Hi everyone,

I've completed a Foundry Quest for your enjoyment. If you have a chance to play it, I'd love any feedback you have.

Name: A Kidnapping in Blacklake
Author: @winin
ID: NW-XGL8JDF4V
Description:
You've accepted a job from a mysterious patron in hopes of coin and adventure. But when helping a Neverwinter Guardsman with a simple Nasher-orchestrated kidnapping turns complicated, will you be able to stop the greater threat?

A courier just handed you a note about the job offer. You are to meet your contact down by the market in Protector's Enclave.

-Estimated 30 min. to complete.

-Designed to be challenging for a solo adventurer.

-Includes 5 custom “Accolades” (1 per map) for those who enjoy exploration. Be sure to post how many you collected in your review!

    Thanks! I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to look around off the yellow guide path. I put just-for-fun accolades in. One on each map starting with the house interior--the first map after Blacklake.

    Why thank you! My goal was an engaging-yet-compact story with plenty of stuff for the explorer types (me) to do on the side.

    I host a show for MMORPG.com about the Neverwinter Foundry. Your mission was my choice for the debut episode. You can see the VOD here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD2WRTfXAr8. Looking forward to more great things from you.

    Wow, I'm honored to be featured! Thanks! It was a lot of fun to watch you guys play through my quest. It is also eye-opening to see how other people go through the maps (especially the non-linear ones). I have another quest (Vermin in the Cave) and I'm hard at work on the third. All three of them will be part of "Working for the Man (in Grey)" and then I'm planning a 4th quest to finish off that story-line.

    FYI on the last fight, you can duck behind the sludge bucket to break LOS and get a breather. I randomly discovered that during testing and decided to leave it in for the tactically minded fighters.

    Two things you might want to mention on your show (which might help motivate Cryptic to fix them sooner):
    • Foundry authors have no control over what goes in the final chest, other than that longer missions generate better rewards. We can't specify that you get something for your class. Sorry. They are working on ideas to change that though.
    • They don't have boss encounters in there, but they are working on it.

    If you can help spread the word about those, it might will help players understand and hopefully avoid some frustration.

    Best of luck with the show!

    OK, i'm totally stuck.... the quest box on the right side says "head back down into sewers," but the sewers show up no where on the map. i am really starting to dislike this quest, and now i am stuck with it because i chose to do it as a quest for astral diamonds. grrrr....

    Sorry you are having trouble. Are you in the Back to Blacklake section, where you talk to the Nashers? The sewer grate is near some bushes on the back side of that ruined house. It is almost flush with the ground, but the sparkly trail should lead you right to it.

    nevermind, i dropped this quest. it wasted too much of my time. i wish i could rate it so i could give it 1 star, but since i dropped it without finishing it, i cant rate it.

    So you want to down rate something because why exactly? you can't find a sewer grate that is literally right next to you?

    Sorry toy, I did this quest and had zero problems even with the sparkle trail turned off. Think a little next time instead of wanting everything handed to you without any effort.

    I got disconnected right after talking to the nashers to stop the kidnappings. Now I've reloaded the game starting from the travel gate in Blacklake District, and my quest path says to head back into the sewers but I can't even find the building where I originally started hunting for the guy in the first place..... am I unable to complete the quest now?

    I very desperately need help with this quest. I am at the part where you have to clear the undead from the sewers and I have been all over the place, I cannot find one more thing to kill, yet the progress on the objective "Clear the undead from the sewers" reads 5/6 and I cannot progress. Am I bugged or am I just missing something?

    Hey guys,

    Sorry you are having trouble with the quest. It uses custom zones after you leave Blacklake, so you might not be able to get back in halfway. Unfortunately that is a limitation with the Foundry, as far as I know. I've run into that problem many times playing other people's quests.

    There should be 6 groups to kill in the sewers. Some rooms they might get stuck behind an object. I tried to keep them close enough so that you would spot them all at once, but double check each room. Especially the room with the skeletons on the platforms and the big room. The big room has 2 group iirc.
