Great module

Tons of fun!

Yes

An absolute blast. Easily modified. Super creative.

Great Adventure, simple to run

The layout of the documents give enough information in just a glance in order to say exactly what is needed to say, and still gives the DM/GM plenty of freedom to interpret and convey that information however they want to.
The enemies are all structured in an easy-to-understand way where you can easily refer to the PHB/DMG/etc in order to find their stat blocks, and for the custom made stat blocks, well, they're all written in the document.
The adventure suggests 4-5 players, but when I ran it with 4 players, they struggled and even got TPK:d by the final fight. Of course there may be different reasons, but it felt like it could have been either the book/me conveying the arena in a good way so that the players understand what's important, or that there are simply too many monsters. I think it's a mix of both, as I did see the enemies really had the upper hand on action economy.

The only things that can be improved upon for my preferences are:
* Include monster art tokens for VTTs
* Adjust the encounter balance. Maybe suggest what can be added/removed for harder or easier fights.

Creative, challenging and fun!

A creative, challenging and fun adventure!

Very well written and easy to run

I enjoyed the format a lot and had no problems running it, thanks to the many helpful hints through out the module.
The combat seemed pretty tough for a level 4 group and I thought that progressing to the final part was hard to justify for my group since it involves putting themselves into a very disadvantageous position.
Otherwise a was very happy and will definitely try more of the one shots in the future!
