This one looks awesome, got a question about the brutal hawk: since critical damage causes you to become incapacitated, shouldn't you then just be helpless when it grabs you? Thus the STR save cannot happen.
Per the rules on page 22, "when a creature lists critical damage in its stat block, this occurs instead of the standard critical damage effect." So if the hawk critically damages a PC they are carried off *instead* of being incapacitated. Good luck!

Is there more about the setting of Maplemoor or are you just namedropping to kickstart GM and Player creativity?
Nope, it's just a hook for improvisation! Wanted to keep the adventure as slimmed down as possible.

Oh, missed that! Thank you!
Ran this as my first mausritter adventure the other day for two players and we all had great fun! Lots of stuff to interact with and an engaging setup
