knows where - just put the "hot" things in the chest and voila, that howling band of angry villagers that even follows you into unknown caves won't find anything suspicious on you. When the second module is done, it'd be nice if you had the time to write up a walkthrough for this one and include it in the module package, Windhawk. :) (The forum isn't as easy to search as a text file where the hints are ordered according to time of needing. And judging by the amount of spoiler questions in relation to other comments it seems that I'm not the only low-int adventurer out here. ;))

HELP - Old Mines! Hi Guys, I like the module but am stuck getting out of the old mines. I've managed to move all three levers and been told a 'door opens somewhere' but I can't find it.... If it matters, i didn't talk to Shanu before going down to the dwarven city. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Simon

Loving it so far, and am anxious for the sequel. Problem is, I'm stuck. I seemed to have cleared out the 2nd level of sunken temple but can't find anywhere to go, including the dry well. Any help would be appreciated. Again, super module, and I've avoided no fights--just reloaded alot and fought as smart as possible.

Underrated, I think, this one's quite good.
