Very great module with some great puzzling, and the option of a gruesome ending (especially if you get EVERYTHING to come after you in the final part).

This is a sinister story with many possibilities for fun and varied roleplay. Yes, I meant to say that. My health does not allow me to run longer modules, so I have run the sinister par of it a few times, never failing to have challenge, fear and fun in the same run. In the module are also optional parts that easily could make out a 6 hour long session should you feel like it and allow your group to play out more. And og course, the best part, this is a story to be continued...

The Game: A party of six brave heroes APL2 gathered for a two hour game that turned into 3.5 hours of epic D&D adventuring.

What Made this Game So Amazing? The story brings to life the town of Termalaine and also builds the horror of an unknown dungeon, creating the two sides of adventuring that I enjoy so very much. Additionally, there are a number of amazing key elements to this story, 1) Kobolds. There is endless fun to be had with these scrawny creatures, who strive with their little claws to make a futile living mining deep underground. Yes they do need help, and so they expose their cute and helpless side, seeking pity from the adventurers. Who can resist? 2) Something Sinister. The fact that the kobolds found a scary door is one of the most interesting starts to an adventure that you can find. Who can resist finding out what lies behind the door, and why is it so scary? In fact, it is something sinister as the title suggests. As the anticipation builds with the party approaching this portal, the players' imaginations start to run wild, all kinds of theories as to what lies behind the door start to build in their mind. Speculation leads to intrigue before they even reach there! 3) The Dungeon. Created in chardalyn, the most mysterious substance that has been introduced to us during Season 10 is an excellent dungeon, laid out for your adventurers to enjoy. They can explore the whole thing, uncovering mysteries, puzzles, traps, secret doors, chests that you should not open, and eventually unleashing a nightmarish horror that your players must confront or whatever it is that they want to do. There are at least four libraries for your party to read their way through, and plenty of stuff to smash for the not-so-bookish barbarians of the group.

My Experience as a DM: Several of the players contacted me after to say how much they enjoyed the game, and while I completely lost track of time, I had a lot of fun exploring the world created by this adventure.

In Summary: Enjoy this adventure for as many hours as you like, because it's filled with the wonder and amazement that every D&D game should contain. Have fun!
