I thought I was going to run through the entire series, but I think I'll just let the party wander off to do something else after this is finally over...

My players were shitting solid bricks looking at that (I always set the module cover up as a sort of sight barrier, along with the DM screen). The priest character got a wooden holy symbol slapped into shape PDQ after they looked at that....while the rest of the party quickly made stakes out of rocks, driftwood, whatever they could find. Anyway, whoever thought of putting that picture on the back cover, GENIUS!!! Mike B.
