Dark Clouds Gather

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Module #UK7

by Jim Bambra, Phil Gallagher

Fear now stalks the land. A malignant entity is growing and festering high in the mountain peaks. With dark tendrils it reaches out towards the lowlands. No one is safe, caravans are not arriving at the village of Lurneslye. It is only a matter of time before the villagers fall prey to the dark and the evil they conceal. Powerful adventurers of levels 7-9, are urgently sought to banish the darkness. The sun must again shine in a clear blue sky and soon. Once the dark clouds have fully gathered, who knows what may be unleashed across the land?

[Louis Norton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This adventure has a lot of promise. The characters have to save an aarokocra accused of being evil, and then help against a new enemy (not in a monster manual, which is a plus). Ultimately the battle reaches a cloud giant's castle. It is hard to gauge the exact difficulty level, but it doesn't seem to be completely overwhelming or unfair. One of the better efforts from this era, in terms of balancing creativity and playability.
