This is a very clean adventure. Feels like I could run it without much prep. Very well done.

The only things I would suggest, if you expand on this, are a set of hooks for how the PCs might get quested towards the sinking sanctuary, and some notes about the trip from Poe's Lantern to the sanctuary.

Great job.

Thanks! That was all there, but I ran out of room!

Looks clean and easy to run.

That's the goal! Thanks for having a look.

Excellent job! Wonderful layout and the weird bayou Greek mash up is a winner!

Developer

Thanks! Doing the research was fun.

Polymorph fun! Interesting swamp and Greek mythos mash-up!

A room full of pigs and polymorph spells zinging everywhere. What could go wrong?

Really good, clean map and concise room descriptions. This adventure is obviously built with GMs in mind. 

Developer

Thank you!

I enjoy your room layouts and descriptions.  Simple, straightforward, and has enough room for DMs to interject whatever they need.  The general overall layout is great as well.  Great Job.

Thanks! I think Shadowdark is at it best when it leaves room for the GM. 

The map is mostly Kelsey's dice-rolling mapmaking procedure from the core book along with some advice on loop theming from one of Baron's videos!
