"Where it turns east, a stone plug in the ceiling can be detected only with a DC 23 Athletics check made to sound the stone of the passage." - What the heck does that mean exactly?
I imagine "to sound the stone" means to bang on it and hear that it's hollow; using "to sound" as a verb to refer to this sort of sounding is pretty strange, but D&D has often had a certain linguistic adventurousness.

I've got it. We'll my son called to tell me that it came in the mail, and that I can't read it cause he wants to run it. blast.

Thanks for the answer. I asked because the Hammerfast book has a double sided poster map where, on one side, it has the whole town in .25 in squares where .25 in = 20ft. The whole town fits on the map.more like 1 Five foot square = 1/4 inch instead of 1"
So the whole map fits on the poster.
Looks very nice, but shows the traps and secret doors and such..tho not the encounter numbers..
I must say, this one looks just as deadly as the original. Very nasty traps and monsters (the few that are in there--as it is mostly traps and hazards).
If I didn't know at least 2 of my players probably got this as well, I'd almost want to delevel my 26th level party just to run thru it once (maybe a dream sequence or a go back in time thing...hmmm...)
