DiosYubi and I played through this adventure. I was the warden. The setting descriptions and map are great. I like the idea of using an encounter table to simulate the troll’s movement. During a fight against three adventurers, the troll seemed overpowered. His blast damage killed one adventurer and critically damaged the other two. A fourth adventurer, who stayed out of the fight had to defeat the troll, with Blil’s help. I think removing the blast part of the troll’s attack would make the fight more balanced. If your intention was to make the troll so powerful that the party would need to be stealthy, it makes sense.

First of all, big big thank you for playing the adventure and for your feedback! I'm always happy to hear playreports! I mean I create these little things to be played! :)
I don't know if you noticed but the troll and the goblins are taken straight from the corebook of Cairn.
This adventure, the cave part at least, was originally part of the German translation of the game as an introductory adventure. I extended it with a small town und the woods for the jam.
During playtesting, I had some character deaths occure as well and a stealthy approach proved to be generally more successful indeed.
That said it's the first time somebody got the help of Blil during the fight and that really is exciting to hear!
I hope you and your players had fun nonetheless! ;)
