The Good: A very evocative delve into a single location dripping (literally) with flavorful detail, where the players will face some uncomfortable decisions, at least one of which is likely to have ramifications lasting long beyond the end of this adventure. The Bad: The balance seems way off for a novice adventure. For my 1st-level party, even cutting the monsters by more than half led to a near TPK (and I can't see much hope for a non-combat resolution to the scenario as written). Also, the conclusion offers the party a staggering reward of 150 gc -- 30 times the maximum limit recommended for a novice party in the core rulebook! Still, if the GM is prepared to adjust for these issues, the scenario offered is a very interesting and memorable one.

A very impressive adventure for a group of 0-level characters. I cannot say enough good things about the non-linear design of this scenario, with a number of interesting things going on in different places at the same time, leading to a lot of variety in how the adventure might play out depending on the decisions made by the players. GMs are well-served by the "choose your own adventure" style guidance directing them where to turn based on what their players did in any particular scene. Definitely one of the best single-session adventure designs I've come across for any system.
