If you have a large group of six characters they might be able to handle it as written, with as few as two of them dying. Otherwise do not use the Manticore encounter, it can easily kill a 3rd level or lower character, or two. Plus the main encounter of the module at the tower can definitely go TPK if the PC's get into any kind of all out fight. Those are the two big PC killers in the module. Plus realize that the module is also 3.0, so if you use 3.5 some adjusting will need to be done.Use the Wizards Amulet download to start off the adventure, it even has pre-gen characters you can use as PC's or NPC's, plus there is an additional download that gives a lot of extra flavor to Fairhill's surrounding environs.Use it and come to the Necromancer Messageboards and we will help you out with any further advice or rules questions. Just post in the Crucible or Wizards Amulet forums.Lost City of Barakus is also very good, but it is meant for long term use, even though you could easily just use it for a few beginning adventures and have the party move on from there. However, it is too good and too expensive to use in such a minor way.Also take a look at Ed Cha's Village of Oester/Whitehorn modules. A well fleshed out campaign starter that will give you a lot of mileage. However, together, they cost about $30.00 plus shipping, when you can find them. But I like them, so I am glad i bought them.I also ran NeMorans Vault and had a great time with it. However, unless you are familiar with the rules, be careful. Its bad editing makes it confusing plus there are some treasures in there you probably won't want a low level party having. It also is a 3.0 module. It is very difficult to find, usually possible on eBay. The downloads at Fiery Dragon are worth getting as well.If you decide to use Crucible a good follow-up module to it is Morrick Mansion, also by Necromancer Games. This one is not as lethal as most Necromancer Modules, but it is very original, fun, and lots of role play opportunity.If you are willing to do pdf I believe you can find Crucible and Morrick Mansion at Drivethrurpg, or some name like that. They often appear in the ad banner at the top of this web page.</blockquote>
