It’s interesting to come into the middle of the contest and kind of learn as I go. This is one of two lairs for the same villain, and it’s both similar and different in interesting ways.
The map is really cool. Area C2 is a great place for a really fun, climactic encounter with the moving bridge.
There are a lot of nice little details throughout. I like the peephole in area P3, for example. The animated sword chandelier is cool (although likely little challenge for the PCs involved in this, I’m guessing).
There’s not going to be a lot for a wizard to do in many of these encounters, and the rogue has no one to sneak attack. Just something to keep in mind when putting together something like this—everyone should have something to do. It would be cool, for example, to have more devices for a rogue to disable among the strange constructs.
I would worry that some of the encounters here will be so easy for the PCs (like the soulbound dolls) that it’s kind of a waste of time to have to deal with them.
