H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth - I Have It!

[Hawke]

Any chance for some pictures of the maps? I don't need details so I'm not looking to throw rocks at a bee's nest named WotC... just want to see what sort of maps I'm getting into before purchase... just some big overall picture would be nice.

Sorry, I don't have any method to do that right now. BTW, I said this earlier, but there is a lot more art in this adventure than in H1. There are even several pages of full-color paintings of various scenes and villains that the PCs will encounter.

But do they come in a separate booklet, with a little circle in the upper right/left of each picture that has a number in it, and you hold your thumb over the number so the players don't derive any information from it?

Uh, sorry, flashback to the S-modules. *sheepish grin*

What kind of abilities do the various types of Duergar in the adventure have?

My local chain bookstore seems to have placed H2 on shelves already too.

And, I seem to have bought one!

There's a spellcaster, there's a brute that grows large-sized, and most of them throw bits of their beard at you.

and most of them throw bits of their beard at you.

Tell me that's a joke.

After that comment, i'd assume The dark dwarves are far realm tainted and their beards are living masses of tendrils. "Tear a hunk off, toss it at someone and it entangles the foe" sort of deal.

Close...they are described as having spines that grow amidst their beards. They can pull and throw these things at enemies to poison them. The Duergar have a more overt devil-worship vibe going on now. One of the sample encounter groups for them has a Spined Devil in it, frex. Maybe spiny/spiky little devil doods is their new aesthetic schtick?

I kinda like your 'tendril beard' idea even better than the above now that I think about it....

Found H2, character sheets and the giant-themed tileset today. I only bought H2, though. If you want it, go look for it! Chains are a good starting point.
