This scenario is insanely mortal, and one of the greatest demonstration of Sandy's twisted and evil mind at his best. My group lost I think 9 beginning PC's in the course of that scenario... I would strongly recommand it to anybody ready to kill a all bunch of players. Expecting less would probably destroy the flavor of it, as the introduction from Sandy describes it as a "punishment" scenario. For the french players, it was translated in one of the early Tatous (the one describing Fronrit and the Kersh) under the name: "Le gros coup".
