I know there's a fey portal at the bottom, but those monsters just didn't seem to .. fit. The satyr, though, seems to fit. That first encounter, with three soldiers? Ouch. There's also very little in the way of giving PCs clues to where to go - unless they Skill Challenge it out of a captive. Which side of the Dune is the leeway, and which is the Wind side? Also, 'it's difficult terrain, but if you succeed in a skill check, moving is normal'; it becomes normal terrain if you succeed in the check, or remains difficult terrain? You give a PC an automatic arcana check for the corralaxes, right? I doubt a PC would instinctively check the threat of birds sitting in the tree.The lovers nest is indeed a great encounter. The only problem I find with it is that if the PCs don't attack Taalah, then a lot of things don't happen (Saqr doesn't get to use some of his powers, the Quickling and Taalah stay out of the fight). Because I doubt most PCs would attack a naked and defenseless woman, the above outcome is likely. At which point the encounter (aside from the situation) isn't that interesting; Saqr by himself, without his cool Taalah protecting powers, is rather boring.Really like Hazar's stats. However, her tactics are BRUTAL. It will be a pain in the butt given her flight to hurt her for any non-ranged PCs. Also fighting her in the nest is very bad, given that the party is going to get a sentinel patrol up in their face.06: What are the red lines on the map for?I agree with Merric's observation on his blog that this is difficuilt and curious, as it makes a great use for a campaign. Wiggling it in earlier, with Voor. Emrett makes a great villain purely by her personality and actions in combat, so it's sad that the PCs only encounter her once. And as Merric points out, given that it's a desertadventure with an arabic feel, you gott ado some work to make it "work" in your setting. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />However, this adventure is great. Especially teh arabian feel of it. A lot of work was put in and it's got several gems.</blockquote>
