[QUOTE="Sayburr, post: 2008927, member: 92"] I will not go into a huge review on this module since it has been covered so well before. The module is based on the characters heading from one city to another to confront Daresh, an evil wizard who has an army of gnolls and only the PCs can stop her. For the most part, this is a great adventure with semi-random encounters for the group to encounter on their way north. Each encounter is very much like the short Dungeon SideTreks and can be used in any campaign. The adventure as a whole though, I can only see running as the third part of the trilogy started by "Root of all Evil" and "Forging Darkness". The biggest problem with this module is the feeling of railroading. The text assumes certain things happened during the trip North. Heck, the Characters have been chasing Daresh for three modules and instead of getting to take care of the hate foe themselves in some epic battle, the magic item they are carrying does the deed for them. Talk about anti-climatic. All and all I would give this module a 5 if not for the ending, dropping it back to a four if you are playing it as part of the trilogy and a three if you buy it without the other two. [/QUOTE]
