The second module created specifically for the Companion set of D&D, CM2 sports a great cover by Jeff Easley who also gives us some great interior art. As is the case for all Companion rules modules this is for pretty high level characters, between levels 15 to 20 and is, therefore, set in the high level area of Norwold.

In CM1 players would have moved to Norwold in search of new lands to conquer and create their strongholds and now, established there, CM2 happens. Somewhere in Norwold a portal opens and pretty horrible stuff is pouring out of it.

The module requires the characters to find a way to seal the portal and save the world, in the meanwhile they will have to fight pretty powerful monsters, from high level wizards to an adult Blue Dragon. They also get to use the new Companion rules for fighting full scale battles against the army of undead coming out of the portal. Fun stuff.
