A prisoner with knowledge vital to the safeguarding of Faerûn is held in Maladomini, the seventh of the Nine Hells. Retrieving her is a blood-tinted guided tour of all of this plane has to offer.

I have a question about the boss’s fire ability (the one that replaces Lightning Storm). Is that intended to be a ranged effect? Because the tactics section says the boss stays in the 100ft in the air bombarding the players with fire from a distance and that is their only fire effect. But the original Lightning Storm effect appear to radiate out from the boss and not be a ranged effect and the only change in the module was switching the damage type to fire. Was the intent that it be ranged? Or are we relying on the Seething Hatred to bring the characters closer for that fire ability and until they are in range the boss just uses lightning boltsd?

Hello! The answer to your question depends in large part on whether you're running it as an AL game or not. AL limits the types of changes that can be made to monsters, so the lightning storm (changed to fire) is for nearby enemies, while lightning bolt at-will is for ranged. Outside AL, lightning bolt would be replaced by fireball and lightning storm would have ground range. In AL, if you require additional fire to motivate the party, the fire bolts fired by the legions have quite long range too.

Having great fun playing this module! However, my party seem to have found a bit of a legal loophole :-). If they get to Prisoner T5-76259 and present the contract as defined in the chapter, there doesn't seem to be much preventing them getting Talabaste asking 'the question'. So I used the 'lost memory' as a get out...
However, if they had the spells for restoring memory that may have been a deal breaker - what did I do wrong?

Hi,

The issue is not with asking the question, it's with the Prisoner not being willing to answer until the terms are fulfilled. The general theme of infernal contracts is that they are "enforced by the universe" and cannot be cheated or circumvented. Even if memory is restored, there is no way to get cooperation, the main issue isn't "not remembering the answer". Hope that helps.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
