Product Description:
Evil lurks in the forest
What terror stalks the villagers of Ossington? Who is the ghostly horseman haunting the road, stopping anyone from leaving? Why are the wild elves slaying villagers from afar with their deadly stone-tipped arrows? What lies buried in the old Great Barrow, and why is it stirring anew? What secret do the ancient standing stones surrounding the village hold, and can the heroes solve the mystery before a foul plot comes to fruition?
The Standing Stone is fourth in a series of stand-alone Dungeons & Dragons adventures for 7th-level D&D heroes. It presents a mystery for heroes to solve if they wish to save an isolated village from the dangers that threaten to overwhelm it.
To use this adventure, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual.

A month after beginning the module, my group is still talking about it. My friends have stated that the mystery and role playing aspects in this module led to intense discussions regarding moral choices and decisions.
Unlike a dungeon crawl, this module is a bit more openended after the party eventually arrives to the village, and as the DM, it provided me with some opportunities to spur thought about exactly what the group was really accomplishing. Since my group never follows the delineated path anyhow, and muck around with things unforeseen by module creators, this was the type of storyline that allowed them to excel at their craft.

Overall I found this adventure interesting. The plot is good, couple this with some twists and turns and it can really keep players going in circles and second guessing themselves.
One of the other reviewers has some good points regarding one of the plot points and the elves. Although the elves actions are understandable within the story given, running them along those lines could cause the PC's to never quite figure out what is really going on.
I question the level rating of this adventure. It is rated for a group of 4 7th level characters. There are 2 encounters that are extremely difficult if run as the adventure describes (one EL 12, another EL 13). My group of 6 10th level PC's had a hard time with the final battle. There was over 100 HP damage done to the mage and the party was almost out of spells. Nearly all the PC's had significant damage. If it wasn't for a counter spell, and a very lucky attack roll much of the party would have died. I'm not so sure a 7th level party would have survived this encounter.
Like I said above, overall I found this adventure fun to run, and most importantly the players had a good time. If you are looking to add some role playing to your game, this adventure provides ample opportunities.

This adventure is a great one.Very good elements of surprise and mystery.My gaming group normally gets sidetracked with jokes and stuff like that.With this one they didn't at all.I love how they split it into scenes.It allows alot of thinking and hack and slash isn't as fun.For any DM who likes having fun adventures, (everyone) buy this.

I ran this adventure as a DM. Its usable, but pretty poorly written. It contains some good storylines, but they aren't developed well. It leaves a lot of work for the DM if you want this module to be worthwhile.

A usable module, but mediocre at best. Thin plot. Not a whole lot to it.
