I played this and then ran it the very next day and I must say I found it to be one of the best scenarios I've ran/played (definitely in my top 10).
I found the first encounter to be the most interesting and like I said in my title, I love encounters where cool heads (no pun intended) prevailing means a successful encounter with more rewards for everyone. I've talked to a few people who complained that the first encounter can be deadly for martial characters who, in an attempt to NOT murder everything in site, could end up dying an untimely/embarrassing death from a simple environmental hazard. However, to be frank, this is a high enough tier that there should be SOMEBODY in the party with the skills/spells/items to overcome the cold/wet (no spoilers, it's called Death on the Ice for crying out loud).
The Inuit themed encounters were great and to be able to see the *redacted* actually *redacted* a player for long enough so that he *redacted* was amazing. While I myself am not Inuit I felt that the culture and lore also seemed to be well researched and presented in a way that was sensitive and well thought out.
The final encounter was difficult to pull off perfectly but fair assuming the party works as a team.
The inclusion of my all time ultimate crush Venture Captain Bjersig Torrsen and the faithful Mahki was just icing on the cake (more scenarios with him pleeeeeeeeease) and the concept/art for Svala Ice-Rider was top notch. Good job whichever one of Mariusz Gandzel, Jesper Ejsing, Benjamin Widdowson drew her. Well, to be honest, good job to all of you. Kuokei looks great and is giving what I can only assume is the Snowy Owl version of intense side eye at these Pathfinder scrubs who are supposed to help her out
Great Job Scott. Keep 'em coming!
