[QUOTE="MadLordOfMilk, post: 4757245, member: 77691"] My group pulled it off, and they were complete 4e newbies. It was like their third encounter. Of course, it was a close one, but Irontooth got stomped by the paladin on a 42-damage (or something in that ballpark) crit! That was also the first time that player played... great way to get someone hooked ;) As far as the adventure goes, I think it's cool, but it's also incredibly long for a "starter" adventure. The quick few encounters towards the back of the DMG should cover you for a session or two (depending on how long you run for). As a newbie DM at the time, I had some trouble running it and keeping it interesting. I'm sure if I ran it now, though, it would be much more engaging. Let me just stress, [B]know the adventure before you run it[/B]! That's the real key to running something you didn't make up. Know the adventure and give it a read before you run it, and be willing to make things up as you go along story-wise... it covers some stuff, but not a ton.
