Plot summary

Talons of Night can be played as a sequel to Vengeance of Alphaks.[1] While in search of the Periapt of Pax, the player characters encounter a ghost ship, spatial spiders, and the sinister people of Thothia.[1]

Peace negotiations between Thyatis and Alphatia are about to start, and the King of Norwold asks the player characters to get information about a previous agreement at the library of Edairo on the Isle of Dawn. At the library, the party receives clues and then travels to an ancient temple where there are puzzles to solve. From there, they seek the lair of the Night Spider and an ancient artifact. When the party returns to Helskir for the summit, they are framed for the kidnapping of the Emperor and Empress. The party must travel through the Outer Planes to the Sphere of Entropy and Entropy to rescue the royals and avert a world war.

Reception
gollark: For mod management with modpacks, I personally just use a shell script which downloads and unzips a modpack, then copies stuff from a local mods folder.
gollark: Chrome is an awful memory hog.
gollark: I'll try using the oracle JRE instead of OpenJDK or something.
gollark: It works non-laggishly on 4GB. The issue is that it crashes with errors about failing to allocate memory fairly often.
gollark: I think I set it to 4GB.
