System neutral, lowish level(?)

Premise: A dead warlock's cloud based castle is ripe for pillaging, just mind the flying monkey guards.

What do we get here?

 This is a one page adventure that has 8 keyed locations.

Usability/formatting

For a one page dungeon there is a lot of information on the page. thankfully it is fairly easily to read through. The theme of the dungeon is evident through out and generates some nice little quirks for players to interact with.

 It is a bit disappointing that enemy creatures are just deployed in two large lumps for the most part, spreading them out a bit more might be more interesting than just having two huge combats to run.

 The maps took me a second or two to grok but once you get them they are clean enough to show how everything fits together.

 There is a variety of loot for the players to pick up, some of which could be magic items. Since this is a fairly system neutral adventure you will need to figure out your own magical effects for the items included.

 All in all this is an easy to read through and run adventure.

Portability

 You do need to have a decent amount of magic in your campaign world to slot this in as well as some self motivated players. This is very much a situation for the players to explore rather than an adventure with a clear plot.

 Recommendation

 Definitely a fun drop in, something you could stick in a hex or run at a random village on the road. Just be aware before running this adventure it may end up with your players having an army of flying monkeys and a flying castle at their disposal by the end.

 The adventure is free at the link below.
