Like another reviewer, I also have mixed feelings about this module. Overall, my players and I enjoyed it, but since my players had played in the previous modules leading up to this one, the information provided by SEER was already known to them. We enjoyed the roleplaying aspects of it. Well some of it, you don't get to really do any RP in Part 2, since the players are so far away from the giants, and the giants don't respond to any verbal threats. The distance and the number of giants present means physical attacks would be ineffectual and suicidal. Seeing their reaction to Hartkiller & his appearence was priceless. The moral dilemna of the problem put before them, and the optional fight with the Beast of Talos was challenging and fun. We were all dissappointed that the final fight was very underwhelming. My players would have preferred to have a more hands-on role in fighting Ryndolg, instead of watching it. The Giants in the Snow fight would have been mostly forgettable if it wasn't for the fact that I kept rolling Nat 1s on my attacks.
