A sinister force, long thought destroyed, stirs in the land. As a she-demon bent on wreaking worldwide havoc struggles to escape her prison and a foul demigod plots to bend her to his will, a band of desperate heroes must infiltrate the very heart of darkness in a daring attempt to stop them both.

The setup to this adventure is good; it ticks many a box of old world fantasy and is narrated brilliantly by Bernard of whom I am now a fan. However, the story becomes lost and forever ongoing where even the narrator becomes mediocre because of the ongoing story.
Also (slight spoiler)..

The female character starts well but soon becomes a stereo type old fantasy weak heroine which contradicts her start.

The characters become lost within the story / and then story telling which is a polar opposite from the build up. Shame. It could have been a truly epic adventure.

A great start, well narrated to a point.

The story is fantastic unfortunately it has been ruined by the stupid stupid decision by this talentless narrator to whisper parts of the dialogue by the familiar. I can barely hear his ridiculous whispering which has made it all but impossible to follow the story solely on audible.

Please don’t employ him again as he clearly lacks the talent to create another voice & has resorted to what should have been apparent to anyone that the sound would not magically increase for listeners during his barely audible whispering!

He has ruined a fantastic book!

Narrator ruined story

I’ve played in Greyhawk for 40+ years and know the Temple well. The story isn’t well paced, has some ridiculous situations in it, seems to randomly ignore the passage of time and the characters are ALWAYS too slow to react to events.The Narrator is poor, his English accents are horrendous, though the characters are identifiable when they speak. The writer bases one of his main plot hooks on something that is impossible according to Greyhawk lore, namely smoke powder doesn’t work unless you’re a follower of Murlynd The White Paladin, who isn’t mentioned in the story at all. Despite my review I didn’t hate it, but it’s not great.

Not Great.
