[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6813567, member: 82106"] Ugh! KOTS is just one of those adventures that is hard to recommend. There's very little there that is original or memorable. The main dungeon is a slog, the BBEG only makes an appearance at the very end as a lair boss, and otherwise the plot is pretty much remarkable only for its meaninglessness.
