The issue with translating it to DnD is figuring out the scale. IF you aren't gaining supernatural health, luck or defenses, then you are likely stuck at 4 hp, maybe as much as 12 or 16 hp. At 4 hp.... you just don't stand a chance. A CR 1 Horse-sized spider can hit you for 16 damage. A swarm of RATS deals 7 damage, and that is before getting into natural hazards. Brown Mold is very cold, and if someone is walking by with a torch, it will explode towards that heat source. It does 22 cold damage, 11 on a save. Stepping NEXT to this stuff is an instant freeze-dried mummy experience. It is absolutely possible to do the story, but if you strip away the protections a DnD character has, and stick with low stats and low hp... it just isn't likely for them to survive a CR 1 dungeon, let alone anything deadlier.</blockquote>
