Character: Aris rin Petrakis
Which Event: Reconstituting the Kingdom (Whole Event Chain)
Responsiveness: 10/10. Always took into account our contributions, never took too long, overall very happy.
Balance: 8/10. I think the balance was mostly very good (although there were points I did until I realised we were *meant* to lose). Probably the only big thing was that a lot of the time the bosses felt a bit more rough because of their composition; several AOEs against 4 armed PCs and one mage was a bit rough; and it was occasionally impossible to escape them. Still, its hard to make an EC that perfectly fits, so I'll not hold that against.
Storytelling: 10/10. I was very happy with the links between every event in the chain, and the second and third times returning to Mora felt like going back to an old stomping ground. The third event involved revisiting the setting of the first one and encountering a fight that'd been skipped for time concerns in the first one, so it was a good callback. Probably the only thing that felt a little weird was how unceremoniously we slew the Lich in Pt 2, though the plotline of Pt 3 being stopping his return was quite good, enough to edge this from a 9 to a 10.
Fairness: 8/10. The danger *did* feel a little less than expected at times, but in Pt 3 we also rolled quite well for injuries (thank gods my rolls decided to stop being horrible) and without access to Rob's scale I can't really judge on what ifs. The Rewards were always quite imaginative and cool, and fed Ava's collectible hoarding.
Overall: 9/10. This was a fun event chain (if a little slower than I'd prefer given availabilities, but thats not anything anyone can help). Rob continues to impress with his events, and I recommend him!
