Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • It is unclear from the map and the notes if the Heroes are to enter via the stairway or the doorway on the edge of the board; this is caused by the arrow pointing to the doorway, suggestive that it is an exit door. It appears that you can only progress through the Quest by stepping on the stairway tile, this would lead the Heroes to exit the Quest, meaning this Quest can't be completed, properly - I have deducted 1 star from each rating because of this flaw). In HQ21(Mythic Tier) you could have an all female party of Heroes. This would render 'C' redundant. Overall this Quest has potential, but suffers from a number of confused mechanics which would need sorting to make this play-ready.
  • A great concept for a quest - and there's the chance that players may wish to try once more to escape with ALL of the Succubus's captives too. The pathways through the map are really well designed - there is a slight oddity that there's an assumption the players will search room A to find the secret door, when it looks like the only direction they can come from is from the secret door side... unless the entrance/exit markers are swapped for some reason? This is a minior point however, as the mechanics and narrative of this quest are so clever. Great quest, well done!
