Catacombs of the Undercity is a fun dungeon crawl that initially overwhelms you, but with perseverance, can be completed. Quite enjoyed exploring was I thought was an atmospheric crawl through the sewers. Only issue I have is the amount of Fitness Tests that are required to be made in the adventure, otherwise impressed.
