My read was that by the time the party reached that encounter they should have picked up clues that that room was no place to hang about in. Also the spectre should attack as soon as the party cleared the corridor going in. Your DM waited until the optimal moment to screw your party.Is it dooable for a first level group? In my opinion, just about expecially if you have a cleric. I think you had some extremely bad luck.I ran it with a Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Fighter, Swordmage and Cleric and ran it as written. The party is one bigger than the desgined for group but I decided it would give them a good fight.THe Ochre jelly is pretty tough initially but as it splits it get away more fragile. The spectres are lethal but very fragile. The cleric bloodied them from full with a turn undead. The swordmage was very effective in knocking out the jelly but got dropped to below 0 by the spectres.In the end the party won but blew all powers, a good few action points and had as far as I remember a couple of characters dropped below 0.</blockquote>
