Solo Level 13 TR. Got loot nerfed before finishing the spiders at the beginning of the quest, wound up -10 minor potions and -5 lesser potions because of it, would plow through multiple series of encounters with zero drops of any sort. Sad, because mowing things down is exactly what the TR class is designed to do. For whatever reason, many of the traps were untargettable for disarming ("out of line of sight"). Additionally, you could see the ai pathfinding errors, as the ai is apparently unable to walk around a single saw trap in a room (it would walk to the saw trap and just stand there as I stood right on the other side of the trap). None of these are your fault.

Their is a wide variety of encounters. It's a dungeon with multiple environment types (fire/ice), which is a standard DnD trope so that's fine. I liked the boss encounter, using multiple bosses to give the difficulty of a proper one.

Light on lore and story, heavy on killing stuff. There's really not much story. Dungeon design was pretty sparse.

Thanks for the review kamaliicious, regarding the lore and design, I'm slowly adding to the quest over time. The intention is to keep the lore optional so that those that wish to plow through enemies may do so.
