I told my players this would just be a short dungeon crawl, I prepared them for what is, essentially a game of Descent. We're just testing combat, we don't have the final rules, etc...Has anyone collected anything like an Adventure Construction Set? With the monsters and items we know about? I know all the informations out there but it's getting hard to sift through it all.I have only a couple of questions;1) What level of monster can Seven 1st level PCs reasonably take on? I know I've seen threads around here about this but I can't find them. What's the toughest monster they could take on? How many of each monster is the right amount? 2) Do we know how skill checks work? Can I give them stuff to do besides fight? I thought it would be cool to begin the adventure with the PCs looting a kobold-infested barrow. Starting with the PCs having already snuck into the barrow. The first thing they do is grab some gold idol or something, maybe a magic item they could use, and then having a big stone block cut off their escape route. So that's the opening. Now there's three corridors leading away, presumably out, and they have to pick one. Before they can start, a swarm of kobolds erupts from the corridor openings and that's the first encounter.If they survive the kobolds, they pick an corridor and make their way out. Each corridor contains a different kind of monster? Maybe one corridor ends with a chasm they have to jump, or turn back and take another corridor? So there's a skill check but if they can't make it they still have options.How does that sound?</blockquote>
