I'm with you. I think Kidnapped! is my favorite encounter card in the game. In game, it's rough. Allies are among the most powerful assets in the game often providing potent abilities, stat pumps and damage and horror soak and rarely come cheap. The tempo hit is real if you fail this test.

In campaign, it's terrifying. Losing a Dayana Esperence or Brother Xavier that you invested experience in or a Lady Esprit or Abbess Allegria that you earned through a side scenario makes your fight with the Bishop family personal.

Otherwise, it's not one of my favorite scenarios. Just feels like it runs a little longer than it should.

I'd agree on it running a little longer than it should. I think the emotional impact of that scenario will always stay with me though. One of my favourite gaming memories.
