CODM2 - Mordring - The Dark Hand

A routine assignment lead you to investigation of a cryptic organisation called the Dark Hand. Who are they? What are their goals? Only one way to find out.

This map is a love letter to classic dungeon crawls meant for a level 1 party (level 2 possible for slightly easier beginning). It can get challenging so a balanced party is recommended. By the time of completion you should reach level 4.

Estimated time of completion depends greatly on your pace of progression, attention to lore and other factors (mainly RNG in combat) but the average playthrough should take 2-3 hours.

Hints (minor spoilers):

All kinds of gear provided in the initial room as well as a camp to adjust your spells and a couple vendors, one with identification, available. Just roll your characters and worry about equipment once inside.

I've tried to implement hints to minor riddles in lore entries but just for the sake of players who don't read those: Rings are the literal Key in this adventure. Always pick them up and don't sell them!

If you seem stuck, explore another path. If you have bad luck with chests and thieves tools look for the Master Key.

Try playing on the intended difficulty: Authentic. If it proves too hard, nerf the mobs via settings instead of going into Story Mode as it also reveals all the hidden doors that are closed for a reason and opening them too early may mess with your progression. Don't worry, there is no potentially missable content behind them, they are just implemented as shortcuts to your main camp once you clear successive rooms.

METAGAMING hint, read at your own discretion: thunderwave/shatter, turn undead and silence while not necessary to win will greatly facilitate the progression.
