[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 1467107, member: 17077"] I played in the Forge of Fury more than two years ago now, and I still haven't forgotten it. Here is an adventure supposedly designed for low level characters and there is a Sucubus, Roper (!!!), Black Dragon, horrible molds, and let's not be forgetting the animated carpet... It was only through the most intense caution, extreme luck, and insidious cunning that we managed to survive. And even then we survived only barely. Our only way of killing the roper was to have the Wizard's owl familiar do bombing runs where it would fly and drop alchemists fire on it and keep doing that until it died. And that was after we very nearly lost a character that got grabbed by it. Luckily we had a rope tied to him. It took a warhorse and 4 other party members engaged in tug of war with the Roper to pull him free. And he came within one round (and a few HPs) of being eaten. The Succubus drained levels from one party member and nearly killed all of us when we retaliated. The mold drained double didgits of Con from the poor rogue. Heck, we were actually relieved to see that the boss at the end of the dungeon was "merely" a black dragon. And don't even get me started on the animated carpet... :mad: It was fun, I won't deny that. There is a satisfaction that comes from being able to say that our 4-5th level characters actually survived the Forge of Fury. But we have been extremely skeptical of the "Designed for 4 characters of X-Y level" on the back of adventure modules ever since. [/QUOTE]
