Dorion Hills
The sleepy village of Dorion, nestled between hills and woods, has long been a relatively safe place. Recently however, demi-human bands have been attacking people increasingly nearer to town. The Mayor has called for adventurers to put an end to these monster attacks before the town is overrun. (See readme in .7z archive for more info)

====================================
Uploader's note / Hint / Minor Spoiler - below.
*******************************************************
There's one NPC called "The Friendly Barbarian" (a merchant) in an area full of respawning enemies. He has very useful stuff in stock. Unfortunately the merchant is very brave and very reckless - he has annoying habit to throw himself into hopeless fights against nearby wandering bands of enemies. He is tough himself but stands no chance in alone battle against numerous foes. It's essential to keep him alive at any cost by aiding him in fight, if he is involved in any (and it's good to have a dozen healing kits in the backpack all the time), because some items this merchant has to offer could be crucial for PC to have a chance of survival when he would face the final enemy.
Or... might be a good idea to change his characteristics a bit (in Toolset - eg. make him plot character and/or shorten his perception range). He's located in Dorion Mountains.

Solid gameplay, but no storyline.
Not sure what Trixter's on about, but there's a story. It's a cliche and there aren't any role-playing opportunities, but it's a bit more than pure hack n slash.
I followed Sawark's advice and started at level 7. I probably could have started a little lower, but I still got up to level 12 because of the endless respawns. The only challenges were the bosses, but even the Dragon was no challenge at all with the dragon-slaying gear I was provided.
I did like that all the quests could easily be solved. Everything was linear and straight forward. There were still some traps, locks and hidden areas as well.
I really enjoyed the mod and would recommend it to a solo or small party of around level 7 or so. It was a fun 90 minutes.
Simple and short, and all worked pretty much. I was left with a number of items that were not acknowledged by the quest givers, or had not been given as quests at all! And I would suggest checking around town before leaving this module in case you missed an interesting area and quests...
