-Added Ghost Light Placeables to the second level to make the halls not so dull.
-Changed title color of boss items to blue.
-Lowered AC of boss.
-Added some flavor scripts to add to the mood of the keep.
Added Note: This module lacks story because it is a test module. I planned nothing , simply opened the toolset and started seeing what I could do. The only "story" of this mod is that your character, for purposes unkown, has been traveling along this road and comes across this fortress and decides to explore it.
I enjoyed making this short module and learning the new toolset and glad to see that some people have enjoyed the short dungeon I managed to create. That said, I will not be updating this module anymore as I am now focusing on starting my true story-driven module.
"The road you have traveled has brought you to a forboding and desolate region known as the Deadlands. As you follow the single path through the mountains you come upon a massive keep known as Shadow Keep. The region around it is filled with undead and yet you feel something calling to you within the dark walls of the stronghold."
Shadow Keep is a small hack and slash dungeon crawl designed to take a level 1 character to level 3 and get a couple magical items to take with them on their next adventure all in about 15-30 minutes.
It's a short adventure I made while learning the toolset and decided to release it to the community due to the lack of modules here right now.
Tested with a bard, fighter, paladin, cleric, and warlock.
I rated it a bit higher than most by accepting it for what it is, a great little starter dungeon/hack n slash. Some great little twists like the DM and maze affair. Store was a bit strange, but welcomed as I used an overpowered cleric who had a lot of stuff to unload, lol. Anyway, nice job for just 'opening the toolset and making a dungeon. Yikes, I've worked for several hours with the toolset and have nothing to show for it. _________________________ JS

A fun little adventure, if a bit over-rewarding.

Tried this again with a lev 2 character - finished at lev 3 a few hundred XP short of lev 4, with no deaths/respawns - yes it is too easy for a lev 2 start. On reflection does seem to be balanced correctly for a lev 1 so long as you get to lev 3 for the final boss [first time I was using a lev 1 drow fighter so never got to lev 2!]. Only concern is it does feel a bit of a 'Monty Haul' job at the end. Started with only basic gear but finished up decked out in +2 gear plus those cool, but possibly overpowered, custom blue items from the boss. I suspect a few people might feel this amount of gear on a level 3 character is a bit over-the-top... Still good fun, but maybe toning down the end gear would be an idea. Really like those custom reward items but perhaps would be better if they were a bit less powerful?

Nice first try at a module. I hope to see more Dialog and encounters in your next Module. _________________________ If you don't like the game, why do you post in the forums?

Fast paced action and little dialog is what makes RPG's fun. I like to get right to the point when playing a game. This was great. I look forward to more modules like this. Thanks!!!

Maybe consider throwing a decent simple weapon in the module. Had problems w/o martial weapon skill. Other way, well done.

A good small mod. Well done. Perhaps too much stuff for a low level mod.

A nice, solid little hack-and-slash adventure. I would have liked a bit more story but it's definitely worth checking out and I'm looking forward to more of your work.
