I thought the Drizzt article was well-done, and would be an exciting encounter for a party. The skill challenge seems well constructed, and seems like an excellent opportunity for roleplaying and measuring the party’s strength against an icon of the Forgotten Realms Universe.

He’s not a bad guy.
He’s the good guy in the article.
Your group has to prove to him, through combat and a skill challenge that you are on the same side.
It’s pretty cool, if you don’t get hung up on the “We Hatez DRIZZZZZZT” stuff.

It’s interesting that they’ve chosen to publish official stats for Drizzt as an antagonist. He’s been available as a sample PC in the character builder for some time, but to my knowledge never before as a “bad guy”.

I personally feel that’s a bad move, but it’s an interesting one nonetheless.

…as a matter of fact, since the paywall went up, I don’t think Dragon Avenue has done much ASIDE FROM reviewing each and every article.

Dragon Avenue (http://www.dragonavenue.com) reviews each and every article that comes out in Dungeon and Dragon, to the best of my knowledge.

The Caves of Chaos appeared in Keep on the Borderlands, a classic old adventure from Basic D&D. Same basic layout of the Chaos Scar valley, even down to the tree. Good times.
