Re: Scenario Review: (UTBS) 10. Speaking with the Fishes
1) Version and difficulty? 1.9.7, nightmare
4) Storyline and dialogues? Good. You have one run-on sentence and one sentence fragment. Nym acts inappropriately rude, but I suppose that is her character.
5) Fun, gameplay, mood, etc.? Much of the campaign has an epic movie feel to it, including this scene.
Edit: For version 1.11.15, I was struck by how paranoid our heros sounded as they considered the old Merman's offer. Early in the campaign, they aren't suspicious enough with respect to the Trolls (or Dwarves.) Now they are too suspicious. I would suggest a more positive or fatalistic attitude, with each character arguing something like this:
Grog: "I don't think we have a choice."
Zhul: "If they wanted us dead, they could have already killed us."
Nym: "I believe they are an honorable people."
Kaleh: "I agree. We will cast our lot with the Mermen."

4) Storyline and dialogues? You use the term "goodness" a couple of times, which sounds off. I'd suggest "virtue" or "light" instead.
5) Fun, gameplay, mood, etc.? I didn't need it, but some players might. You might want to check a player's starting gold as killing the rebel leader in the previous scenario without killing the other elves might serious damage a player economy. If the Merfolk leader gave pearls to Kaleh stating "It was a brave thing that you did tackling the rebel leader whilst trying to avoid shedding innocent blood. Your actions betray the purity of your heart." Then check the roster and grant the player +X gold for each rebel in their roster.

Re: Scenario Review: (UTBS) 10. Speaking with the Fishes
1) What version and difficulty level did you play the scenario on? Please do not submit feedback from pre 1.4.
- 1.14.5, Normal
4) Do you like the storyline and the dialogues? If not what part/character lags behind or what would you like changed?
- Very interesting for the final act! The revelations of who Yechnagoth and Zhangor are... that was very dark and spine chilling. How could the humans manage to summon the ultimate evil on that island and how Zhangor brainwashed the elves by the time of the fall... I think UtBS is the darkest BfW campaign because of so
5) Do you think the scenario was fun? Please write down some thoughts about gameplay, mood etc.
- Very fun talk-only scenario!
