[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 9273544, member: 6906155"] Most of the adventures mentioned, including Tsojcanth, include lots of non-dungeon content, and it would seem out of character for WotC to cut that. Pure dungeon-bashing is out of fashion. So I do not believe the purpose of the staircase is to cut out walking. It's purpose must be because the included adventures could not reasonably all take place on the same plane. Anther factor we can consider when trying to predict the contents is the level range (1-13). Of the ones mentioned, only Village of Hommlet covers level 1, and level 13 is pretty high powered in 5e. I'm not familiar with all the adventures mentioned, but of those I do know, most of them fit into Tier 2. As an estimate, one of the toughest encounters in Barrier Peaks is the Froghemoth, which is CR10 in 5e. That would be about right for a 7th level party. The Tsojcanth boss is a vampire warrior, CR 15 in 5e, about right for level 11. [/QUOTE]
