Shadowlords - Hills Edge - Part 2 - Quest Journal
In the previous module, it was discovered that unknown forces were pitting the Red Shield militia of Scornubel with Zhentarim troops. The sole purpose seems to have been the ready creation of corpses, which were transported to Hill’s Edge by a rogue known as Shrak. You have travelled back to Scornubel, with little more than the name Quincel left on a note, and a claim ticket for a warehouse in Hill’s Edge. After explaining the situation to Josura, you must continue on to this little town to investigate further.

Journal
The sidequests that are available are very minor and one that shouldn’t became so as events are implied but not enacted, or maybe I missed something. It was pretty easy to find out where the main plot line lead you so maybe I just jumped in a bit too quick without exploring absolutely every avenue.
This module still uses a fair bit of random loot like previous the modules though there are some interesting items to be found and you should be able to use some of them later on in the series, whether this has been implemented I don’t know yet.
This adventure does dip you into the world of +1 weapons and there is a chest that when opened may yield such an item if you have a weapon focus for a particular weapon, anything up to that level however can be handled by ordinary weapons, which is handy because depending on your class and henchman choice you may not be able to avoid certain fights.
The adventure is pretty short, shorter if you dive straight in and shouldn’t take very long to complete at all, there are some nasty fights, all of which made me glad I was using a fighter type character, how low level spellchuckers would fare I don’t know but I’m guessing they could be in for a bit of a challenge.
Apart from some challenging combat however there is very little here to challenge a player who has maybe played a fair few modules before hand and as I played I mostly had in mind the other modules in the series to come afterwards. There are a couple of puzzles but nothing too taxing and that is the general feel of the adventure as a whole.

Henchmen
Once again there are 3 familiar faces that can be used for a henchman but you can only choose 1. I chose Anera again because she seems more integral to the plot than the others but I’m sure I read somewhere once that all 3 have romantic dialogues.
Here are the list of henchmen:
- Nooble Unders - Fighter.
- Tiera Swift - Thief.
- Anera - Cleric.
Other Spoilers
I couldn’t really find anything spoiler-ish in this module, everything was pretty straight forward and obvious, if you spotted anything unusual, post a comment and let me know please
