Spoiler ALERT !
Overall, well done. The plot is logical and has no holes in it. The villains are smart enough to avoid exposing themselves carelessly (Constantus takes pains to avoid being exposed by Psychometry). I like the fact the game flow is couched in terms of "if the players survive" as opposed to "when the players defeat the foes".
I did have a few questions:
Urestes - killed by a poison arrow, the characters might examine the arrow in which case a DC (Heal ?) should be present to discover the poison. It is also possible that Urestes might not die if a player shovels a Golden Wine of Xuthal down his throat immediately (unlikely, but possible). What would Urestes do then ?
Essenic - Essenic's stats indicate he is armed with a greatsword (in the attacks section), but his equipment and feats indicate he should be using a broadsword. Which is it ? Essenic also doesnt have Poison Use feat which makes his use of the poison arrow risky. If the players use Mind Reading on Essenic, they could gain clues very quickly possibly enough to identify Constantus in Meeting in the Twilight, in which case they might try to wack him on sight.
Constantus: What is his corruption level ?
Lord Nadanidus: What is his corruption level ? He is listed as having an ahkbitanian broadsword [AP5] which should be [AP8] after all modifiers. He has only 4 feats listed, but should have 7 from his level and race. His move is listed a 30', but should be 25' in his brestplate. Considering Nadanius is hiding his true nature from Constantus, would he reveal his scholarly abilities in front of Constantus unless his life was in mortal danger ?
Taspius: He is listed as having an ahkbitanian arming sword [AP4] which should be [AP8] after all modifiers. Considering his ranged weapon feats, he ought to have a ranged weapon on hand.
The Serpents Lair: A map scale would of been nice. The door from room 12 to 13 is listed as a secret door in the text, but a regular door on the map. Which is correct ?
For room 7, the text on page 27 says there are 10 members of the Brotherhood, not including Constantus. However, there are 11 prieists not including Constantus, listed in the roster on page 28. Furthermore, Barthias is a member of the Brotherhood, although not present in the Serpents Lair. Was the Brotherhood membership 10 members + Constantus, or just 10 members + Constantus present in the Serpents Lair ? In either case the numbers of priests in room 7 need to be adjusted if the text on page 27 is correct.
It would appear the fight in the lair will be extremely tough considering the numbers of foes with many of them capable of DB. I would be interested to hear how groups fare.
Overall, well worth the money. I look forward to running it.
