Drow Modules D3: Vault of the Drow
...Now for a brief synopsis: The module starts out with the party leaving the Shrine of the Kuo-Toa for a far off drow outpost in the Underdark. Along the way¸ the PCs do battle with an assortment of baddies¸ chief amongst them a drow magic-user and his succubus consort. Towards the end of the module¸ the PCs penetrate a major drow fane dedicated to Lolth¸ located in a hauntingly beautiful drow city¸ where mind flayers¸ devils¸ and demons freely walk about. Here¸ the PCs fight off dozens of drow clerics¸ magic-users¸ and fighters. The former equipped with powerful magic items called tentacle rods¸ which attack as 6 HD monsters independent of the rod wielder. The module climaxes with an epic battle with Lolths avatar. At the conclusion of the battle¸ the PCs discover in their possession some strange magic items that serve as transportals to Lolths home plane¸ the 233 layer of the Abyss¸ the dreaded Demonweb Pits. The last module in the series¸ Queen of the Demonweb Pits¸ details the Demonweb in rich detail. Once there¸ the PCs are given the opportunity to remove Lolth permanently from their campaign¸ for demons or devils killed on their home plane are permantly destroyed.
In short¸ high praise should be given to the author of this legendary series of modules -- Gary Gygax¸ of course -- for producing unparalled game aids. Long live the drow!...from Amazon reviewer Alphonso Warden
