The Adventure is fun if you like just challanging fights but:

1. Could be much more lore in here. In the tunnels there are so great opportunities for it. The Dm gets it but the players have no way to discover the Lore.
2. The balancing is extremely deadly for weak (6 lvl 5 Chars). Had to adjust much more to not get TPKs in all 3 runs i had. Also here it would be great to lower damage amopunt instead just number of enemies. Third encounter enemies just doesn't make any sense here if you look at the Lore of that Creatures.

Disclaimer: I am keeping this party strictly Moonshaes and AL legal. So after playing MOON 1-1, and the MOON 2- series, they are all at level 5 before starting this adventure.

The first Tier 2 Moonshaes adventure send our adventurers to meet an old friend (if you played Moon 1-1). Be prepared for a nice 4 hour dungeon crawl. After learning what is required of them, the adventurers head off on a rescue mission.

• Just a note: Aliens (1986) and Predator (1987) started out as rescue missions.

Designed for 5 8th Level Characters, my group of 4 5th Level Characters were seriously challenged even at very weak. After surviving the first encounter, they used their brains for the second encounter, before getting creamed on the third encounter. Every character went down at least twice, if not more. They lived, but barely. The dice were not friendly to the players that night. The 4th encounter went down super quickly. Even though they were nearly out of spells, rages, potions, and hit points, they did persevere to victory.

One player felt the third encounter was too deadly, but the others enjoyed the challenge of using their heads to survive.

Overall, a fun adventure to run, with a blend of puzzles and combat. The party enjoyed the tie-ins to earlier adventures, and are looking forward to the next module in the trilogy.

Pros: Fun to play Straight forward objective Great story tie in

Cons: Could easily lead to a TPK depending on party mix DM Fiat may be needed to help a low level party survive. It would have been nice to have an easier rating adventure available to ease the players into Tier 2.
