And it was the worst disaster I'd ever experienced as a DM when I actually ran it. Not because the module itself was in any way at fault, but simply because it was the most shockingly poor, brain-dead, pathetic gameplay I've ever seen from players who had no reason whatever to suddenly be so stupid. They ignored all the information they actually gathered in the village and promptly stepped into the lions jaws, brushed his fangs and sharpened his claws for him, and then asked him to tuck them in with a bedtime story.  It was a TPK from the word go - or at least would have been if I'd actually felt like telling them all to just roll up new characters and we'd start a new campaign. I was SO disappointed I was speechless.  I wish now I'd had the rocks to actually have wasted them all and not batted an eyelash.  If only I were actually an EVIL DM... I've never run it again - but I believe I still have it on my shelf because in the back of my mind I still want to try it again and see how really great I know it must be.</blockquote>
