I liked the combats, the roleplaying, and I loved the plot overall.
** spoiler omitted **
But I'm not a fan of these set-piece adventures. It feels like they're just taking up space or killing time. This one certainly felt that way. Ship battles are nothing new, any ameuteur DM could create something identical. I kind of felt the same way about the set-piece in #14.
I like to use the set-pieces to personalize the adventure by tweaking it to revolve around some of the PC's backgrounds.
