Well my group consists of a Grundy Templar, a veteran Templar, a Harrowed
Companion, a Banshee Syker (dragons) and a Lector Doomsayer.

The first chapter went well. The group killed the Nutrias with Arson in one
round, then ran from the Gators, so I did not have to deal with that
battle.  Part 2 was harder, as the Templars took a long time deciding
whether to help or not.   Also, given no one has blatatantly packing, I had
to change the dialogue a LOT (only two guns in the group concealed at all
times by robes).  The second Gators right was tougher as they managed to
split up so I had to run 2 fights. (the Templars did not agree to help at
first and when they decided to they were right at where the other
townspeople group was)

The third chapter went predictably. unfortunately Joe met the Syker and
Doomsayer, not the Templars, when the group split.  The fight was very very
short. (the Syker tried to cut Joe's head off) Only the Harrowed scouted
the boat.

I found Luke irritating.  I decided to have him at the beginning but have
plans to further insert him unless they ask.  If your players include a
Syker pyrokenetic use the Gunpower quantities as a deterrent.

Overall  it seems good if unprepared for alot of "hork" power...I will send
more as I think of it.
