That means it could go slow and take a long time, with all the hp and defenses on the board.It shouldn't be too grindy, because the level is low, but take my advice. If you are going to have the players run into a group of 5 tough soldiers with extra defense capabilities, I wouldn't do it more than once in a session or more than twice in the entire adventure. I think this fight is going to take awhile.It can certainly work to your advantage, it really hammers home the flavor of dwarves being tough as nails. But if this is the standard encounter for an adventure it will get tedious.Edit: Also note that the dwarves deal very low damage and really present no threat to a level 5 party other than to use up resources. It will probably be a boring battle. You definitely need those traps you are suggesting. I would try an encounter with 3 or 4 of those guys (maybe 3 and some minions) and a couple of traps that deal very high damage. This way you can use your well made monsters and still present a threat to the party.Edit edit: Tunnel Warden Shield: Shield Bearer: "does no move" should be "does not move".</blockquote>
