Additionally, the new 'Concentrated Search' function would not work in the demo, only the original 'Search' will work to make that passage appear.Īs for the sewers themselves, they are just amazing. I note that my rogue did not automatically discover the passage even though she's an elf. However, the game treats that passage as a secret door (even though there's nothing secret about it), so until you let the rogue 'Search' you won't find the passage. Here comes my first criticism: when visiting the basement it is clear that there is a passage downwards, there's some green light coming out.

Yes, the tavern's basement has a passage to the sewers. Soon it becomes clear that three places are important: the inn to the right of the marketplace, where the party can rest safely, the provisioner's building just below the inn, where we can find new missions and create new characters, and the tavern to the north of the marketplace, where we can meet lots of people and. The keep's guards always ask the party to sheathe their weapons and Gurndal, the half-orc, is starting to get annoyed.

The castle's court is rather big and contains lots of buildings and NPCs. After talking to some guards wearing neat blue capes, we are admited inside. The game starts right at the entrance to the castle.

We are advised to take someone who can search for secret doors, so I make a rogue, a fighter, a cleric (Heironeous - War and Good) and a generalist wizard. Right, the beginning is the standard character creation. The last few days I've had the chance to play the demo for Keep on the Borderlands, a TOEE (Temple of Elemental Evil) module/replacement created by the Circle of Eight.
