What we have here is one-page affair (in regard to content, without the legal text, artwork, etc.) To get to the point, this supplement falls short of delivering a good encounter description. It has fancy artwork, a good kick-off for the thing to come (a nice scene description and a backdrop story), but as soon as that is established... it fails to provide any meaningful tips on how the combat encounter should play out. You get the stats, but in regard to running the encounter you get lines like (quote) “When playing the Raukamar/Balor you should remember that they have innate magical abilities and these should be used to maximum effect!” “In any event, if the demon looks in danger of defeat then it will flee using magic to avoid pursuit.” To me, this does not really provide help for running a combat encounter. By the by, do not expect a manor. The manor is a smoldering ruin right before the combat encounter starts.
