[QUOTE="Ealli, post: 4277619, member: 804"] I was roped into running the adventure when I arrived and we found that there weren't enough DMs for all the people who wanted to play. Two players insisted on making their own 1st level characters and I never checked those characters to make sure they were created correctly. In fact, I'm rather certain they had errors. The hobgoblins went down quickly enough, even with the first two sarcophogi lighting up by characters jumping on them. The party found the elf at the end and triggered a fight with him and drew him and his skeletons into the cave chamber. My reading placed that as difficult terrain and that did all sorts of bad things to tactical movement by the party -- they were constantly provoking opportunity attacks from the skeletons. The statues hit the party's flank and tore them a new one. By the time both statues were down, three out of five of the characters were down too. The fourth went down the next round. The remaining fighter threatened the kids and I let them run out towards her setting off the collapsing cave. The resulting cave in killed the remaining skeletons and then the elf necromancer too. The one fighter escaped with the kids for the reward. Funny too, the pregen she selected was the one with the motto about partaking if the reward was good enough. The players seemed to mostly enjoy the minicampaign. [/QUOTE]
