[QUOTE="Reaper Steve, post: 4242566, member: 51528"] First: great job! Second: constructive criticism: you ran it backwards. The PCs are supposed to enter from the east side of the map, which is the half of the map not shown in the illustration (as clarified in the product FAQ.) The PCs are supposed to advance two turns, but then it also states that the kobolds don't expose themselves until at least one PC is between the two easternmost boulders. This is slightly contradictory... what if the PCs don't get there in two turns? (My modification will be to have the PCs establish a generic marching order/spacing and then show them the map. If they don't make any changes, I will place their figs in that order with the lead PC in the first position between the boulders that causes the kobolds to act. If they do make changes, the same trigger will occur, but probably to the lone scout (!) Hope his buddies can catch up.) When the kobolds do first act, only the 5 minions expose themselves first, with higher initiative kobolds delaying until they act. The rest of the encounter tactics make much more sense when the PCs approach from the east. [/QUOTE]
