This is one of the best mods in the AL canon.

It has:

• The party has an unusual motivation -- to clear themselves of a murder charge.
• The clue tree for the DM is excellent.
• The mod rewards/unlocks a magic item in high demand
• The mod is non-linear for the players, but straightforward for a DM to run.
• There's more than just combat. Creative players can easily "solve" situations that combat-prone groups will bog down in.
• The final combat has an interesting mechanic.
• There is definitely some strategy to the final combat.
• The players really have to work to unlock the premium magic item.

All-in-all, the mod provides great satisfaction to the group who plays it. Well recommended.

I ran this at my LGS as a last-minute table picking up random players, and I had about 15 minutes ahead of time to read the mod. I picked it as an interesting mod that no one had played or DMed. #AdventurersLeague #AdventureCalls

REPEAT: This review is from the perspective of an unprepared DM running the mod while reading it for the first time.

The Good

• Story was interesting enough for a 2-hour mod. Decently written.
• For someone who was ransacking the mod to stay 5 minutes ahead of the players, the mod was well organized. I could skim the most important points quickly, let the table start deciding what to do next, and then fill in the details.

The Not-so-Good

• The first fight did not scale down to weak well. My party was "weak", with four adventurers level 1, 3, 3, and 4. The 5x chitines looked like they were heading toward an undeserved TPK when two of them decided they wanted to abduct the party's unconscious cleric. 15 attacks per round (5 NPCs with multiattack) is a bit much unless the party is mix-maxed. This is the major reason I'm giving only 3 stars.
• Quite possibly due to skimming the mod, I didn't figure out why there were dead grung in the grung village. Killed by chitine, maybe? Most mods set the scene for the adventure, but few provide a short summary of the adventure's story arc -- those are incredibly helpful when present.

DO NOT BUY THIS! When you view the sheet, it looks fantastic, but for some reason, when you try to print it, it prints a photocopy of a sheet that's been completely filled in by hand (and not even quite the same form), making this COMPLETELY USELESS.
