**MOTB required**
There are no respawns, so save your game.
There are no Haks or anything, just place the mod file in your 'MyDocuments\Neverwinter Nights\Module' folder and run as Module.
All comments are welcome.
Quick description:
You arrive at the small town/village of Elton which is located close to the Moonwatch Hills, along a trade route, between Phlan and Melvount. A few of the houses are charred and burned. They seem to be victims of a recent attack. And so an adventure begins.

Fixed Throne room key bug. The game should no longer crash when you load a saved game with the throne room key in your inventory.

Re worked Arithel conversation. It should work now.
If you leave the ruins and return, you will end up in a corner of Celestia. Talk to the Pixie. He will send you back to the ruins. (Lame fix, I know.)

Fixed control panel / save conversation problem.
Companions will no longer drop loot on death. Companions have a way of leaving suddenly sometimes. Sometimes bad things happen. Be careful what you give them. :)

Worked on the conversation problem with Arithel and the locked door.
06/28/2009
Fixed as many there/their spelling errors as I could find. Also changed 'Plan' to 'Phlan'
Made ruins entry door transitional, so it can be used to return to the surface.
Goblin cave door is now unlocked! And no longer has a coversation attached to it.
Added armor to the weapon merchant, outside the Inn.
Set a door in Thar Underground to Static.
Tinted the ground in Elton a little bit.

Removed TRN files and uploaded the file to the vault. Since Divshare seemed to stop working.
Oh, forgot to mention. If you are the kind of rotten scoundrel who appropriates shay's magic sword and shield for yourself, he rejoins the party with a new set. A good way to dupe those :)

Still rough around the edges, but I'm enjoying the story regardless. Still needs a bit of proofreading, synonym errors and missing apostrophes abound. (You should add they're to your there/their hunt) I'm sorry if that seems a bit anal. More importantly, if you exit and re-enter the kobold ruins, you are transported and stranded to a corner of celestia. The merchants in town don't have enough gold to get the party started. I really wanted to sell the rogue links armor from the mage tower and buy myself a magic weapon of my choice (for me, being the katana), but neither the gnome nor the barmaid were able to aford to buy it. I figured I could just return when I had more loot, but the dungeons are all one way.

Just a silly noob question... is there any reason in particular to not host the file on the rather generously bandwidth endowed ign servers?

Hmm ... could it be a journal entry trigger? The save that worked was also the first one that had my character make the diplomacy check to get Arithel's full story.

Seems I?ve found yet another way to break the mod (sheepish grin) ? sorry. *****Semi-spoilerish This run through, I made full saves every five minutes. I was up to 12 covering post-power source. Every one of those 12 would crash the game upon loading, but the pre-power source ones were fine. It seems the boulder area wasn?t the culprit. I?m guessing the player should take back only what was given, and not any of the original equipment. Kind?a makes things go ?kablooey,? for some reason. No duplicate plate for the undead-killer, it seems. A new save in the mine (with only potions, etc., taken back) seemed to work. ******End Spoiler Once I finish, I?ll figure out if it was the module or my stubborn streak bringing me back again and again. I still think your mods just hate me, specifically. (insert smiley here)

Dave, Did you talk to Pogg? (the kobold, next to the cleric) You should have a quest called "Eye of the Kobold" before entering the ruins.

Hi, again, SPOILERS I checked all the doors with all my characters and no luck. Is there a script I can run from the console to unlock them, or a key that you can give me the item code for? Also, I got no conversation from the Duergar with a name in the mines section of the Ruins. As well, I never got into the Lighthouse in Elton before leaving. Who should I have talked to? Cheers, Dave

Hi, Hilltop, Rapiers! Yay! I've run into a dead-end, I think. SPOILERS I went to the S. Border and found the Cleric, but he had no conversation. I couldn't get by the Rock Face, so I went to the Ruins. I'm now in there with a ton of locked doors that I can't open and nowhere to go. I have the Wizard and Jondel with me and neither seems to be able to open a door. Any advice? I'll keep checking more doors just in case. BTW, after the first in-area transition in the Ruins, there was a door partly hidden in the right-hand wall when I was standing there. I could open and close it but there was a wall in the way so I couldn't use it. Cheers, Dave

Rapiers, check! I think people are ending up around level 6 or 7, so it will probably start around there.

Hi, Hilltop, Thanks! That's good news about the new mod! I hope the level will be appropriate to use my current character. I've been kind of making an informal campaign of your mods. A small request - most of my rogues favour rapiers, a role-playing choice. Please put in a decent rapier or two. Cheers, Dave
