Welcome to Assault on Gumdrop Mountain. This is designed to be a fairly tough adventure for 5th and 6th level Dungeons and Dragons characters using the 5th edition of rules. In it, the characters wade into such nasty circumstances that only the assistance of a hallucinogenic elixir makes it possible for them to act at full capability. While under the effects of the drug, the characters perceive the world as a candy-infused landscape and monsters as sugary assailants.
The adventure is broken into 9 fairly small chapters containing one significant event or a connected series of small events.

I loved the adventure format. I lays out the encounters well, has a good mix of type, clear and cosine information for each. Very visual descriptions of all scenery. Most of the combat encounters had clear scaling advice. On a 5 point Very Easy to Very Hard scale, I'd say it was Hard for a 3 person APL 5 group. I had to cut some monster hitpoints and encounters for a focused group to do it in 4 hours, but it was especially easy to do that with the encounters because it was laid out so well.
