This module was definitely a waste of money. An obvious attempt to abuse Forgotten Realms players. This series and the Adventures with Volo series were a good example of why TSR was failing. Novice DMs could write a better adventure. I will say that the premise is an excellent idea (too bad they didn't put any work into it :(

The majority of the adventure details the overland trek to get to the tomb. Unfortunatly it is not well developed and I would have done better rolling encounters off a wandering monster table! Once you get into the tomb you get this wierd feeling. DID I PAY FOR THIS? WHERE IS THE ADVENTURE! The tomb turns out to be horribly short, and the ending leads into the next module badly. You can't roleplay a month of searching to no avail; players won't stand for that. So I had to tell them once they got back to Shadowdale that a month goes by and then they have this dream. Hmmmm...lame

But just wait if you play the next adventure it gets much much worse. Uhhhh :(

The Advedture was well presented and easy to follow. From a Dm's point of view the module is easy fit into most campaigns based in the Forgotten Realms. Players who have not had much/any experience, as well as seasoned players will find this module and it's companion modules challenging and fun.
