The final act of the first volume of the Dragonlance Saga (but far from the end of the adventure) sees the party crossing the Dwarven hold of Thorbardin and getting permission to take the 800 refugees from Pax Tharkas across to safety. The adventure also culminates with the battle against Verminaard and the wedding of Goldmoon to Riverwind.

So by the end of this module you finally achieve a resting point in the story and campaign, with the stage set for further adventures. As is typical of the Dragonlance modules this plays more like a kind of interactive fiction than as any kind of sandbox module, however the story is compelling enough to more than justify playing through it.

The story by this point also deviates enough from the published novels to make it worthwhile playing even if you know that story back to front. The whole Skullcap from DL3 and Thorbardin sections in this module are exclusive to the modules (although they would be later novelized as short stories in future years) and  therefore make it unexpected parts of the adventure even with a party familiar with the Dragonlance Chronicles.
