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.
