After running EB-05 I thought nothing in 'OoW' will top that. However, Stacey Allan and EB-07 'Song of the Sky' proved me wrong.
Best module in the campaign so far - and I've ran all of 01-06 and the Epic at least twice each. It has it all - songs, skies, a heist, a chase, a mystery. A lot of memorable combat and social encounters. Three very likeable allied NPCs that are, I assume, meant to be recurring. This one also provides such an extensive overview of all levels of Sharn in one fell swoop that I doubt there's been a published official adventure that's shown so much - and so concisely - before.
The one little gripe I had while prepping and running it are the somewhat bland steeplechase (and actual chase) rules, which are nevertheless easy to modify.
Overall - a great experience and a pinnacle of the campaign to me so far. Yes, that's not what my players originally signed up for (no Mournland, no big bads, no salvage, no weird magic), but it's an extremely entertaining break that will only improve the rest of the campaign - and remain an example of a very well-designed adventure.
