Someone is trying to abduct a dragon chick from it's dragon/druid mother. Can you and your faithful pet wolverine uncover the plot?
---------------------
You will need at least Mask of the Betrayer (MotB), and most likely Storm of Zehir (SoZ) as well. I have tried to avoid using SoZ models or scripts in the module.
---------------------
Gameplay
The module is playable starting with a level 1 character.
Several opponents in the game level up to match the average
party level, so there are a few challenges for higher-level
characters as well.
Players can only sleep in beds or beside camp fires
(click on beds or camp fires to interact with them)
Raw meat can be cooked on camp fires or stoves
When the PC dies there is no respawn - so save frequently
The HAK pack changes the panther animal companion into a
snow leopard. The snow leopard blueprints are courtesy of
"Cyphre's Companions Pack":

********spoilers*********** I guess that's what happened to me. Is there a command I can use or variable I need to set. I had the dragon chick in my party. By the way I am enjoying it and found the blood beast particularly fun. _________________________ The Wizard's Apprentice - A single player adventure for spellcasters guaranteed to rumple your robes and warp your wand!

The 'meeting' only takes place if you have the young dragon in your party. A conversation should fire between the PC and the young dragon before you go through the gate. That conversation will un-hide the 'boss'. If for some reason the conversation doesn't fire, then the boss won't appear.

****Spoiler alert**** Hi Dann, I got to the ruins and talked to crystal who suggested that there was someone to meet in the ruins. When I went in, there was nothing there (aside from a tower housing the ghost of a dead, and very foolish, mage, and a horrible vampire/demon who scared the poo out of the thief). I opened the game in to toolset and saw what was supposed to be there, but it isn't there fore me when I go there in-game. Is there another quest I need to do before I find it? I think I have gone everywhere and done everything else. Thaks for any help you can provide. _________________________ The Wizard's Apprentice - A single player adventure for spellcasters guaranteed to rumple your robes and warp your wand!

Hey Dann, Thanks for the info on re-skinning. If someone hasn't already posted something like this on the vault, you may consider doing so. It sounds like it would be useful. _________________________ The Wizard's Apprentice - A single player adventure for spellcasters guaranteed to rumple your robes and warp your wand!

It turns out that reskinning an existing model is really quite easy. I used the free DDS Converter 2.1 to change the Red Dragon body and wing textures to TGA images, made them white in an image editor, saved them (with the original alpha-channel), then converted them back to DDS. Putting them in the override folder makes all Red Dragons appear as White Dragons (in all modules), while making a HAK pack will only convert them for a specific module. Unfortunately the White Dragon breath weapon doesn't have a visible effect, but it still does cold damage in the game.

"How did you make a green dragon? Can you make a white one too?" I just used green tints over the bronze dragon model. Tints add extra colour over the top of the existing model skin. You generally can't make an existing model appear lighter by using tints though. You'd have to completely reskin the model (which is beyond my limited editing abilities - for now).

DannJ, my character was lvl 2 barb/lvl 1 fighter with the magic longsword and armour. The enemy might have fallen if not for the healing potion guzzling. While I really enjoyed the module, no player likes to have to battle enemies far too strong--dying repeatedly. A true DD'er--not an arcade player--quits the mod and starts a new one fresh with a new character. Players will enjoy your module more if you give them at least a 50/50 chance to survive. I didn't see that from the first big enemy--and there's worse still? So, I ran with my life when the battle was obviously lost and that was that--moving on to a different adventure with my character intact. Good job amigo nonetheless, maybe think about moderating the big enemies because otherwise it was great--hence my 9 vote.

Him? If you think he's hard, then you'll hate the guy under the wizard's tower. :) With four members in your party, and as long as you're at least about level 3, you shouldn't have much trouble with him. I've died a few times fighting him, but he usually targets your party members first (buying you some time). He's a push-over if you're playing a melee fighter, but mages might have some trouble.
