Brash players will cause the body count to rise fast. I've been running the adventrure since early September of last year. My players have cleared out the moathouse and 1/2 of the Crater Ridge Mines. They still have to tackle the Fire and Earth Temple before they head into the Inner Fane. I did run a couple of side adventures, so the players are probably one or two levels higher than they need to be.  It doesn't seem to make a big difference though.My biggest advice is this. Monte meant for Crater Ridge to be a dynamic and changing place. Play off that. Have the temples use the party against each other as often as possible. And once they have really become a serious threat don't allow the party to leave and come back to the same dungeon. Have Hedrack hire new guards (in my case I used a couple of Fiendish Hill Giants and the Green Dragon who is a native to the mines). Have him expand defenses and Scry on the party. The module has proven to be very fun but it also gets tiresome. Sometimes I long for a campaign with a different focus but that usually goes away when we sit down to play. Oh, and take the advice about the Demon God's Fane. It fits in perfect with the story.Ren</blockquote>
