A quite nice collection of puzzles you got there! The beginning is a bit tricky because i'm not sure what action actually opened up some gates in Tombs. After that it was quite nice going beside that invisible teleporter puzzle .. i always hate these, not your fault
I finished the mod with the first four cards in almost 2 hours according to stat screen plus a bunch of reloads. How to gain the remaining two cards is beyond me at the moment since all the puzzles seem solved and all four statues are lit. Perhaps it's because i did spare the wardens
or had to slay the skeleton guard myself (screwed up the fireball trap).

I'm glad you enjoyed it
4 cards it's quiet good for the first attempt
There is the reason you get only 4 of them :
Each time you decide to rest, it close a grid leading to a card. So if you wish to get all the rewards you will have to do all the avdenture without rest
Now that you know the reason, you may do the quest again ^^ Profite the puzzle solution are fresh in your mind
Personally I know this mod on one's finger-tips, so I'm abble to do the quest in 8 minutes!
Please anyone, dont spoil the reward content! No description, no screenshot
p.s : the cards and the illustration on it have been made by me.

I did a re-run for all cards (very easy when you know how) and noted something:
is it intentional that you can get to the end with only three lit statues?
First time i did all puzzle rooms before returning to the statues but this time i did them one after another.
Also by flipping the levers several times in the skull's puzzle i managed to crash LoG. Dunno if it's important so here's the message i got:

Thanks for your feedback, I'm checking it !
I discovered that there is a lot of lever which are not set propally. Exemple, when you use the levers for the the rewards after the invisible labyrinthe, you can use them to get as much item you want...
I was wondering, when you download the last update of the mod, do you have restart from the beginning?

What i liked: char race and level don't matter -> puzzle mod and all statue related rooms; maybe the maze a bit less
What i disliked: as already stated the invisible teleporter puzzle
Ulwaen wrote:> what is the puzzle you spend the most of time for it
the invisible teleporters .. without enough items to search the path it was a quicksave/quickload nightmare

Background and atomsphere are fine. Wardens going after an almost naked party is definatly an eye opener. The story yet seems a bit mixed. It starts a prison you want to escape, then you end up in a temple. What i did not get is that guy who jumps the party now and then. When he's an overseer or something he's doing a bad job because most of the time you spot him he just disappears.
