Even though I cut basically all of them out, it provided me with a sense of Seaquen that really helped me flesh it out for the players. Similarly, running downtime, though it also started to drag, was great for players to stretch their legs out a bit. I really enjoy how languid the module feels, taking place over the course of several weeks, ending in this mad dash of ambush and dungeon delving. Best combat for me was by far the witches H'andrea.The lowlights for me are fairly minor. Even though it’s possible my opinion was soured by how long the entire module was taking, I still think the final conflict with Lee is anticlimactic. The fight itself, I’m willing to say could have turned out any way, but I still can’t get over the weirdness of finishing a dungeon, and the boss waiting back up at the beginning again. I think if I were to redo it, I would add a chamber beyond the cages where Lee and Lula were in some sort of grotto, with the orb on top of a pedestal or something. Set up an interesting room, some sign of the outside world so they can see the storm, and then run everything mostly the same.I really enjoyed this module, even if I felt like I complained about it more than the others. Really, the biggest problem with it for me is how long it was. I can’t remember where, but I think [USER=6776887]@Tormyr[/USER]  said they ran their campaign at about 8ish sessions per module? I was roughly on track for that with both the first two, and then this module was a whopping 20 sessions. Add in Christmas break and the winter COVID spike on top of the normal scheduling issues that crop up, I was kind of sick of the module by the end. Not a fault of the module, but still, glad to see it in the rear view. Because of that, as we look onto Banquet, I'm thinking of how I can trim things down so that we finish this campaign before the next presidential term.</blockquote>
