This was the worst PFS scenario I've ever played or run. From a GM's perspective there was way too much going on for way too little pay off for the players. The cuteness with variants on jacks just annoyed me and my table. I must have had to stop and back track at least a half dozen times till every one was satisfied they had that straight.
This might have worked as a multi part adventure where the party had some time to get to know the NPC's in town but it simply does not work as a 4 hour adventure. I appreciate the ambition but the author(s) clearly lost sight of the fact that someone would have to try and run this in a 4 hour slot.
