Since late February, I’ve been playing Hordes of the Underdark, the second expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights. The story was a continuation of Shadows of Undrentide, the game’s first expansion pack, which I played two years ago. Therefore, I opted to undertake the adventure with my existing character, Daeris. After Shadows of Undrentide, my dwarven fighter was 12th level. I noticed that the pre-generated characters in Hordes of the Underdark were all 15th level. Daeris was a bit behind, but I decided to use him anyway. It worked out fine.

Today, I concluded the adventure, which unfolded over three chapters. Along the way, Daeris ventured to Undermountain, the Underdark, and Cania, the frozen eighth level of Hell. The conclusion took place back on Toril, in Waterdeep. At the conclusion, Daeris had to face the arch-devl Mephistopheles in an epic battle. Needless to say, Daeris was victorious and his name is now uttered alongside the greatest heroes the Realms has ever known.
