[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6829690, member: 18333"] This thread reminds me of my play experience with HoDQ When I played HoDQ we only got to 6th level before our schedules stopped our campaign. During one of our early sessions we were pretty bloodied when we saw a group of about 10 (assorted kobolds, lizards and cultists) moving towards us. One PC actually wanted to fight them, but as the cleric in the group with reasonable wisdom, I shouted for our group to run. My PC nearly had to physically pull that war hawk PC with us. We did escape and lived to continue our adventures. For the sessions we did run, my PC was knocked down and dying 2 times and the 4 other pcs got knocked down at least 1 or 2 times each. HotDQ is quite a dangerous adventure path. I think it was written that way to train players to be cautious, use stealth, deception and alternate ways to overcome challenges (that and the writers didn't even have access to the final versions of the monster stats). I approve of its deadliness. [/QUOTE]
