[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 7193465, member: 48965"] Well those tiers have different focuses...don't they. At tier 2 you're involved in saving cities and kingdoms... not towns. So given the assumptions for said tier... I can create 3 encounters centering on travel towards a mad wizard's tower whose encroaching forces happen to be a day away... Again 4 party members, we'll say 7th level XP Total: 6800 In or around the city (2) CR 6 Invisible Stalkers - sent by the wizard into the city to hunt down and end the threat the adventurers pose as they are preparring to set out. (5) CR 3 Professional mercenaries turned bandits (Veteran stats)- Originally hired to patrol the outskirts of the lands under the city's protection this professional mercenary company has taken to robbing those they were hired to protect and they've set their eyes on the PC's. (2) CR 6 Wyverns _ The encroaching army has been depleting their hunting grounds pushing them closer and closer to the city. After this point most of the encounters can revolve around the immediate threat of the wizard and his forces that are marching on the city Well, unless these wolves are abnormal or starving it doesn't seem like they would go out of their way to attack humans...if they have natural prey... especially with such a small pack. Well if I had context... a world with it's conceits already laid out... I wouldn't have to do that, consider them simply suggestions on how these encounters can fit into a general world with little to no effect on worldbuilding. However this is what I was referring to earlier when I said you are basically asking me to create a world on the fly in a forum thread... otherwise yeah it does look like justification after the fact.
