I have updated the first post with my current WIP list for this module; the list itself is complete, and the monsters all have recommendations linked to them. I just need to complete the NPC recommendations at a later date.

One thing I did notice with this module is that some of the quantities listed for creatures can get crazy. 10+ of a single monster type is fairly common, with one extreme example being up to 100 Mane demons showing up.
