For single-player module for characters of level 1. It can be characterized as a linear hack and slash with some role-playing options.
Set in the Forgotten Realms, this module begins in The Greypeak Mountains.
You can have up to 5 companions, and there are a total of 14 potential companions, which all have developed personalities. During a single play through, you can encounter up to 8 companions to choose from. Just about every class and race is represented in the companions.
Your PC can reach level 7 or 8 by the end.
The Greypeaks includes many features of randomness (cdaulepps random treasure, NESS spawn system, random encounters). You can't go to all the areas, do all the quests, or meet all the available companions in one play through.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Due to the way I implemented cdaulepp's random treasure generation system, it is possible to get a uniquely-named item that has no magical properties, or has odd or conflicting magical properties.

Updates:
10/24/09: Added an out-of-character failsafe line of dialogue to allow you past the five-lock door, if you are unable to collect the necessary keys.
Very Good, Deserves a Look. *** SPOILERS *** The Five Locked Door gives unlimited XP. A Garbage Pile in Middle Caverns some Rags in Underground Dock gives unlimited loot (Trap Kit).

Thanks Dave! This will probably not have a sequel (nothing is in the works, that's for sure), but never say never. Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, Seryn, I've finished now. Thanks for a great mod. Is this a one-off or will there be a sequel? Cheers, Dave

Thanks, Seryn!! Somehow I never wandered through the light columns in all my searching. I did guess that maybe the other patterns on the floors were the solution, but of course they weren't. Cheers, Dave

DaveFritz; Walk your character into/through the light shaft in the room where the golem was :-)

Hi, Seryn, Stuck again! I'm in the Sverf Complex looking for the Drow thief. I have taken out the corrupted golem on the west side and cleared the lower tier of rooms. I've searched for a secret door or something (been around what I could access three times) and even bashed the workbenches to see if something was behind them. There must be more, because the Captain just asks if I've found the thief. What's next? Cheers, Dave

Hi, Seryn, Yes, that does help. SPOILER I tried once and found the way back locked, so I figured that I needed to find more parts of the area and more keys BEFORE using that door. Guess I should have realized that I was still in the same area, so that door was different than the ones that changed areas. Thanks!! Cheers, Dave

Hi DaveFritz; Based on the information you've given, it's hard to tell if you've explored enough. *********MINOR SPOILERS********** Before getting enough keys for the 5-lock door, you'll have to use the random door that asks "Do you want to use this door?: Yes, Definitely, Absolutely, etc." at least 3 times. If you use the "random" door enough times that it no longer gives you any options to proceed, then you are stuck like trevassi. However, if you're trying to find all 5 keys in the first area, it is not possible. I hope that makes sense--it's kind of hard to describe. Let me know if that didn't help.

Hi, Seryn, I, too, am having trouble with the 5 key door. I can only find two keys and I've double-checked all the containers I can find so far. With only two keys, I must be missing a lot of the area, but can find no access after searching everywhere. I do know that something is beyond what I can get to at the moment, since the Ranger can detect enemies outside what I can access. I also think something may have broken. I was leveling the party to L3. In the middle of leveling the Ranger, I got a message that he had spotted some tracks. Before I could react, the message disappeared, the leveling canceled and I was fighting an enemy. I have two questions. First, are some of the keys found in areas prior to the one with the actual door, ie am I going to have to replay from a save back in Dawn Pass? Second, if not, how do I get access to the parts of the area I know exist, but can't get to? Cheers, Dave

Thanks Anadra Tir'Gedlen! Glad you enjoyed it (and it sounds like you played with a female PC!). I'll take a look at that issue you mentioned. Thanks for the suggestion.
