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.
The core files are a complete package archive. Extract the .rar file directly to your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/ directory.

!=! 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.

Well, Installed the 1.1.1 Hotfix and still receive the following message when choosing Tears of Illmarid, Saga of The Blood War campaign. Almost instantly after clicking the select button. Could not load the module. Module file might be corrupt OR it was created using a newer version of the toolset and/or game resources. This message pops up in a NWN2 window and it is before character creation or choosing. I'm running MotB and SoZ version 1.023 (1765) (Final) August 17 2009-17:29:45. Weird, wild, wacky stuff this is ... sure would love to play this one. :) _________________________ Help is good when asked for, Better when needed. Gaming Parents Studios

Very good sequel. Only trouble was with the shadowwyrm - that thing regenerate too fast, but I see that I was not the only one with that problem.

@Ancaruin: That's what I figured. I thought I had fixed Gregory's bug before, but when I looked earlier it was still possible to be bypassed. Kriev's conversation fails if he's not in the party. You should be able to do this before talking to him: In the console (~ key) type debugmode 1 runscript ga_roster_add(BW_Gregory) runscript toi_henchxptopc(BW_Gregory) debugmode 0 _________________________ |>>> The Tears of Ilmarid Campaign >>>| |> Chapter 1 - Blood of the Fallen |> Chapter 2 - The Blood War |> Chapter 3 - Shadow And Light - Draft Revision 2

Just realized that for Chapter 2, the folder names are off - the archive has Campaign instead of Campaigns, so it is putting the files in the wrong place. I'm in the process of uploading a hotfix, one for just the one .mod file I have modified and the Campaigns folder, as well as a full package update. _________________________ |>>> The Tears of Ilmarid Campaign >>>| |> Chapter 1 - Blood of the Fallen |> Chapter 2 - The Blood War |> Chapter 3 - Shadow And Light - Draft Revision 2

@Ancaruin: Who all is in your party when you talk to Kriev? @buckwheezer: What class or classes do you have on your character? So I can have an idea what the group balance is. _________________________ |>>> 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'm have a similar problem to what Gemini63 was having with the conversation dropping off with Kriev after the first sentence. Any solutions? I tried the earlier scripts you suggested but they didn't work. Thanks in advance. _________________________ "Some have to dance, some have to kill" - My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult

Definitely too hard for me. I can't get passed him.

@krimag, sirchet: The only other time I have seen that issue, it was rejecting based on the character being used for whatever reason. Does it work with a fresh character? @ArthurP: There may be a console command you can run, I'll try and look into this and see what I can find. @buckwheezer: There's really not a specific trick to beating him, but I can tell you moving him doesn't make a difference. It's been a tricky fight for me to balance, as you can tell if you check through the comments. Seems like half found it too hard and the other half found it too easy. _________________________ |>>> The Tears of Ilmarid Campaign >>>| |> Chapter 1 - Blood of the Fallen |> Chapter 2 - The Blood War |> Chapter 3 - Shadow And Light - Draft Revision 2
