[Ken · Rating 3 out of 5]

This adventure works pretty well for a 4 hour convention slot, and the Temple encounter with the Corruptor is a blast. However, there are too many goblin encounters beforehand; it could use some environmental challenges mixed in like rickety rope bridges or sinkholes to navigate around. It would be nice to build up the mystery a bit more in the opening sequence, though I'm not sure how. As it is, I mainly read a lot of text to the players. I was looking for a very Call of Cthulhu-esque D&D adventure, and this one fits the bill, but a little bit more detective work before heading to the abbey would be nice. Also, could use a wilderness map.
