This a silly and fun module for tier 1 players. It was the first AL module I ever played and I like to run it for new players as well.

I am somewhere in the middle on this adventure. There were quite a few grammar issues with it. Rather than focus on them, I'll move past them and provide my thoughts on the content. I enjoyed that cover image so much that I asked the designers for the artist's contact information. It definitely draws you to this module!

I like the backdrop of Hillsfar for this module. The plot was an enjoyable read. The adventure hooks were encompassing. You can hook a broad base of characters with them. Going around the city and collecting supplies for a tier one party can be challenging, but it doesn't seem that the challenges revolve around the NPCs you interact with. They are just limited to getting the item from them or giving an item to them, which seems odd since the module appears to have a social interaction as its main plot point. You are provided an extra combat encounter to add to the adventure if your players are craving more.

I liked that the issue of in-game timing was addressed, but I did not see how the mechanic played into the module. There appeared to be no explanation that I could see as to what happens if timing deadlines aren't met (Party over? Players ruin the event? What?). It seems to be assumed that the party gets to Part Three of the adventure. However, I really enjoyed the Alliance Bank scene! It reminded me of many times when I was dealing with similar situations in real life! I laughed just reading it. I enjoyed the main character Bert, but I was wondering why there was no opportunity to play pranks on people (something this NPC enjoys!; his arch nemesis is at the party as well! Why not? :) ). There were alot of NPCs. This can be challenging to a DM that wants to capture their unique qualities with RP or narrative and give the players agency.

My overall rating was based on the fact that while enjoyable, this adventure needed some editing and the plot was not an overly exciting one, but one worth having in the collection for the opportunity to play in Hillsfar (Post-The Great Law of Humanity) and also to interact with a major character in the Hillsfar story! (I won't spoil it!)
