Uhh, I didn't read a whole lot of that part. You don't fight the Wiz 35 demi-lich, that's for certain. You beat up on a unique undead, a bunch of thaluud, and flee very quickly after getting the chalice artifact.
Now that I think about it, that section is probably the place with the greatest chance of players going off the deep end. That Tomb is an adventuring Holy Grail... I'm not sure how you keep your players from looting EVERYTHING. Other than unleashing the thaluud hordes, of course. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

After reading the book fully, I see that the concern I had over the artifacts is balanced out in the adventure so that all but the Chalice really have no long lasting influence in a campaign.
As for that item...there is this fella that wants to bring back Amaunator (sp?) that I'm sure would get wind of the party having the chalice...so he would probably be after it.

"Nip all this stupidity in the bud."
Oh, Hoondatha, my praises! You have given my character a new motto (and myself a new motto for game designers to follow, especially CERTAIN game designers [no, no names]).
love,
THO |

I agree...I understand the entrance shifts quite often...but the door itself stays the same if I read that correctly. What is to prevent a wizard from scrying the location of the door, and then simply going there with his party of looters?!
Talk about the mother of all treasure troves! |

I believe so. Our group is currently in the adventure and it's a few months after the Shadowdale: Scouring of the Land adventure. It should also be listed in the Grand History of the Realms book. |
