I was in town and saw in chat "Don't go to Dr Hercs XP Spa. It's not easy XP at all." So ever the curious I desided to go check it out. I was indeed surprised. It's not very well writen but the story behind it and the idea of it was in my opinion genius. They're always players looking for fast easy ways to level up and the creator of this foundry used that to his full advantage to lay the trap. I highly roccomend this trilogy. I found it very entertaining.
If you don't really want to check it out but are curious what the creator of Dr Hercs XP Spa did read on. But heads up it's a spoiler.

Ok so what the creator of Dr Hercs Spa did was place in his discription "Come on down to Dr Hercs XP spa where all the monsters are chained down so you can get very easy XP all the while enjoying a nice massage. Let the XP wash over as easy as a mountain stream." Those are not his exact words but you get the idea. So I figured I would go and see what the person in chat was talking about. After all it sounds ok for a leveling type module. So I go to Dr Herc and he does his "Welcome" type thing and tells me to step through the door. Once you step through the door it slams shut behind you and you find the monsters as promised before you. About ten of them..... only they aren't tied or chained down at all. In fact they come at you full force. So I was like " Dang glitchy dungeons." So I go to the next room after fighting for my life in the first room. And sure enough the same thing. No chained down monsters at all. Monsters yes and lots of them but nothing holding them back. Thats when I finally looked at the quest and realized the next objective was to survive and find a way out for revenge. The best trap so far in game for me. Even knowing as I went into the module that the discription was not true I still fell for it hook line and sinker. But I should note that the way it's written does promise you at least some revenge at the end. If not upon the person whom created this module at least upon the character that suckered you and your character. So this isn't just a module to trick players who are looking to level quick and easy. It does in fact have a story line as to why you and your character was tricked and feeds your appetite for revenge all the way through. Again the writing really could have used some work but the genius behind the idea earns this module an A+ from me at least.
But I honestly feel ,this module, will perhaps bring some people to a realization. In the world of D&D, even in Neverwinter, never look to level fast. It's the struggle of leveling up through adventure that makes D&D so very much fun. So my final conclusion out of this it's a place to send any one whom asks for a really good leveling module from the Foundry.
