The Blood War is the second module in the 'Tears of Ilmarid' campaign. It is designed to be a continuation of the first chapter, which would have left you with a character around level 12-13.
The story so far...
The rumors of a surviving heir to the throne of Ilmarid were true, and she showed up on your very doorstep. After braving pirates and an ancient, living, dungeon cursed by the actions of men nearly two thousand years dead, you arrived in Ilmarid. Rumors had been spreading here as well, and many supporters of the Princess' return have already begun to rally together. They were not the only ones who learned of the rumored return, however, as you discovered when the Archmage Kriev himself attempted to assassinate the Princess before the rebellion could even begin. Even now you are caught in the mental battle with Kriev; losing means death, for the princess, and for you.

!=! IMPORTANT !=!
The Hak Pak files for this module are linked separate due to the increased size with the release of Chapter 2. There is an all-in-one package as well as individual parts that can be downloaded.
Overwrite the old files with the new ones included in the Chapter 2 package. Nothing from Chapter 1 has been modified in the files, but most of the hak paks have additional content required to play Chapter 2.
Addendum: If you are using a version of Chapter 1 older than 2.0 and plan to use the Chapter 1 Bypass, it is recommended that you download and install the version 2.0 files to prevent compatibility problems.
To use the Bypass, install the module file in your Neverwinter Nights 2\Modules directory. Then, in game, start a new module and load the Chapter 1 Bypass with the character you wish to use. For additional information on what the Bypass allows you to do, please read the included Instructions.txt file.

Nope. Empty override. It crashes before character creation or selection.

I have yet to be able to duplicate that issue, but you are not the first. There's a thread on it (started by Sirchet? I believe) over on the official forums, and one of the most recent posts indicated that local vault characters that may have been created using custom content from another module/hak pak can cause that error when the module/campaign starts. More specifically, when it tries to load local characters for your selection and they are referencing content that does not exist in the current hak paks or campaign folder. Aside from that, the only other thing I can tell you to do is make sure your override folder is clean. _________________________ |>>> The Tears of Ilmarid Campaign >>>| |> Chapter 1 - Blood of the Fallen |> Chapter 2 - The Blood War |> Chapter 3 - Shadow And Light - Draft Revision 2

I get a "this module was created using a different version of the toolset, or it is corrupted" message. I have 1.23 and MoTB.

I know this vote will go up once the final chapter is done. So far I'm finding this very exciting n the way you leave it at the end makes one want to keep playing in other words lol whens the last chapter comin out lmao. I love it, I did have a few probs but I think one was on my end where the game crashed but I was able to go bk to my save n reload it n played perfectly there n the other was with Gregory. When I ran into him there was no dialogue with him when you first enter the area but after fightin the bad guys you go n talk to him n he's suppose to join your group but nada. So I decided to reload the game later n it all worked right. Besides that there was no other bugs I found. N I my override folder was empty. Can't wait for the final chapter. Good Luck n Thank you for such a wonderful series so far. _________________________ "Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time. The Prophecies will be fulfilled. The Dragon is Reborn."

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, I tried the "add Gregory" commands and it did not work. I had found an earlier save game where Gregory showed up. I ran through the module and the last scene performed flawlessly. Maybe on the next revision you could make it where he is added automatically. I really liked the campaign. Nice attention to detail and a good philosophical bent. _________________________ "Some have to dance, some have to kill" - My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult

By the way I did upload to the latest version but I'm still having the issue.

Hey! I really love this mod, the story is very enjoyable and I love the enemies and characters you've created. However, I am having an issue that's causing the game to crash. After I destroyed the 3rd tome, and told Ishmael I was ready to go, the game crashes during the loading of the next portion of the module. It does START to load, and it even says "area loaded succesfully," but after that the game crashes. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Also I really love Ishmael's armor and I was wondering if you could tell me what the giveitem code for it is as I'd love to use it on my PRC.

It's easy to skip that step with Annias since it appears the next time you return to the Inn. Depending on when you talk to him about that, you may not come back. I meant to add a little note in the conversation to that effect. _________________________ |>>> The Tears of Ilmarid Campaign >>>| |> Chapter 1 - Blood of the Fallen |> Chapter 2 - The Blood War |> Chapter 3 - Shadow And Light - Draft Revision 2

Like Chapter 1, I really enjoyed Chapter 2 (writing, production value, immersion). My only feedback is that the Annias never gave me the item that would protect the fighter that Kriev controlled in Chapter 1. Also, I was very surprised that the two quests to secure treaty sign off were very brief fetching exercises. I really expected some twist or other effort to convince the parties to sign. Overall, well done!

Round two. heh heh Tried opening every module and each area in the toolset and saving, so it would have the same version as mine. TOOLSET version is 1.0.1765.0, still no joy, same message. I tried downloading with a different browser in case firefox was messing with the files,(would be the first one) then doing a clean TOI install and adding 1.1.1 hot fix. Same message.
