I use very slow advancement rules so this adventure is just going to be inserted, in two parts, into a long campaign with other adventures. I was considering running the first half at around level 7, and the second half somewhere between 12-14 (assuming they'd gain one level during it). I was already planning on buffing the demon princes and probably making demon encounters in general more believable (ie, instead of 1d4 X demons, have 2 or 3 different types of demon per encounter), as well as integrating the random encounter tables in the book with my more detailed ones. However, the relative weakness of the rest of the adventure (and I don't arbitrarily buff stuff that doesn't make sense to in the world) makes it a bit tricky to figure out how to fit it all together. I might just have to balance for the final battle and let the party walk all over most other things except for an occasional challenging random encounter.I suppose I can find that balance point the hard but kinda fun way: mock battles. Take the PCs (I always have a copy of their character sheets, though more to make sure they don't forget their own features than to guard against cheating--I have honest players) and face them off in a battle against the monsters, playing them effectively using the sorts of tactics I've witnessed them using before. Repeat a couple of times.</blockquote>
