I recently ran this twice (once at each tier) at a local con.
If you are a player who likes combats and rolling dice (rather then roleplay), then this is the scenario for you.
overall: +2
There is a nice foundation established for a good story, but it quickly becomes a boring dungeon crawl. There is very little roleplay possibilities and the combats are what you would expect when to parade the Korvosan sewers. If you are going to be parading through the sewers give it more flavor, then just parading through the sewers, killing the things that live there.
I am surprised this has had so many good reviews. The beginning and end are pretty good. I have issues with everything in between. There isn't even box text. You just move from map to map to map killing undead. That's it. I enjoyed the story. It just felt like it is the first draft.
I have now GMd this three times now. I like the idea behind the story.
The combats are not difficult by any means. The first fight is a joke. It would be easy anyways, but you also have NPCs fighting as well. The last fight is the only one that last more then two rounds and that is because of obscurring mists. I could look over the poor combats if there was some opportunities for good roleplaying, but those lack as well.
I have played and GMd it twice now. Will be running again this upcoming weekend at a con.
I love the theme of the temple. The ranger/rogues were typically cake walks, but compared to the guardians and Aglorn they needed to be. The description of the false gate is a bit hard to understand. I made a model with turing wheels to help make it easier for my players to understand. The last fight is awesome. All my players are just shocked when I pull out this huge map with swinging rope bridges they have to cross to make it to the gate.
So, in between an awesome backstory, great diety themed temple, and an epic bbeg fight, I can happily say this is my favorite scenario. Nudging out Rebel's Ransom. Please keep up the good work.
