I saw the image and my mind immediatley flashed back to my AD&D Players Handbook and the Idol of Moloch. While prepping this adventure, I thought I would take the time to share with you my thoughts. The Background is fairly straight (no spoilers). The Adventure Hooks shoudl be easy to employ. No Call to Action? Odd. You might consider lowering the DC 20 Checks that are prevalent throughout the adventure. Consider taking a fine eye to Pillars of Play sidebars that have pertinent information, but it seems misplaced (in different pillars. Tactics are in Exploration Pillar, Social aspects are in Combat Pillar, etc). Its not well explained why a DC 20 Perception Check is required to notice two gargantuan rocs swirling about the area you are travelling through. This check also reveals "the max amount of gold for their level in the adventure", but then at the end offers more gold. An oversight easily remedied by adhering to AL guidance on award of gold.

A spell and trap-laden temple will challenge players-make sure you are aware of the spell references in Part Two. Sidebars presented are helpful to understanding how the spells can be employed in different ways. Be aware of their effects on player characters and spawn, familiars, beast companions, etc. The temple offers plenty of challenge in the form of an unique (deadly), spell-trap-environmental combos. I said this TWICE because I think that this is the adventure's best feature! Please make sure you have the stat block for an Azer handy. The Bonus Objectives are not necesary to the plot; however, I don't know too many T3 players that aren't going to want to challenge the "partiers" or the "platform patrolers" that these designers present. Make sure to adjust timing to include these challenging encounters!

There is a check that reveals info that comes from MToF's. Be prepared to provide it or find out that info PRIOR to your game. The BBEG and minions do have names in the Dramatis Personae. I'm used to seeing this first thing in the Background. No Wrap Up. The adventure offers no closure for DMs running this as one-shot. It mentions an Epilogue ..but no Epilogue. Read this one thoroughly. My three-star rating is mostly due to scattered organization of the adventure; however, the content provided does have the makings of a challenging adventure. I know my players will enjoy it. I wish the designers continued success in their future efforts!
