I'm suspecting that the Fire Prophet is the worst of them all.Anyway, I do not plan to run Princes past 10th or 12th level, and the PCs are nearly 6th.  I'm going to find ways to trim it.  I suspect that the "wash rinse repeat" nature of clearing out a Keep, then a Temple, then a sub-Temple might get old.  Maybe not.  And yeah, they can get into harder than they can handle situations, but ultimately that is up to the DM to decide.  And i think that once my players realize how tough the opposition is, they're not going to try it alone, they're going to recruit help from SOMEWHERE.   I can see them spearheading a strike squad of 50 soldiers into a Temple, and maybe that's the kind of assault it needs.  But that's also what makes the sandbox nature of PotA fun to me, I don't know what's going to happen next and I try to run with the player's ideas.</blockquote>
