Story, interesting romp to the Green Market.

Setting really a market, a custom map for a big market. A big market that wont fit on a flip mat, also there is a flip mat made by paizo of a market.

Role play, average. Telemayne is the star of this scenarios RP.

Combat, the second combat really is Awesome. Very unique, the first was standard kill the goons. I haven't seen the optional ran. Then the Final.

The final encounter, this could of been better on in many aspects.
First of Ethereal problems, problems and more problems, then dismissal as well as Ethereal and insubstantial confound each other talk about a headache. My biggest complaint is the Fire Elemental's, why are they there. How are the eternally loyal. How can Galdron even speak to them. Lastly how did they end up ethereal if it was voluntary why did they stay they are fire elementals that like to burn stuff...

A dramatic approach with telekinesis and the klar's and a ceremony could of been used, or at least Galdron could use Telekinesis to toss Ms. Foxglove around.

Suitability, I wouldn't recommend bring this out of PFS. If you do expect to make a couple changes.

Story 3/5
Setting 2/5
Role-play-ability 3/5
Combat 2/5
Suitability 3/5

Interesting, but not very well paced. Felt like a bottle episode with a random cutaway to cover all the exposition.

Interesting setting, varied encounters, multiple good role-playing opportunities, plot twists – it has everything I look for in a scenario!

Bravo Jim, another excellent scenario.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one. It's a dungeon crawl without the dungeon where your characters are stepped from one fight to the next without much--if anything at all--happening between encounters. The way two encounters are arranged in the story, you wind up with an hour and a half to two hours of straight combat. It's like a dungeon crawl without anywhere to even "crawl" through. Just one arena essentially that you're thrown into to fight.

This scenario had a good story… but it was too deadly.

In my run of this scenario, the players had good system mastery, we had an ideal group composition, the perfect buffs, the perfect consumables, good spell selection, decent tactics, and we still barely made it out alive. Our two spellcasters were dropped into negatives once each. My fighter was 1 hit from death too. I’m not even sure how you’d do this scenario without one class ability in particular, I guess you’d need *great* tactics. My GM ran a few things wrong (doing more damage to us), but it still didn’t make a huge difference.

Optimized "super groups" will like Green Market, since it will validate their play style.

The only reason I’m giving this scenario 4 stars (instead of 3) is because there’s lots of foreshadowing (if you have the right skills), and you’re given time and ability to prepare (if you know what to do and have some system mastery). Also, lots of helpful items are dropped along the way.

I’m not 100% convinced season 4 scenarios are being adjusted properly for 4 players. I know Golemworks didn’t scale well to 4 players in the final encounter. I won’t know for sure about Market until I read it, but it sure didn’t FEEL like it was scaled well, and maybe that was part of the problem. I think that if we had 6 players, it would have been significantly easier (and I wouldn't have felt like this was a killer scenario).

About the Green Market itself. It had a good story, good investigation, and some potentially decent roleplaying moments (the NPCs aren’t that interesting, so it’s up to the players/GM to make it interesting, but the opportunity is there). Each combat encounter was well designed.

I didn't like the faction missions in this scenario. They took up too much time and were basically a number of 1v1 roleplaying encounters that didn't involve the rest of the party, it was a very boring lull in the adventure. Also, most of the missions occurred before anything meaningful happenned, which killed the pacing of the scenario and made the start of the scenario more boring than it should have been.

I’d also like to remind reviewers not to include spoilers in reviews, especially without a spoiler tag.
