Requires NWN2 with Mask of the Betrayer expansion.
Lord Thom of Treetown has sent out a call for adventurers. A wandering bard traveling through my village spoke of great rewards for people who were willing to go on a dangerous journey into the unknown under his orders.
While Treetown is a coastal town, the journey to the dock is only navigable by ships with special maps, so I set sail to a village some way south of there. From there I set out on a trade road that leads to Treetown while passing through Renald's town.
Features:
* Single player adventure module with some non-linear gameplay.
* Set on the east of the Dragon Coast in the Forgotten Realms but locations are mostly created by me for this module.
* More than 4 hours long.
* 7 Companions, three of which can be in party at time.
* Custom resting system. Screen will fade to black, and if resting in a dangerous area there will be a risk of attack.
* Functional world map.
* Possible to complete main quest without combat or with a lot of, sometimes challenging, combat.
Uses custom content by:
Hellcow, Jester, Sorceress Ashura, Aleanne, MisterBritish, Barrel of Monkeys and RunnerDuck.
If any of their stuff looks bad in this module then it's more likely to be my fault than theirs.
Thanks to Adam Miller for sharing his install script and to everyone on the Bioware forums who helped with testing and feedback.

I really loved this module... I never did figure out how to enter the lair, but had a great time getting into the Wizard's tower. (would likely never have figured that one out on my own if I had not remembered the mimic from HOTU) It seems I missed a "crow cave" entirely.. oh well, I'm sure I'll enjoy re-playing this mod. It was all the little details that made it perfect. The companions with personality mis-match who abandon you. The great use of toolset to create environments. The random encounters, travel encounters, unsafe rest areas, all the little details that suffuse the mod everywhere, and still remained fun to play. This may well not be the best mod available on the vault now, but it sure must be the most underrated.

Nice module, with inhteresting selection of henchmen and "random encounters". Main problem was the ridlle (I've solved it, but i don't have a clue how). Also, the end is unclear. I'm not sure if the chice I made good one.

Hullo? Still beggin' here. I have since moved on to other modules, but would like to one day come back and finish this one.

dj_doc, was the puzzle just difficult or badly designed? I don't mind you voting me down if you don't like difficult puzzles messing with your game but if it's broken I would like to know how to fix it.

This was a nice mod, thanks for your time creating it. Would have rated it 6 without that riddle I also have to agree with all the other posts that argued about area design and FR feel. The first could be better and the second just doesn#t work for me.

Thought "eldritch energies" might have been a clue at the diamond door. Seems not. Would someone be willing to email me the answer? Pretty please?

DaveFritz I've e-mailed you, not sure how much help I've been, though ...

@Rosie: I still don't get the Lair. Please email me and tell me how you did it Cheers, Dave
