Another excellent little one-off by the folks at Adamant Entertainment, this one involves our heroes in an auction that goes awry over the attempt to sell the legendary Jade Monkey. In the process a beautiful woman is kidnapped and held for ransom, an attempt is made on our heroes' lives and a message is delivered, a dangerous and difficult race through China Town to solve the mystery, avoid various nefarious death traps and unravel the clues to find the hostage, and a final confrontation with the evil Dr. Sin (clearly a take-off of Dr. Fu Manchu) culminates in the final climactic scene! The adventure is pretty well plotted, though also somewhat linear in its arrangement. A clever GM will spend some time to ensure that the players can follow the clues in any order they are discovered and still reach the denouement in time to rescue the fair maiden. The confrontations are well thought out, and the Jade Monkey itself can play a role in the game. All in all this one is pretty good. And it introduces Dr. Sin (who could probably use a renaming) as a potential future villain if he survives this adventure. I liked it, and it can easily be converted to other campaigns as well.
