[Walter S Ciechanowski]

My recollection is hazy, but I ran this as part of the Saltmarsh trilogy back in the day (I actually bought this first, borrowed someone else's copy of U1, and had to wait for U3 to come out before running it).

The first thing I remember is that they had the wrong monster painted on the cover (IIRC, interior illustrations were correct, but the cover depicted a locathah).

The next thing I remember was the tedious boredom of the players slogging through room after room of the same monster (lizard men) and, since the individual stats were in the back, I kept flipping back and forth through the book (in hindsight a copy machine would have been handy, but those were harder to come by pre-driver's licence in the early 80s).

Finally, I remember the meeting with the lizard chief (I don't remember if he was a lizard king) with the conversation going along the lines of "oh, this was all a misunderstanding...your true enemies are the [spoiler protected]." Then the PCs were free to leave, never mind that they had just massacred 75% of the tribe.

P.S. I thought U1 was excellent at the time. I can't recall U3.
