The biggest issue I've run across isn't the deadliness of the encounters, but the lack of room for the number of creatures. In AD&D they assumed Giants only took up a 10' square, but in 5E they take up 15', and that extra 5' make a big difference for combat and just fitting in the rooms(no pun intended). I've had to change tactics and move/remove creatures just to get things to fit. If you are concerned about the deadliness, then removing monsters will help with this issue as well.I would say level 9-10 is a good starting point, and try to get them to level about each adventure. Since you have an experienced player, it shouldn't be hard to remind them that these are HARD adventures designed to test the Player's (not Character's) skills. I think letting the players know that stealth is a far better strategy than charging in is almost a necessity (my group had to argue a lot with the Barbarian PC to keep that from happening).</blockquote>
