Dark Mistress
First Post
This product is 54 pages long. Cover, credits, ToC, and introduction with adventure background, summery and hooks take up (7 pages)
Chapter 1 – Black Gates of Tsar (8 pages)
This section deals with all the other gates into the city beyond the main gate. There is 5 encounter locations, 2 of them are mini dungeon style encounters.
Chapter 2 – Kirash Durgaut (25 pages)
This section deals with the main fortress gate into the city. There is 38 location encounters it all take place within or on the main fortress gate.
Monster/Magic Item Appendix (3 pages)
There is 2 new monsters and 1 new magic item.
It ends with 1 page of OGL and 10 pages of maps. Including one map of the over all city. Each map is full page, brownish in color like old parchment and a grid map.
Closing thoughts. This is much like the previous adventures in the series. It is very sandbox and there is low CR encounters near high CR encounters. Some of them might be very easy or very hard depending on the order they are hit in. Though in this one it is less of a problem as the main area is the fortress, which is more like a typical dungeon. The encounters range from normal ones to several clever and or amusing ones. Several of them could be very challenging to deadly if played smart and the PC's aren’t careful. The production values have steadily gotten better. The art is fair to good. I am giving this one a 4.5 star review. Another thing I would like to add the bulk of the adventure the fortress gate could very easily be adapted to be a stand alone dungeon making this one more valuable to those not looking to run the whole series.
