[Sailor Ryu]

Key/Character: Satomi Kuro

Which Event: Beneath the Sands and the Stars

Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): Very quick, save a few brbs but that can be expected when we have an event that lasts (roughly) 8 hours

Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): I'm gonna be honest here. Your encounters were too easy, but it was mostly a case of some scaling issues. You had a party with 2 cosmic magi and a nephilim, that's one of those moments where you can definitely afford to go a little hard.
I'd say you would benefit from a little bit more verb practice overall, but once you got a little bit of advice on the side, you did very well in that second round of the final encounter.

Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?):
This is where Aoria shines tbh. Not only for setting a scene and feeding into the actions of the group, but also taking what's known about the group and using it to help affect the event's progression as a whole. You did very well including my funny business not only as a point of contention for the party, but actively using it as a means of communication between the entities we were dealing with, and the team.

You took an EC who was very manipulative and desperate to tempt people, and by god you did it well. I could hear every little think being thrown around by the group, and doing my own little things to thwart the EC on the side, and honestly? You did super well with it.

Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?):
You have a fun little gimmick with your lootboxes, you gave out good rewards overall, and the little risks we took had consequences. I'd say it was a very fair event, and a lot of the actual conflict of it came from inter-party stuff, which absolutely fit the theme of five schizos go spelunking in the desert (Very spooky)

Overall:
My only true issue with this event was the actual mechanical encounters, but that's something you've shown the capacity to improve on, and are willing to take the advice of those who know what they're talking about. Story wise, you did amazing, but the battles (Especially the first one) felt like they needed a little something more.

Work on your verb skills where you can, I'd be happy to help with that, but overall I'd definitely have you run events for me in the future on sheer storytelling and fluidity alone.
A solid 8/10.

Key/Character: Ludmaz Dawnseeker
Which Event: Beneath the Sands and the Stars
 
Responsiveness: Nothing much to complain on this area. Decent speed for each narration, things were taken in account, that is, of what was being done and needed some response. So, everything is fine.
 
Balance: Here is the greatest flaw as previously pointed. The combat, the mechanical part, requires some touchs. Practice, as it looks rather 'shy', given some, most, of the encounters were quite easy, mostly because of the party composition. At least, you took the advices and improved, that was good to see! And surely you will improve more.
 
Storytelling: This! Is the good part.
 
We had map decorations for immersion. A simple path to follow, while intrigue was created among the players, the IC of the characters included in the provided narrates and in general, a cohesive story until the end. Of an ancient nation, of secrets kept and chaos spread, of the void influence and what became of it all.
  
The temptation and all of that being something always funs to see. Cool stuff here, nothing to complain.


Fairness: I expected more injuries to be honest, yet it was rather shy on this aspect. But might have been given the balance part, the problem with fights. So, can't say much. At least, what I got was used in the IC, one war or another.
 
And, the rewards were quite good. And I enjoyed mine, since it will serve as a great milestone moving forward. So, everything is fine in the end.
 
Overall: A fun event, could use some improving towards the fighting part, but other than that? Had lots of fun. Given the mix of the event story and the crackheads brought along the way. Also, I will return for that chest, it will not avoid me next time.

[akemimera]

Key/Character: Sasha Cron

Which Event: The Dark Below

Responsiveness: Quick, generally on the ball. Can't complain. Very quick to explain questions.

Balance: Shooketh. Nuclear levels of damage for Nuclear levels of healing. the HR monitor on my watch said your cooked bro.

Storytelling: omg, the story telling was fantastic. Felt like playing a dnd campaign, inside of meranthe gaming. And even gave more for future stuff to.

Fairness: in a room full of heavy hitters and fat heals, it was a 50/50 toss up of downs or wins. Much like thanos, perfectly balanced.

Overall: Great follow up to the first expedition, and very neat lore and dev items. Looking forward to seeing where this post event results leads.

Key/Character: Basil Mooney

Which Event: The Dark Below

Responsiveness: Aoria did an amazing job with being timely and coordinated with our group. Responses always came within a decent time frame and we weren't left waiting! I felt engaged the whole way through!

Balance: given the requested difficulty was COD/HCOD, the balancing and difficulty perfectly reflected what was asked.

Storytelling: The storytelling was amazing and breath of fresh air! I love the way that the DM handled the event, and the amount of freedom we had to explore and solve puzzles was great!

Fairness: Balancing was perfect! I have no complaints in the slightest!

Overall: Amazing job! I was genuinely engaged and immersed throughout the event.

[Velkor]

Key/Character: Lokhos Silver
Which Event: The Dark Below

Responsiveness: As always did amazing. Talked to us during the event and made sure everyone was on the same page at all times.

Balance: Balance was awesome. Made us panic a bit and got our hearts racing loved it.

Storytelling: I love the freedom that comes for their events. The ability to walk around and explore the map they have lay out for us. Adds a lot.

Fairness: Was perfect loved the rewards and the fights all felt fair and if we went down it was because we messed up.

Overall: Very fun and enjoyable. Was peaceful and interactive at times then when a fight starts get the heart pumping loved it.

[Rued]

Key/Character: 
Rued Silvanas

Which Event:
The Dark Below

[Responsiveness]
There was a bit technical difficulities on my side through out the event but in the interactions and responsiveness of this event was great. Explanations never take took long and every player action find a proper conclusion in truth. 

[Balance]
I think balance between battles and the puzzles were great since the character interactions matter a lot. So, I think it was practicaly perfect. Spesificly for a event between the ranges of COD/HCOD.

[Storytelling]
I geniuenly enjoyed the open world aspect of this event I think it provide some form of freedom us but also freedom to adjust things to Aoria herself as well. I geniuenly enjoyed how things explained and even the story provided by some of the items on the event. Though I was expecting to become best friend with that king statue I will never forget that.

[Fairness]

I think fairness of this event was right on the point. Each punishment was result of our own doing and even battles were practicaly the same. I think, rewards and punishments as result pretty much balanced and very fair as result.

[Overall]
Despite the technical difficulties on my side, I think this event overall was quite fun and enjoyable. If you are looking for a DM to host your event or in general provide you with story that would create a good line of progression for your character. I think, she is the right choice. Keep up the good work bud.
