Description | |
This is a Prelude to Hordes of the Underdark, use an exported character from the end of Shadows of Undrentide to find out how the story continues! You've escaped the second fall of Undrentide with your life, but at what cost? Now you're trapped; in the Plane of Shadows, and right in the midst of a war between an ancient Magess, the City of Shade, and a mysterious shadow demi-god. Will you become a pawn in the political games of the City or out-smart them all while still managing to find your way home? |

Module seems to end when you enter a portal, even though I checked the number of areas.
Story wasn't much there either.
maybe it checks if you have legal character that finished SoU?
@Savickster: There are numerous portals in the module, the last one which transports you out of plane of shadow, afterwards there is one ending area.
Regarding module itself:
1. Fate of SoU Companions: Not Explained (-0.5)
2. Given Relic of the Reaper: YES (+0.5)
3. Unique use items: power stone - partially (only haste), mirror works (kind of) (+0.25)
4. Ends in Waterdeep: no, but close? (+0.25)
5. Ending level(should be at least 15, but since I finished SoU at 13th.. I will accept 16th): 16 (+0.25)
Final Vote: 7+0.75=7.75=8
Bugs:
- you can fool Iron Golem multiple times for multiple XP
- Elina still has her in-game shadow, despite plot, could use some creative CC to remove it?
- the gate the shadow army is guarding.. can be walked around
- typos: "dawk"-shade sentinel(intentional?); "here"(should be "hear")-Hens Derman;
- cutscenes cancel mylittlepony, as does one area (elina tower when you return to her)
- Once I attacked hostile shadows Elina's golems became hostile.. worked out without any faction bugs the second time I fought them. Strange.
This is a temporary rating only beause even though I love the smooth transirion from SOU and I'm looking forward to learnig more about the Shadow Plane, I'm stuck in the map with Hens (?).
He's already asking me for a metal / weapon from the Frost Giants but the doors / exit points both ging east and north are just not there even though they're both matked on the map =(. Send help please ^_^
