Key/Character: Periwinkle Folhammar
Which Event: The Folhammar
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): Great response time with affordable breathing room that allowed us to soften the mood in-between the darker story beats and the EC fights. I never felt like I had to ask myself when the post would come through because they seemed to enjoy pumping them out.
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): My favorite part of the event. I really enjoyed all the fights, particularly Bjornsson, son of Bjorn. All of them felt very fair but also challenging -- the mechanics felt varied but isolated and unique to each EC. I also really appreciated that as the wins continued, the EC's grew stronger and that many of our choices affected if the EC's grew stronger or weaker as a result.
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?): The narration and storytelling overall exceeded my expectations. Whereas I assumed it would be a straightforward ascent to reclaiming the Folhammar (and technically it was), there were added elements to the event itself that made it feel more dynamic. The addition of comical story beats (and in particular, the Hiker brothers) alternating with darker elements made it feel like I was watching something from BG3 unfold. I never felt like I was bored or unintegral and I am sure other members of the event can attest that everyone had their 'moment'.
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?): Yes. I walked away with a perm from the most difficult EC fight wanting more. Everyone walked away with a devmat useful either to them or in general.
Overall: Thoroughly enjoyed the event through-and-through. Would recommend. 5 stars on Yelp.
