I really enjoyed the "snake oil" descriptions for items. Great work!

The structure and pace are sound which can be hard to pull of in a linear style adventure. The feel is very pulpy, perfect for the challenge given to us. Would have liked to see if the other covers introduced some other inspiration. Formatting and descriptions are easy to follow.
Great job with the layout. I didn't see this pre-update, but it looks great now. Those advertisements are EVERYTHING! Cheers!
Very fun little adventure to drop into your coastal or nautical campaign. Love the ideas presented here, especially how alternative ways to tackle the problems are presented (eg. making Nessa come to her senses). Naraxus' statblock is another highlight with how he uses the titular N-ray; swiviling it around on its podium.
The main image on page 1 is not anchored to the page, this throws it off and it looks weird.
The table on Page 4 needs to have it's text "Word-wrap". half of every sentence is cut off.
The image on page 6 needs to anchor to page with the wrap set to Page wrap.
Page 7 "WRANGER CLASS" is covering up the text that should be shown in the columns.
Again on page 7, the table is completely cut off beings of the two column format.
Also, on page 7 it literally says "CLASS TITLE" as a palceholder. this should be removed.
This needs a serious second draft and a proof reader.
Once these things are addressed, it should be saved as a PDF and uploaded. .docx files are unprofessional. AND if you are using any special fonts, we don't see them when we open the .docx file. BUT, if you save it as a PDF we will see it.
All of these concerns have been addressed with the most recent update.
