Out of all the scenarios for this arc, I have to agree that Part III was the most lacking. I think it was a good idea, but it does not immerse the characters into the locations like the first two parts. In fact, you really could have kept this on Golarion. I mean, this could have easily taken place in a hidden city still thriving in the broken continent of Azlant, or maybe in Tian Xia. I think this was a great opportunity to explore a never before written about region and really came up empty handed.

Another disappointing aspect was the air chase. It seems like that encounter seemed to following trying to go big, but wasn't fleshed out enough. I think it could make better use of a ground chase scene and use the rules from the GMG to make it work. The Midnight Mauler has a chase encounter that works like a dream, I don't see any reason why something like that could have been employed here.

It was nice to see some familiar faces, from my previous encounters as a Pathfinder. On that aspect it was cool to tie things in. It also looks like those folks have been doing some serious adventuring in all that time.

The combat encounters were challenging, and the bad guys have some particularly devastating ways to demolish PCs. Although, like changing the location would have helped, some of the enemies seem like re-hashings of what PCs previously faced. A new world means you could have thrown in more crazy monsters never faced (like from Bestiary 2).

I definitely enjoyed the scenario in my retirement arc play. Other than some environment issues, it definitely gears you up for your final showdown. The gotcha! moment was awesome, and I enjoy how this scenario leaves off to tie you in to the next one.

I just recently played through a marathon weekend of all four parts of the Eyes of the Ten series with our level 12 characters. To us, this was the weekend module of the four by far. While the module was set in a very interesting and flavorful city (planet?!), the module itself fails at capitalizing on this flavor. To be honest, this scenario could easily have been set in another city on Golarion and it would’ve felt nearly the same.

The adventure and story itself is written relatively well. There is a great “gotcha” moment that confused us as players until we hit the end. The combats and pacing were also deserving of a level 12 arc, however there wasn’t much room for roleplay in this adventure. In the end I think a rework on the development side could shore up many of the issues with this mod and make it just as good as the other three parts of Eyes of the Ten.

I just got to play this at a local con in Connecticut. It was a fun mod of high adventure, very cinematic in scope. Akiton has many overtones of Edgar Rice Burroghs' "John Carter of Mars" series, which was great.

Thanks Josh for the fun ride! Nice job on the penultimate part to the Eyes of the Ten series.
