Firstly I'm wondering if I would change the base damage to 1d8+4 with area effect attacks (or single target minor actions) at 1d6+3. Technically thats 0.5 damage down on the suggested figure but it is a Level 1 supersolo and while I would nearly always say round up in these cases, between Levels 1-4 I'd be wary of that.Secondly, I have been looking over the original stat-block again and I am worried its a bit too 'busy' for a Level 1 monster. Of course that should be no problems for you using it, but I just wonder how others (especially beginner DMs) would look at it. Not a major complaint by any means since this is created for your campaign. But I always like to ponder 'how would I do it'. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Also as regards the chase sequence, perhaps a better idea might be to have success or failure lead to favourable terrain for the winner. Perhaps if the PCs don't catch her soon enough, she ends up in the cave with the Ice Bats (x8 Level 1 Minions)?I'll maybe have more thoughts later on. Its an interesting case study.</blockquote>
