We approached the place kinda non-chalantly and got caught up in an epic meatgrinder of a battle that took all night to play out. From a player's perspective, it was notable mostly for that massive fight. At the end of it, we were left with a basically empty dungeon complex at something like 5 in the morning... I don't think we found much of the secret Tharizdun stuff, but I think we can be forgiven for missing it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> . I think one unlucky PC died three times during the battle.Some months later when I was DMing I bought it and read through it, and I vaguely remember being surprised at some of the stuff we missed. Wasn't there some permanent stat-gain magic in there somewhere? In AD&D, that sort of thing wasn't very common. Overall, it was a fun module and a nice example of a dungeon with an organized, intelligent defence, but maybe harder to just chuck into a campaign than most adventures - in order to get to all the secret areas, a group really needs to have some idea of the Tharizdun rituals that show up in a couple of places. Or a much higher tolerance for trial and error than most of my groups have.</blockquote>
