To the community...
This is my first attempt at a NWN2 module and despite the daily (and sometimes hourly!) frustrations of being a total noobie working in the toolset, I've made some progress but due to my VERY limited skills I'm at a point that I can't seem to get past. I'm posting 2 modules, the Hermit's Chalice, based on the tutorial produced for NWN1 by Firestarter and a very small test module that I use to teach myself before I muck up my rebuild of my version of The Hermit's Chalice. I built it for NWN1 about 5 years ago and am trying to rebuild it for NWN2.
I know there's still a ton of work to do on it... I need to add NPCs, quests, journal entries, conversations, etc., etc. It's taking a lot longer than I expected simply due to the fact that I'm such a novice that trying to do anything takes me 3 or 4 attempts before I get it right. With the help of rjshae, kevL_s, andysks, Taihou, and Aqvilius, I've been able to figure out encounters (for the most part!). And thanks to kevL_s and Clangeddin, I'm partially proficient at importing .erf files and hak packs.
The problem I'm having now is that I want to import and use a few custom creatures but can only due so in my test module and not necessarily in my main module. I'd like to use the snakes built by Arpharazon, the giant frog by Kalister68 and any version of a Carrion Crawler I can find. I have been able to add the snake but can't seem to add the frog to The Hermit's Chalice, but WAS able to add it to my test module. Unfortunately, I can't find what the difference is between the two mods or what I did differently.
I know there are better minds that mine out there in the community, so if you wouldn't mind taking a look at both of them and see if you can tell WTF I'm doing wrong. And please remember when you send any advice, write it for a noobie with absolutely no scripting skills and limited abilities with the toolset.
Feel free to post your advice and comments here for all to see, maybe they'll also help someone besides me. But if you want to reach me directly, I'm at angry_yard_gnome67@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance for the help!

I am definitely not one of those better minds. But kudos to putting the work in. Content creators really are appreciated. Work and family don't allow me much game time during the week but I'll give them both a go this weekend and try to throw in a helpful two cents if I can.
Feel free to ask questions in the forums: https://forum.neverwintervault.org/c/nwn2
Which HAK files this module requires?
See the two links under Required Projects.
Areas looks nice. I hope you have good ideas for quests and NPCs.
