I ran this module for our group and we had fun. The party were not into much sneaking around. They were more into confrontational interaction. However, the intrigue was there regardless. The party that finished this was without a Cleric, but didn't really need one. The recognition signal was well thought out and very inobtrusively placed. I highly recommend this module and the sequel to it. Both are outstanding variations from the typical "Hack-and-slash" modules. Well done Mr. Greer.

Perhaps my favorite Pathfinder module so far. Lots of emphasis on social interaction, investigation and sneaking around, which is a very welcome change from the combatfests most modules tend to be. Don't get me wrong, a good combat can be fun... but it can get old, too. This one looks like a great, open-ended sandbox to drop players into and see what they do. I also liked the fact that the players have a mission which relates to local politics, instead of the tired old "save the world from ancient evil" thing or some such.

Good stuff.

I really enjoyed reading this adventure, especially since the party has a goal to help save the republic of Andoran from the machinations of the baron and the Cheliaxians. Good party motivation!

I LOVED all the information given for the town and the different people who live there. There are many opportunities that can either help or hinder the party while on their quest like discovering Andoran agents, avoiding the barony spies, dodging patrols, finding the secret tunnel, dealing with the deadly alchemist, all good stuff.

The adversaries in the castle are varied and interesting, ranging from the baron's spies and conventional soldiers to the "gifts" from Cheliax. The Crepitus rocks!

My only gripes are some of the weak artwork and I wish there were more post-adventure details like in Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale. Perhaps Chimera Cove will cover this but I wish to see what else happens around the new Piren's Bluff.

Outside of Crucible of Chaos, I found this to be the module in recent times. It is very open ended with a lot of room for flexibility. The adventure is also quite sensible and does not drag at all- so much of what happens depends on PC interactions and choices. Excellent effort; awesome cover art too!
