Notes
We called the game after almost 4 hours of play. Still had plenty to get through but we were making great headway in the adventure, and everyone had a wonderful time. A great mix of silliness and danger! The lions are a bit strong (Large Beast) but not unbeatable. The Useful Creature background might be strong, likely reducing ax skill. Need to add a door between the kitchen and dining room. Give other backgrounds some fighting skills.
