I'm afraid I cannot give this a 5 star because even though the story was good, I'm afraid the scenario was way too hostile towards non-skill monkeys and casters; don't get me wrong I thrive on a challenge and welcome high level play but even seeker level characters don't face what tier 7-8 contains.
In my region, we had 3 tables of this scenario run so far and 2/3 of the tables failed miserably, the 1 table that did succeed was only because we had 2 skill monkeys and 2 optimal combat monkeys all with high save bonus's that luckily made the important saves and crit at the right time. There were moments we almost failed more often than not. I'm afraid high untiered auto damage without some method of some kind of resistance is terrible especially if combat starts right after is NOT fun and causes many players to consider not playing PFS.
I'm very unhappy to post this but since I represent my region I have to convey what my majority of players that did this are concerned about.
I will say the scenario does need a re-edit done for the mechanics involved especially for super high skill checks for the lower tier.
I understand the difficult checks for the 10-11 tier but the tier 7-8 will most often fail and if the GM ran the scenario as it should be with the current mechanics and didn't TPK a majority of players at Tier 7-8 then I'm afraid it was not run as written and liberty's were taken to allow success.
