[QUOTE="Raunalyn, post: 7906419, member: 72670"] It depends on the DM. I ran it out of the box the first time, as written. The first half was a challenge for the group. The last half was a breeze. They ROFLStomped DemoGorgon in the last fight; poor rolls and poor action economy. He didn't last long at all. The second time I ran it, I took the lessons from my first go around. I kept the first half as is, and it was still a good challenge. The second half, I adjusted significantly. And in the last fight with Demogorgon, I gave him full hit points and let him have his legendary actions (which goes against the recommendations of the module), and the fight was much more intense and satisfying...it ended up being a running fight through the streets of Menzoberranzan as the party played a game of cat and mouse with the demon lord, doing guerilla ambushes and then running and hiding as Demogorgon tore down buildings in order to squish the little bugs.
