Key/Character: Lucinda Meztin
Which Event: Reprisal & Publication of Secrets
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): The responses on this event were quick and descriptive, giving all the players attending the event at attention. If there were any questions about anything IC, they were promptly answered with LOOC as well. DM was very patient and happy to explain rules, regulations, and listen to any concerns promptly and effectively. All the while keeping the tone light, positive, and an overall exciting environment to be in! 10/10
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): Each fight was very well balanced, as well as very challenging. It's nice to have a DM that is able to utilize actual skill sets when it comes to the abilities used during an event, rather than most DMs who spam massive aoes! There were skill shots, powerful ones that kept you on your toes if you got too close to your enemy! All in all, I enjoyed the realistic immersive battles. The imagery was also very impressive, I want the boss sprite that was used! Ahh!
As for the obstacles and traps, they were pretty average. A lot of chance/injuries were based off of rolls - which is my only complaint. There was a part in the event where a horde of wasps blocked the travelers path, and we had to find a way to get passed them. Lucinda suggested she distract the wasps, and even used an invisibility potion to be able to thereafter run away from the distracted wasps safely. Even with the invisibility potion used, as well as the creativeness of the diversion - because I rolled a 1, I fell into a mud pit and therefore was no longer invisible to the wasps. I was given a temp injury, which is all fine and dandy this wasn't my problem. My problem was that my group attempted to save me by rolling, and I was made to roll AGAIN while stuck in the mud pit - resulting in another shitty roll therefore causing me to be injured a SECOND time in the SAME INSTANCE. I was already punished for a mistake in judgement, being punished a second time seemed a little excessive. (luckily I had a healing elixir with me because within the first hour of the event I had three temps!)
Other than this issue, the rest of the injuries and battles were very well deserved. 8/10
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?): The story was one filled with adventure, surprises, and it held the need for critical thinking. It was fun to see the different ideas everyone came up with to kind of evolve the story around them, and there was plenty of wiggle room for the attendees to make their own decisions - resulting in different outcomes. It's always fun to go on an adventure you feel you have a hand in creating. Good job! 10/10
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?): I uh, think I already pretty much answered this in the 'balance' section. Though I will state, I feel for the risks Lucinda took - there needed to be more reward. Taking the L for the team hurts. Give me sparkly things *_* (Not complaining about the two arcanium that I received, but jeeze the first hour was rough!) 9/10
Overall: 8.5/10
Any other comments: I LOVE YOU<3 APPRECIATE YOU <3 I had a great time!
