Level: Medium to High – Rating; R, (adult situations)
Ed.: (gg) As noted above, the Author has beefed up some of the Monsters making this scenario a bit more interesting, hence the Medium to High Level Rating. Further, he has included numerous Custom Monsters and Characters in Towns. I used a Level 10 Party with two Fighters, two Priests, two Mages. The two main areas of conflict were quite (nicely) difficult even though I had progressed to Levels around 20.
Also, as stated by the Author, this scenario is Rated, “R”. There is a situation involving an Adult theme. It involves prostitution and the purchase of services. It’s not done in a crude manner, but the warning is there for the Player to take heed.
The Author has included an “Arena” that Players may utilize to advance the Party’s skill levels. It will take some time and may make the later Battles seem tedious, but it does give a Player the opportunity to play the scenario in a true sense by not cheating.
On the other hand, the Town named, “Seers” is definitely a cheat. Although not all the secrets of the scenario are given there, the important, necessary ones are. The Author has placed each of the “Hints” in such a manner that you must step to the next square, thus allowing the Player to see only what they might want to, should they be honestly seeking help. This I found to be quite nicely done.
The Author has included a Map of Green Meadows that is quite handy, especially in the earlier stages of the game. The Outdoor Sections, (20), are: X = 5, Y = 4. I have made maps of other areas. These would be considered a “cheat”, but I guess reading this Walk Through would be, too. If you would like them either e-mail me for the complete walkthrough zip.
If I might add a personal hint. You will acquire sufficient items in this scenario, but I found that some of the battles, with the Author’s beefed up Monsters, seemed a bit extended. This might cause the Party to run out of Supplies, Spell Points, etc. So, be advised to play this scenario wisely. It’s much more than a simple “Hack ‘n Run”.
You’ve come in response to a notice with a plea for help to rid the region of a Monstrous Being.
