They've nearly completed the adventure, and are 3rd level each just as they're approaching the final battle. I had one of the players approach me after the session the other night, and complain about it.His complaint was that they were getting too much EXP. Sure, I did up the challenges somewhat, as even at first level, they were taking on everything without barely breaking a sweat. And, we're talking 100% new characters, no magic items, no special abilities, just standard stuff. Now, he complained that since Sunless Citadel was supposed to walk the characters through up to 3rd level, they should also have I think he said $2700 in gold and treasure each. Umm... there isn't that much gold in the adventure, not by a long shot, and they've missed quite a bit as well. So, my big question is this.... should I have just left the adventure as it was?  Should I have allowed them to continue to walk through it, barely taking any damage and wiping everything out, without increasing the challenge? And, since I did increase the challenge, should I increase the amount of treasure they find to reflect it?I don't want my game to go crazy the way the one that I play in has.... Believe me.Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.Chris</blockquote>
