Reception
Chris Hunter reviewed the module for Imagine magazine, giving it a favorable review.[1] Hunter noted that, compared to UK5, this module is a more conventional "follow-the-treasure-map-adventure".[1] Although he thought this a "hackneyed idea", Hunter considered it well executed.[1] He described the main part of the module as "well thought out".[1] Overall he called this "a worthwhile and interesting excursion".[1]
