An almost classical style D&D mod, this adventure brings in combat, puzzle solving and a chase in a hunt for a dangerous artifact. And it's pretty darned fun! The combats themselves have some nice variety to them (I like the use of the archers in the first fight, and the 'wake up' mechanic in the second.) The puzzle is classical, a good old fashioned riddle.

If I had to criticise this adventure, I'd offer two points. The first is that it feels like it's lacking a social play element, and the premise seems to have an obvious point as to where to put it: Rather than a chase sequence as the bonus objective, a role-play/social negotiation with the fear aura hitting one character would have been super fun. A missed opportunity. The second is that the final chase scene's rules feel a little confusing, and I'm not quite sure how it was meant to be run.

Still, I had fun with this. Thumbs up.
