The layout on page 2 and onwards is really good! I was a bit taken aback by the formatting on the first page, but after that everything was very, very pleasantly readable :) Slowly becoming a fan of pointcrawls, lots of good, classic fun in here. Something about your writing makes the volcano very attractive to explore! Also, appreciate that the volcano ERUPTS! and doesn’t say it kills everyone :) gotta give them some hope!

Lots of cool stuff in here. I like the idea of being in a volcano that's also a ticking time bomb! Everything is laid out and easy to digest too. If I had any input, it's that it would be fun to add some activities to go along with the creatures on the encounters table. For example, there are 2d4 Goblin Outcasts but maybe they're up to something like digging up weird volcanic soil roots to gnaw on. Otherwise, nice work!
Good work. Well organized and a very good use of art. I love the simple and very readable layout, easy to use on the fly, without prep.
The names Vulk, Izax, and Gurang all play well together and with the volcano setting. If I were running it, I might take the city's "fishing" theme connect to jigging for some kind of lesser fire serpents in vents at the base of the volcano. If I were playing it, my character would certainly seek out additional rear armour pieces knowing that a ruthless assassin named Harrowbottom was in the vicinity XD
Beautiful choice of cover art and font.
I'm quite fond of the exploding Pumice Toadies and I like that the eruption isn't really a question of if (at least if players battle Gurang) but a question of when.
I think a few adventure hooks would go well next to the Introduction on page 2.
Very well organized! I could pick this up and run it within ten minutes. I also like that you added your generator prompts in the beginning.
