I've looked over the book, but paid more attention to the materials at the end than the adventure itself. I considered it for my current chronicle, but decided it wouldn't fit in for this one. I may well use it at a later date, though.

James:

1) what is a more proper version of the name?

2) I think the book said the characters should be pretty new and low-ranking. Were yours, and if not, do you think they could have survived?

On character death: I'm of two minds about this. 'In Character', death in combat is an expected -- preferred, actually -- way to go. In my setting, many of the characters believe in reincarnation, so death is more like time in the penalty box than a final end. 'Out of Character': When you've put the effort we do into character developement, it's hard to have a beloved character die off. I try to make a character's death an important point in a story rather than simply a lucky blow in an otherwise unnoteworthy skirmish. But the players should realize pretty quick that it's not permanent in this case. And if handled properly, they will see it as more than simple railroading (but that's largely up to the ST to work out).
