TL; DR-Solid finish to the AP! 97%

Basics– Time to end this!  Eyes of Empty Death is the finale of the Abomination Vaults adventure path.  You’re DEEP underground and it’s now time to deal with the evils that are rising to destroy Absalom.  What horrors are this far underground?

Mechanics or Crunch– This is another solid Paizo adventure.  Overall, the mechanics worked well and things felt balanced.  There are a few things that I feel need a slightly better explanation like how some elements work during the final fight.  But, those you can hand wave easily enough.  It might not be perfect, but it worked well enough.  4.5/5

Theme or Fluff– This was a fun story overall with extra interesting bits of world lore.  The story had new characters and twists with a crazy ending that the players enjoyed.  There HAS to be a load bearing boss at the end, because I’ve played enough classic Nintendo games to know it must be.  However, all those things just add to the charm of this one. 5/5

Execution– PDF? Yep.  Hyperlinked?  Yes! Solid Art?  Yep.  Good layout? Yes.  It’s a  book by Paizo, so I was never in doubt of the quality.  For 20 bucks as a PDF, you get a lot of nice toys, art, layout, and a solid extra book of maps that you can change levels and elements on.  Overall, this is all the things I wanted from a modern book!  5/5

Summary– This was a solid conclusion to the adventure path, and while well done, if you like it will entirely depend on if you want a dungeon crawl.  The levels are only semi connected and it’s a lot of random between them, but that’s the fun of a dungeon crawl.  You do random stuff and have fun.  I thought it was a well done version of that.  So, if you want a nine level dungeon crawl, here you go! 97%
