[QUOTE="Messageboard Golem, post: 2009285, member: 18387"] This review is for Bastion of Broken Souls by Bruce Cordell and published by Wizards of the Coast. This 48-page adventure is designed for 18th level characters and retails for $9.95. [b][i]Spoiler Warning: the following contains secrets central to the adventure[/i][/b][i] (warning inserted by Psion)[/i] The premise of the adventure involves the demon prince Demogorgon and his internal conflict with his dualistic nature. One of the heads has devised a plan to kill the other and absorb a supercharged demon soul contained in the heart of a great red wyrm in order to survive the ordeal. This wyrm has become supercharged by feeding on preincarnate (unborn) souls. Demogorgon needs an edge in order to slay the dragon. This is where the PCs come in… This is a story that is heavy on planar travel (having the Manual of the Planes is recommended) and high level challenges and combat. Players will find themselves being tested at every turn and should surpass 20th level by adventure's end. It is one of the better high level adventures available and Bruce Cordell does an admiral job. The encounter with a fallen deity and his prison guard should make the players face some hard moral choices. The final climatic battle with a demonic red dragon will forever be memorable to the players (this guy has 700hp!). Besides combat, the story requires brainpower to know when to negotiate and when to run. When it is all said and done, the characters may find themselves in deep water with their prospective deities, depending on their behavior. In conclusion, Bastion of Broken Souls is a masterfully written adventure that is the perfect lead-in module for the upcoming Epic Levels Handbook. It has all of the elements of a great and truly unforgettable story. This one belongs in every DM's collection.
