Yep, definitely need to have some patrols making rounds. This is a party of five who's slightly over-geared so they can handle a lot. Plus, below this level is when they're going to have to deal with the bbeg so I definitely want some depletion of resources, rather than have them go invisible...

Excellent point, FitztheRuke, thanks. Will definitely be implementing the die roll to quickly help figure out reaction times.

Nah, kicked my imagination off in just the right way.

Again, incredibly helpful breakdown. Really appreciate your taking the time.

Love all of this breakdown, pukunui. I was trying to avoid knocking over the dominoes before when I should simply allow them to fall (in a manner that is challenging but not a TPK). Really changed my mindset about it which is really helpful, many thanks.

Ezo, this is phenomenal, many thanks for taking the time and the interest. It's hugely appreciated. This is going to make things infinitely easier. Even though I'm realizing that I have more space to work with than I thought, leaning in to letting the encounters run their course and the chips...

Very helpful, makes this all seem much more possible. Thanks, Tonguez.

I just edited the original post, Quickleaf, to include the map. Many thanks for your thoughts above and interest!

Just like the title says, I'm confused about the best way to go about this. I'm running a published module/AP and the party is in a massive underground lair for Stone Giants (this particular tribe is extremely warlike, unlike the usual ones in the MM). The caverns have many large open areas...
