Quite a fun, interesting premise with a formidable opponent. However, the scenario is stated as suitable for starting characters but seems pretty difficult for that level - the creatures encountered certainly exceed SotDL's 'recommended difficulty per day', with the finale, a fairly typical dungeon, exceeding that recommendation by 2-3 times if all the threats end up in battles, which seems likely - one of the peripheral dungeon encounters has a difficulty level equal to the main scenario threat on its own, for example.

It might work better as a Novice level scenario, especially as it's not tied to any character creation events as are the other two starting character scenarios available for the game currently 'The Slaver's Lash' and 'Survival of the Fittest'.

All in all, a reasonable scenario, but may require some work by the GM to heighten the mystery elements and perhaps play down the deadliness of the dungeon, which would be relatively easy to do by removing some of the non-essential combat encounters and having the party stalked by the main threat in a running game of cat-and-mouse.
