quartex wrote:(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on?
Easy, 1.1.2+svn
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
4.
(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Very clear.
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Very clear; rather dull by comparison with the high standard set elsewhere in the campaign.
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
None in particular.
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
5.
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
The map could be more interesting. Perhaps there could be a tunnel leading to the hexagonal chamber, with an encounter or two with monsters.
(8) How much gold did you have at the start of the scenario?
1800

( 1 ) 112a Challenging
( 2 ) 5.
( 3 ) Very clear.
( 4 ) Very well done.
( 5 ) Nothing, really - I sort of won by attacking things at random. Kaleh was on 15hp at the end, so maybe I was a bit lucky.
( 6 ) 7. A very interesting way to end the campaign, and nice and dramatic.
( 7 ) If you could make it somewhat longer without messing it up, I think it would be even better. I don't have a concrete way to do this, though.
( 8 ) Irrelevant.

I agree with this; it also seems like it would be rather better for the storyline. This doesn't make sense:
- Yanqui kills countless Elves with his powers.
- Yechnagoth defeats Yanqui.
- Yechnagoth is defeated by five Elves, maybe a Mermaid, and a Troll or a Dwarf.

In heroic fantasy the most powerful creatures can often be defeated by just a few adventurers. It's supposed to be heroic, not realistic. Where did you get the idea that Yechnagoth killed Yanqui? I stated that Eloh defeated Yanqui ages ago.

The desert elves god. She is a major figure in the campaign.

She might exist, but she doesn't appear in the campaign.

There's no evidence in the campaign that she exists; in fact, from some point of view, there is extensive evidence in the campaign that she does not.

Which is a long-winded way of saying she might exist.

And, there is zero evidence either way. Since it is more convenient to do so than to drag the feedback thread into a useless debate: OFWRA, especially if turin gets involved.

Or maybe it was another group of five heroes that killed Yanqui ... hence the legend of Eloh 8)

Ironic isn't it :P

I think the entity known as Redsox slew Yanqui. Quartex wouldn't own up to it, though (he's from Boston, you know).
