[QUOTE="kalani, post: 6821902, member: 88085"] If you print the logsheets, use AL-legal characters, and run the adventure generally as written you should be fine. You can scale encounters up or down by adding/removing the same creature(s) (you cannot substitute different creatures however), but unlike the DDAL adventures, there is no exact guide as to how each specific encounter should be scaled. As such, either just eyeball it (as you want to maintain the difficulty), or use p82 of the DMG to determine encounter difficulty that way. Also, keep in mind that the end-game reward (a share in the mine) can be considered a story award, but it has no mechanical benefit at this time. DCI numbers are not needed unless one or more of you [I]also[/I] play at stores (in which case those specific players and/or DMs will have DCI numbers they should use). Your characters will remain AL-legal if you follow the above guidance (and don't use any house rules or add extra encounters/equipment), and can then move on to any other AL-legal adventure within their tier (which is likely to be Tier 2). The characters can also play other Tier 1 adventures between sessions if they wish, but should be mindful of their levels. Characters playing in Lost Mines [I]can[/I] be of different tiers, but their level difference should not exceed APL +/- 2 at this point. [/QUOTE]
