I loved this all the way. It features a hand drawn and completely planned out map, featuring a vertical battle map and you can tell it has been playtested. For any of you seeking a little more story, that is easy to grasp and fun to deliver to you players - give this a try. It has optional character interaction to personalize it for your group and is gritty enough to let PCs struggle with what is going on at any moment. The villian clock works, the NPCs are life-like and still easy to roleplay. This even features its own mechanic, working against the PCs in the background.
It can be played in almost any D20 Fantasy setting (Dark Sun should have it play out at the Silt Sea).
Fights were challenging and felt dynamic, putting some more fun in the normally rather dull second level combat.
If you want to stray from the normal path (we all know how groups get off track), there are details and functions for many elements of the story.
All in all, I give it a 10/10
