[QUOTE="Stormdale, post: 9001258, member: 3555"] I know it probaby isn’t a popular option but CoS is a very poorly executed adventure. The original Ravenloft was great and designed for levels 5-7. Padding it out and making it for levels 1-10 was a bad, bad decision which simpy makes a very frustrating experience for many players (including me). You are sucked into Ravenloft but sorry, you can’t do anythting about it till you grind your way up to approriate level to deal with the actual adventure, WTF! I get very frustrated when adventures set up a situation then do not allow you to actually deal with it till you’ve been dragged though numerous sidequests. Better IMO to use it as intended as a self contained module later in a campaign (after lost mones as has been suggested for instance) with characters of appropriate levels for the damn adventure who have been sucked into the mists.... Sorry, not a major solution, just a gripe about the design of this one. [/QUOTE]
