I also noticed some other small changes. One being that the Goblin Sharpshooters now have Hand Crossbows, giving them 1d6+4 damage instad of the ghastly 1d8+4, those things kicked PC-butt. Glad to see they are a bit nerfed.
And if I'm not mistaken, the Goblin Bombadiers and the Gravehounds (with Ninaran) weren't in the original either.

As with all other widely pirated stuff, handing out things for free that are easily available anyway isn't much of a sacrifice for WotC, and will only garner good PR.
Someone's thinking right over there - why get it from the netz when I can get it from Wizards, and in an updated version too!
Draws traffic and builds goodwill. (The fact it isn't a very good adventure to begin with is kind of beside the point)

One wonders if they'll release H2 and H3 too, yes. I doubt it, but it would be cool.

More would sting a bit in the eyes of us that have actually payed for those though

The gravehounds were there, but I didn't notice any bombardiers... I'll have to look at it again.
If I had to change one more thing in this PDF, it'd be to replace the Gnome Lurk in the Dragon Burial Site with the same Dark Creeper from the Undertemple. Letting it slip away and be faced again later will allow for a "You again?!" moment.

Nah, I payed for it almost a year ago, in dead-tree version. I think I could survive the occassional free PDF release without exploding with nerd-rage.

I replaced the Clay Scout with a wraith... I liked its flavor better, with the undead theme and all. Also, he can phase up and down between the floors - so it's a quick retreat down to Kalarel.

Cool changes. I really like the Apparition of Kalarel in there. I myself really, really enjoyed KotS, and it has served as great jumping board for Thunderspire Labyrinth. I can see how some people would see all the combat as a grind, but i had to just cut some of that out to make it work us.
This is great. I'm still utterly shocked they don't have 3-4 short, low level adventures on line for free to help introduce the game. This just seems like a no brainer to me.
You can't just pick this game up and start playing, like a board game. There is almost no support for new players and DMs (though the character builder is quite good for helping players).
