What is your experience with the delve adventures in this book?
I have run several of them; Level 1, 2, 3, and 5. I ran the level 5 delve today for my group (4 players at 7th level, 5th player was absent). The delve damn near kicked their ass. I also had a TPK in the delve with the Goblin tower. The room with the snipers and the Goblin witch caster sent them running out of the delve twice. Once they did fight to the top, they were then killed. Death by Defenstration (ie: they got thrown off the top of the damn thing).
I tend to run my game wiht a rule of 3. I will run if I get 3 to show up. I figured the Goblin tower was due to me not scaling down the encounters for fewer players. But the 5th level delve nearly killed my 7th level players.
Are the delves in this book just much more difficult then they ought to be?
