Edinmoor Court holds a sinister secret. For as far back as Men can remember, the keep has stood as a utopian beacon of peace, where artisans flock to share their skills, creativity, and imagination. But now the unthinkable has happened, and murder is committed inside these walls.
Blood on the stones of the citadel.
Will your party have the courage to seek the source of the evil that has taken place? Will you help or hinder the investigation...
*This is a party-based adventure designed for 5 characters of 7th level. Click on the White Stallion
and choose the option to Gather your Party, which will bring up the Party Editor Menu
*This campaign uses the Storm of Zehir Party Chat style conversations throughout. I have tried to
spread a broad selection of class, alignment, stats, skill ranks, race, deity, and even gender
attributes throughout the various dialogue options, which will give those party members a chance
to make their voice heard. I would say that Bards, Clerics, Wizards, Rogues, and Druids are well
represented. Paladins should be a welcome addition to the Party. And also intelligent or charatcers with high wisdom. Diplomacy will come into play in many conversations.
*The campaign is designed for characters of Good or Neutral alignment.
*This campaign uses the Storm of Zehir death system. Characters will start bleeding
if they drop below 0 hitpoints, and will die when they exceed negative half their total
hitpoints. There is no Respawn. When a character dies, you will need to use a Raise Dead
scroll to bring them back. There are 2 NPC priests who have such scrolls for sale.
Use the members of the party tactically. Save early and save often.
*This campaign uses restricted resting. You will find campfires scattered about the various areas.
Clicking on the campfire will bring up the option to Rest.
*Click on the White Stallion to travel between wilderness areas, once those paths have opened up.
*There is one companion available to join the Party.
Known issue: The companion has a deity of Hoar. The first time you get to level him up, the game
will force you choose a Nature deity, due to his class. One option is to level the companion as
a new class such as Fighter, and keep Hoar as the deity. However, if you do select another deity,
Kelemvor might make a good choice.
Known issue: I had hoped to make use of the crafting system from the NWN2 Origianl Campaign. Unfortunately,
due to conflicts with the SoZ scripts, I have not been able to get the crafting items and workbenches to
function properly.

In addition, I would like to thank the following members of the community for their assistance:
*Jason NH, besides the "Empath Abbey", which is stunning, also combined all the haks and overrides
int the single .hak file.
*PJ156 for a thorough playtesting of this module and giving me much needed feedback on combat balance.
Any remaining issues or questionable design decisions are me own fault, either through stubborness
or oversight.

*Nicethugbert for background information about the Forgotten Realms deities Garagos and Hoar. And
a couple of dialogue options as well.

VERSION HISTORY
9/9/10 Edinmoor V. 1
9/12/10 Edinmoor V. 2
*Fixed an optional enemy that was flagged as "plot", thus making him unkillable.
9/18/10 Edinmoor V. 3
*Added map pins for the horses in the Forest and Mountains.
*Fixed it so if you choose to release the companion from your party, he will not be able to join again.
11/25/10 Edinmoor V. 4
*Changed the On_Module_Load to the default script. This appears to fix the issue with crafting as items that have an Activate Item script like the smith hammer, should work. And also Rods of Buffing.
*Added a couple of lines of epilogue to two other NPCs after finishing the adventure.
*Gave the stirges a more appropriate description.
