Excellent mystery and great adventure, ending with a green dragon is superb!

We loved this adventure, with the Drusilla fight sparking fear into my players and the mystery of the children's affliction giving them a satisfying Aha! moment. The mod was easy to run and understand; Drusilla combat tips were especially useful. One part I could've used more guidance on was how to conduct chasing kids when they escape.

Narratively the mod comes to a natural conclusion after Victoria, however she turned out to be an easy fight given the PCs successfully kept nearly all the kids restrained and the werewolves could only brute force high AC. Thankfully this mod has a great suggestion of having the party be lead to a green dragon, so I set up a young one trying to trick the party into a cave full of treasure, then blasting them with poison breath from the protection of the tree canopy. PCs dimension door'd up to grapple it to the ground and it made for a climactic finish to a great adventure!

Fine adventure, but too easy

The first part with the hag was really good and interesting. However, the travel section felt a bit flat (without a real payoff), and the final fight was simply too easy and not very interesting mechanically.
If you are going to run it I suggest making Victoria stronger

Fun evening

Nice maps and a fun double scenario for a one-shot. Players used the town well in a clever and unexpected way!

Great adventure!

Ran this as part of an existing campaign because I ran out of prep time. I ran the hag and getting the kids back to town (brewery was closing). My favorite part was watching all of the PCs have to deal with the kids on the way back. Quote of the night came when a bard cast a heavy duty sleep on the sprogs (66 hp of sleep) and only 2 fell to the spell, “no normal child has 33 hp!”

Fantastic

Great one-shot and easy to integrate into my existing campaign.I bought this one-shot as I ran out of time prepping for a session, bought this afternoon before the game and watched the short YouTube video, very easy to get a grasp on the concept.

I really liked the break-down of what creatures do in combat and how they prioritize targets and the small section to describe the NPCs, both are ideas that I plan on incorporating in my own prep.
The NPCs were likeable and the NPC generator table was fantastic! One of my players started making plans on create a character inspired by Terry Zigs and Icky!
