Message: <blockquote data-quote="der_kluge" data-source="post: 3164668" data-attributes="member: 945">I have the Treasures of Elbard, Black Ice Well, and Hellstone Deep.IIRC, I wrote a review of either BIW or Hellstone Deep - I think the latter.  Just some useless trivia, I was Hellstone Deep's first customer - ever. I bought it at GenCon '04 before the dealer room opened Thursday morning (I was in there also as a vendor...)Anyway, a quick synopsis - Treasures of Elbard is ok. The premise has something to do with retrieving the lost treasures of Elbard - some minor artifacts which were lost ages ago. It involves a valley with some spiders, I think.  Ok, I never ran that one. I mined it for some ideas.Black Ice Well I ran - most of.  The campaign died before I could finish it, but it wasn't the module's fault.  Basically, it's a huge underground dungeon crawl filled with Slaad and demons. At the nadir of this complex, there is "black ice" which is the embodiment of evil, basically, and the demons have been guarding it, but it's slowly been seeping out over the centuries, corrupting the land around it. It's a blood-bath of a module.  But fairly well written, and generic enough that you could plop it anywhere.Hellstone Deep involves traveling to a pocket dimension to kill some dude named Draz Ghulan - a bad ass Fire Giant, IIRC. Along the way, you travel into an ancient drow city which is now populated mostly with undead. It's by the same author as BIW, and is a really challenging module - totally appropriate for 20th level characters.BIW and HD can be used together very easily with some creative manipulation.  If you have a high level game, I'd recommend both of them.</blockquote>
