[QUOTE="Belares, post: 4670899, member: 2782"] Our group just started playing in that adventure path on WotC site and want to get some input on the start of it. I am gonna have SPOILER ALERT if you have not played in it, and we have just got to the ruined keep part. Anyway I was hoping to see if anyone else thought the encounter levels were way off! I thought the intial bar fight was fine but then the Ogre with fire wagon and 2 hobgoblin archers were not too bad (supposedly a level 1 encounter). The thing is not to let the ogre get anywhere near you. The problem i really had was the skill challenges to get to the Rivenroar castle. We did fail the challenges twice (poorest rolls i have ever seen!) and first fail was a cave bear level 6 elite brute(another supposed level 1 encounter)...pretty dang tough but we escaped with our lives then the next one was 2 adult Kruthiks, 2 young Kruthiks and 4 kruthik hatchlings (supposedly a level 2 encounter). This encounter we had 5 players and my rogue died and the others survived but barely and my question is anyone else think these encounters are too tough? I am asking if anyone else went through them and thought the encounter level was off? I think if i had not taken 44 hps of damage (and died out right) in 1 round i might have been a better help in later rounds though LOL! [/QUOTE]
