[QUOTE="Rauthik, post: 3341660, member: 24174"] My group played RHoD and we had a great time. Some of the fights were difficult for us because our party was so unbalanced for some sessions (no cleric or arcane spellcaster) and so we found ourselves getting slapped around by Greenspawn Razorfiends and Giants here and there. We had several deaths in our run of it, but that's common for our parties, as they are usually never balanced and some of our players will throw 'the plan' out the window in the first round of combat and charge. So, it was difficult but we brought that on ourselves. My only complaint about the adventure, and this goes for most published adventures, is that there tends to be no treasure for the PCs to use for later in the adventure. At tenth level, you don't need another half dozen +1 short swords or cloaks of resistance +1 for the party treasure pool. You need a better sword than what you were using or magic boots (or whatever). It seems that with this adventure (and say Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil) that by the end of it you have gone up six levels or more and have the same equipment you started with... but now you have to fight Tiamat or an Elemental Prince. Somehow the +1 short swords you were collecting all along don't seem so good. This adventure at least had the halfling in town that you could buy stuff from but we couldn't afford anything because there wasn't a lot of loot from fights. All in all, now that I've rambled a bit, I'd say it was a good adventure but as with most published modules the DM should consider adding in some rewards here and there for the players. It just sucks to face the BBEG with only a +1 sword and no magic armor, when your 10th level. [/QUOTE]
