Not certain if the assistant to Damodar is a half-orc, it's never said, but it looks like it might be.[/spoiler]That 'parchment' is actually a character sheet! Several of the images in the opening credits were actual art from various D&D products. I really enjoyed it..enough to buy it when it comes out. More importantly, my kids enjoyed it, and even they panned the first one... I really liked the 'references' to old modules previously mentioned, the traps, and the fact that it kind of ran like a fairly good adventure... Other stuff I liked: [spoiler]- Party member death! - They had no bones about beating the party senseless and blowing up the cleric digesting in the dragon's belly. - Inter-party bickering - It wasn't overdone, but a nice touch. [/spoiler]What I didn't like... [spoiler]- Damodar wasn't much of a villian. Other than threatening to do stuff, he didn't do much. The main dude sliced off his arm, and he kinda just stood there... - Less monsters than I wanted - Looks like the spent all their money on the dragons and demons/gargoyles. No stock standard orc/goblin/gnoll or other humanoid threats. The spectres were kind of anti-climatic... - The non-sequiter bandit battle - Clearly a bad random encounter table for this adventure... - Not much fighting - The party was busy running away from the encounters. They stood against the lich briefly, and a couple of party members held off the bandits... I kept yelling at them during the white dragon encounter...everyone just stood around and let the cleric bite it. [/spoiler]</blockquote>
