The Chronicles of Azaelus 1: The tower in the marsh (v1.2)
You are travelling with your mentor to the hamlet of Westfeld, to visit an old friend. Along the way, an unexpected event forces you to act on your own; your mentor cannot protect you anymore...
=====================================
This is the first chapter in a series I'm planning. It started out as a little project to get me familiar with the toolset, but along the way I got inspired to take it a bit further.
You will be given the option to equip yourself and adjust your level to the difficulty of the module at the start of the game.
The mod is designed for good characters, although at certain points your alignment (good/evil) is taken into account. There are also situations where you can be rude or mean, but I felt adding a genuinely evil path to be too ambitious for this mod.
After the initial release of the mod I have spent some time at balancing some of the encounters. They are a bit easier now, but might still be considered tough for some classes. Be sure to save often in different slots, and play to your strengths. For example if your character can sneak attack, position him or her so sneak attacks are possible.
I tested this mod with all classes (including rogue) and managed to complete it every time (but of course, I did write the mod).
Recommendations: Make sure you talk to everyone, and read your journal if you're stuck. Use your skills, feats and abilities, use the equipment you find or give it to somebody who can use it for you. There are some conversation skill checks in this mod, so if you've got plenty of skill points...
Have fun!
