I particularly liked the elements of the tragic hero giant being petrified and the quest to mend the giant's heart. It feels like a very heroic thing to do, and the syndicate makes the perfect villain. Having a guild as an enemy makes the adventure harder, but from what you've described, it isn't too hard to resolve. Just not the sort of adventure for hack and slay gatherings.😄
Agreed, but remember, I know all the secrets when I walk through the adventure. While I haven’t had the opportunity to run this one yet, it should be difficult for the players to not get caught and cause a huge fight which could make success way more challenging
The premise you gave at the beginning sounded alot like Temple of Doom (y'know, Indianna Jones?)... And the Shard... oh-boy! That looked like a Dragonshard from Eberron (like a dark Khyber...or maybe a dark Blood Glass [obsidian glass with khyber dragonshard veins] crystal)... I feel like this could work great as an Eberron adventure into Xen'drik; and the contract comes from the Wayfinder's Guild. ...otherwise... I think I'd just run this similar to Temple of Doom, it kinda hits alot of the marks, just change up a few points! LOL

Thank you for making this video. I'm going to be running this for my player soon. And you have wonderful timing. Great work!

Honestly I never thought about it that way, but now that you mention it…
Its one of those... "Now that I see it, I cant UN-see it!" moments! LOL
Cool
I’m here to support you since I do not support WotC or their work anymore.
I truly appreciate it!
