[QUOTE="Eremite, post: 2066015, member: 24296"] I'll echo these thoughts and add this warning: this module is the sort that could turn a group off D&D for life (or for eight months or so in my case!). Anyway, on a more positive note, I would suggest the WotC boards where someone has posted a lot of 3.5E conversions/updates of the critters from CotSQ. Also, to make the adventure suck a whole lot less, I would consider adding in some sort of "safe zone" where the party can rest and restock. A small deep gnome city might be ideal perhaps with links to the dwarven town of Glen in Mistledale. I really think the absence of such a location is one of the key reasons that this really is a pretty ordinary module but it is also one that can be easily addressed. If you have access to [I]Underdark[/I], I would suggest adding in several earth nodes and allow the PCs to use them by providing them with an ally of some sort who is familiar with them. Actually, consider anything that would allow the PCs to discover a few new things (lie earth nodes) so as to take their minds of what is otherwise a pretty ordinary hackfest. [/QUOTE]
