[QUOTE="thejc, post: 5399833, member: 100006"] Well good luck on running the game. A couple observations. A your party is small(Im sure you know this) so you are lacking some skill sets that most adventures assume that you have. You have no arcane caster. You especially have to be careful if you use a published adventure. You can look here though for some help and inspiration.

You may have to introduce an npc or some other device maybe the rogue can use to help. Also you have newbies at the table so I would let the story come to them.
