I decided to play this one because it had a 9.41 on the old vault with 318 votes. I played with 1.69 and CEP 2.6. I did not find any bugs.
This was an enjoyable module. It is a mostly linear story with a main story quest and lots of sub quests. Most were pretty standard fare. There were a couple of unique quests thought that were really well done. I was not able to complete all of the quests and I am not even sure why as there is no walkthrough. There is a little help left on the old vault page, but I was not able to solve them with what little help I could find. Once the story advanced past a certain point some were not solvable.
I did make use of the henchmen for my Sorcerer who began at level 1 and finished at 13. The combat was almost always well balanced. The treasure was as well.
Clearly this author put a lot of hard work into this module and I would play it again.
very enjoyable
This is a great module, many sidequests, but the journal will always keep you informed.Henchmen only get XP while they are with you, so you should plan to keep two of them for most of the time.
