A short and fun Tier 3 adventure, Ran it with a full table of 7 and while it is combat heavy using the notes on monster actions, we were able to finish in just over 3 hours including running the optional encounter (player turns take a while at Tier 3!) and if you’re not playing the other 2 in the series right away it ends abruptly. DM should be tricky with this, some of the encounters play well if you hold back info and mislead your players a bit (especially the final one, when I described one monster, the gasps of fear and awe were delicious!) So, keep up the ruse as long as you can! The optional encounter was ran, I used it for a little role play (it’s just business my friend) I did only put 4 stars as the end could have been smoother to allow for standalone play.

I ran this for my Sunday Night group at a store. This review will contain spoilers! Over all 4 stars, was fun for the group, the fight at the end was fun and players enjoyed a risk to get more gold for themselves in AL play! Spoilers below.

The betting was a bit confusing, I got lucky and all my players bet on the same 2 dino's, so I just ran two races, did some racing announcer voices, and made an open roll on win or lose.

The race event with the players was well done, I was able to have them describe actions and make good choices, but some bad die rolling on the final leg lead to a 2nd place finish for my players, I loved it! good to see a place where the players can "fail" without ruining the story....

The reason for only 4 stars, the final part, was real confusing on setting up the fight, where is the little girl? where do the undead start? How did she get into danger? and separated from her parents? That caused me a bit too much "hand waving" at the table. The investigation at the end was a bit forced, as the "big bad" was dead.

A great end to the Season 5 Story line! If you have the players, running as a mini epic with 3 tables at once is grand. The lead DM has to do some work, as the rules provided are only bare bones to run as a mulit table game. It can be deadly but hard won battles are the best right?
