Mod gameplay screenshots[]
A terrified boy approaches the party in Waukeen's Promenade during Chapter 6.
The lad tells the PC that a drow in Enge's Shop will harm him unless they follow the instructions on a note provided. A Journal updates.
Confront the Drow in the shop and find out what's going on. A proposal to hire the party for a task will take place.
Meet the cunning and highly intelligent Kummerial at the stated rendezvous - he'll transport the party if they agree to the job.
Now in Menzoberranzan, Matron Mother of House Jeven takes stock of the bhaalspawn and gives an initial order. A test of sorts.
Inside the drow city - the Matron's Captain will order your first mission. Failure means big problems for the party.
Optional side quests can be had by exploring. Here the PC addresses a devil who is soon to claim a drow mages's soul. The mage pled for help. A negotiation begins.
The party decides to take part in a fighting arena for a prize. Three rounds of combat must be won, no resting in between.
As the plot thickens, Kummerial protects the PC from a mind probe from the matron. Things are coming close to do or die in the city.
A rival house attacks the city, bedlam breaks loose, and the party obtains the wardstones needed to free Jarlaxle and rob the treasury. Elder Orbs guard an area that must be traversed.
The Matron Mother and allies block the party's progress. A final boss battle ensues.
The mod makes ample use of banter with the core Bioware companions. This is a fun mod overall.
