Thank you for the input. As a species... all the ones presented in this short adventure might be evil, but I don't think they need to all be evil as a species. I think there's definitely potential for a path to redemption if characters could somehow break their devotion to the evil god. I like the way you think, I like them too. I tried to present situations that could have a variety of possible outcomes depending on how players approach the situation and I definitely think a path to redemption could be a possibility... at least if I were the GM.
