Very much on theme; with both Weeping Axe & Grondar being like they were stripped straight from Robert E Howard’s mind- like a stranded alien would. Very legible layout & great font choice on the cover. Just about the only thing I would change is that this Spear that everyone wants should be way stronger imo, but not a big deal. Great work!

glorious s&s pirch here. A little too much to chew perhaps, but is that part of the s&s deal anyway? In the ned, the dungeon in good, well descrived, well delivered and full of danger and action. Conanesque. Nice!

This is a very great dungeon. Beautifully described, lots of secrets, encounters seem balanced. My players might not make it to room 2 :-D

I like the “Big Bulky half nakedness warrior guy” tone the whole tomb is set upon. It’s like falling into the airbrush covers of old.

I don’t know if this dungeon needed the alien, though. As it doesn’t interact with Weeping Axe and/or the spear, it seems like a second, tacked on quest to a dungeon already doing everything it needs to do. Love the orange vial, though!

There’s a little sentence in the last stat block: Weeping Axe is haunted by the spirits. I think this would be a strong angle to lean this into. The horde burying as many slain enemies as they could find with their Khan as a honoring gesture, only for him to be eternally haunted by their ghosts.

Maybe a twist would be, that he needs a Grondarian to kill him one last time.

Sorry, my comments often get on the ranty, long-windy side. I like the dungeon a lot and definitely put it on my todo-list :)

You understood the assignment! Well done. No notes.

Very clean and playable. I really like the design of the yellow call-out background for the stat blocks. Extending that out to the edge of the page was a great idea.

This is hella on-theme. We've got hallways made of bone in our adventure too! I love the interplay of the factions here, and the dungeon map is so clean and nice. Great work!

Some really clear layout here, and some really fun and flavorful writing. Brimming with lots of interesting things to do, and it doesn't feel cramped at all. 

And it's for Cairn! 47 stars out of a possible 47
