"125 gold for the annihilation of wicked goblin briggands!" These words of the Daggerford village crier have brought you to Fair Harvest inn, located along the Delimbiyr Route about 10 miles south of Ardeep Forest.
The reward is being offered by the innkeeper Edward Rollins.
Version: 1.13
======================================
INSTALLATION:
======================================
Download all three parts, place them in one folder, and unzip any one of them with the RAR compression tool of choice. You should get one "Goblin Bandits of the Delimbiyr Route v113.mod" file. Copy the .mod file to the "My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\modules". Start the game and select "New Module" then "Goblin Bandits of the Delimbiyr Route v113".
======================================
NOTES:
======================================
* Intented to be a Wilderness adventure.
* 3 potential companions provided (Fighter, Sorcerer, and Cleric)
* The number of traps make a character with Search/Spot useful (Disable Device is not too helpful since most traps spring on you at level 1).
* The module is designed for a single player or single party multiplayer. The module was created and tested in single player mode. I have tested the module in multiplayer mode but not thoroughly.
* I have added a multiplayer feature that forces all PCs to rest at once and increments the time by 8 hours. This occurs when any player hits the Rest button.
* Level 1 fresh characters with no weapons should get a proper starting package of equipment.
* All conversations are NWN1 style. Two of the conversations are flagged as cutscenes because of actions that accompany them.
* Any area transition that says "(Travel)" takes a least an hour
* Should take a character from Level 1 to at least Level 4. Finishing all quests should get them to level 5.
* Air, Water, Fire, and Earth Genasi, Tieflings, and Drow characters will should have a reaction from NPCs (purely for flavor)
* Game time is running at a half hour to 1 real life hour.
* Any feedback on bugs, errors, and just general odd behavior is appreciated.
======================================

======================================
KNOWN ISSUES (Spoilers)
======================================
* I've gotten reports of torches not working in the caverns. In my case it happened when I exited a cavern with a torch equipped, unequpped the torch, re-entered the cavern, and equipped the torch again. Not sure why this is happening, but I got the torch to start working again by dropping it and picking it back up. If you run into this problem please let me know the exact circumstances, thanks.
* Companion interludes that occur after an unused ending conversation get queued, and result in an unexpected ending conversation later on(happened to me 'cause I speed through the module, but shouldn't normally occur to players).
This is an excellent mod - my sincerest thanks to the author for creating and sharing it! What I liked best was the effort he put in all the small aspects of his module. I do highly recommend this one.

Yes, thank you. That was exactly the problem, backed out to 196.21 drivers and all is good again.
Posted by kcarr at 2010-07-1213:49:58
@biren666 That sounds like the NVidia driver problems reported in the forums. Are you running the latest version from Windows Update or the Nvidia website? If so, you have to roll back to 196.21 to to get NWN2 to work. If that's not it, I'm out of ideas. Good luck. _________________________ Goblin Bandits of the Delimbiyr Route

I am having problems running the mod. I extract it (correctly? mod is 267 Mb) and try to run it. Interiors render OK, but the starting map only shows shadows and lighting, all the tiles, placeables are transparent. I have tried this with a NWN2:MotB (1.20v) and NWN2:SOZ (1.23v) games and got the result both times. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

What I never voted??! Great starting level mod. Fun all the way. Thanks for making and sharing! _________________________ E.C.Patterson Gaming Parents Studios Trinity, the NWN2 adventure : Download now.

Great shortish mod. I enjoyed it. Biggest plus is the consistent setting and polish. Areas, conversations, quests, companions, etc. all felt well-designed. The only real downside is that it's yet another lvl 1 mod ... and too short ;)
