Hello,
I'm planning to dm the module UK 1 Beyond the Crystal Cave which I own, but reading through the module and doing some research I found out that it is hardly playable.
The biggest problem being the hostile attitude of all creatures in the garden versus the prohibition for the adventurers to harm any of them.
The only way I can imagine how this module in its original state can be played is by sneaking behind everybody and getting to the crystal castle asap.
There seems to be no real interaction or communications between the denizens of the place and the group of adventurers.

So I'm asking: has anybody rewritten/enhanced/reworked or otherwise improved the module to make it more playable, especially in regard of interaction between the denizens and the players?

I'd really be interested in any help to get the story working.
