It's like asking, "Is the Model T a well-designed car?"The troglodyte ambush is too much and smacks of railroading, while the required NPC assistance is irksome. But there are plenty of other things about this module that stop me from calling it great. For one, there aren't any characters that compare to the best of other 1e module personalities, say, Lareth the Beautiful, Strahd von Zarovich (sp?), Kerzit, Acererak, Keraptis (who wasn't even in the module!), Eclavdra, or even the ghoul sorcerer from Bone Hill. The location has nothing on Bone Hill, the Caves of Chaos, Saltmarsh, Castle Ravenloft, ToEE, or the Fane of the Drow. And I've also been bothered by the fact that the town seemed to succumb just a little too easily. I don't remember the details, but I do remember thinking, What about the other townspeople, people in neighboring towns with relatives here, the other travelers, the king's guards, _someone_? Don't they see what's going on here?</blockquote>
