[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 2636897, member: 24969"] Played it as well as D & Q series. One of the favorite campaigns I've ever run. The party were all elven magic-users/<something else> of about the recommended level so they were pretty powerful. The hill giant section went pretty well as expected. In both the frost and fire giant series, they got into these huge slug fests where the tanks would hold the lien while everybody else would be casting spells. In the fire giant module they never even made it past the initial corridor as the alarm was sounded and more and more giants arrived. In both cases they would have to retreat and flee magically, but they had killed almost every male giant in the place at that point so that when they returned, there was no way I could justify the giants still fighting. The frost giants pretty much surrendered, sang their praises and told them where to go next. The fire giants just packed up and left after the party used a mirror of mental prowness to scry into the dungeon and attempted to kill the dragon there with an arrow of dragon slaying. The dragon decided it wasn't staying when people were effecticly teleporting in and shoot arrows of dragon slaying at him in his sleep. the giants, missing all but a few males, saw the dragon leave and decided to follow suit. By time the players arrived again, ready for a big fight and lots of treasure, the dungeon was empty except for the drow in the bottom level. [/QUOTE]
