Module 110 is, along with it's better know companion, module 16, one of the cornerstones upon which the Ravenloft setting was built on. Unlike the original Ravenloft module, which placed heavy enfasis in a gothic atmosphere, this adventures has a more fantastic feel; harpies and an orc tribe beign the most prominent. Nonetheless, the story is excellent, and Ravenloft fans will be surprised by the names of some of the residents of Mordentshire. As it is, the adventure needs a little work to make it fit in the standard Ravenloft setting, but it's worth it. I searched for this one for a long time, and I wasn't disappointed.

In this classic sequel to the original I6, Count Strahd von Zarovich has returned... as nightmare incarnate! The adventure begins as an horrific dream, as the heroes find themselves drawn into a murky fantasy realm until they can't tell which side of their existence is the one true reality. The answer lies in the House on Gryphon Hill, where an enraged vampiric lord awaits his newfound prey. A disturbing, intense, and very well-scripted adventure for levels 8-10.

A moving story and time line. This is more difficult for DM's to control but some players like it. If you are looking for more of a dungeon crawl, this is not the product for you. However, overall this is a good product.
