Mar 31, 2008 0:52:16 I remember reading an adventure, where the pc's was subjects to a shadow curse which drained their prime scores (fighter = str, mage = int etc) for every hour they were at the place where the curse was active.

I also rembember something about, that the shadows in the curse was to be seen when the light from a lantern cast light on a floor. Here the shadows moved and startled the pc's. The shadows did not attack only drained.

Can you help me out here?

It was a 2nd ed ad&d adventure

Apr 02, 2008 5:15:07 Was it the Forgotten Realms module The Dungeon of Death? The blurb reads:

Cryptic rumors spread across the far North, sparking new interest in a shadow-haunted ruin. Although it was once a seat of ancient dwarven power, centuries of unspeakable evil have transformed this former gem mine into the demon-infested, trap-filled Dungeon of Death. Its name is well deserved - unwary visitors fall victim either to the ravenous fiends that reside within the dungeon or to the insidious Shadow Curse that pervades the place. Inside lies a grueling challenge of skill and courage that only the bravest and most experienced heroes will survive.

Does this ring a bell?

I live to serve - the fact that I'm most likely for a lot of fun happening is reward enough. :D
