I had a BLAST with this adventure, and yes, that is a pun, even if it's only particularly identifiable to the people I played with. It's just the right mix of linear and freeform, roleplaying and combat. Highly recommended!
I love running scenarios with kobolds. They are as much fun as goblins, yet their expertise with traps makes them more respectable. Not much, but somewhat. If your players don't have a stronger sense of respect for these little guys by the end of this adventure, you missed something.
Spoiler:
First of all, you have an opportunity to meet with one of the kobolds in a theater of all places. This shows that the diminutive reptiles are smart and can occasionally have an appreciation for the finer things in life. I don't think this aspect has been fully explored in printed form before this scenario.
Then we encounter the Sewer Dragons' trap-making skills with the boulder trap, which squished one of my players. I had the final kobold scout in that encounter bait the Player-Characters into following him down a cute only to come nose-to-tentacle with two Otyughs. The last scout harrassed them with arrows while the group fought for their lives.
The meeting with Yippitok almost killed one of the PCs. Alchemists can be deadly.
My favorite encounter was the finale with Chief Kibizax. Instead of having the dragon as an illusion, I made it a living, blue wyrmling. I added a background storyline in which there's an adult blue dragon controlling part of the criminal trade in Absalom and the blue wyrmling that acts as the Sewer Dragons' mascot is one of her children. The wyrmling was a gift to Kibizax to cement her business dealings with the kobold tribe. This was just my little spin on the overall plot and it didn't change the events of the conclusion as still Yiddlepode agreed to work with the Pathfinder PCs once her father was dead.
The players easily dispatched the wyrmling, so its inclusion didn't unbalance the encounter.
Kudos to Dennis Baker for making such a cool scenario. I look forward to more adventures by him!
I love this mod. The kobolds in it are properly sneaky, there's some nice roleplaying, and the fights should have you respecting the nippy little buggers. Some have said it falls down at the higher Tier, but I can't comment on that. At Tier 3-4, it's great!
