A 1st-level 4e adventure calls for 3rd-level (or so) 5e PCs (based on the CRs of orcs, etc). So I just built several 1st-level encounters and threw then into the adventure bones. These were for 3 PCs:Easy:2 iron defenders (mastiffs)2 koboldsModerate:2 rat swarms (this ended up being almost deadly)6 awakened shrubs2 goblins3 kobolds1 goblin + 1 wolf1 goblin + 2 stonefist defenders (goats) + 1 crossbow turret (bandit)Hard:1 animated suit of armor1 drake (tiger)1 hobgoblin + 1 mastiff1 goblin + 1 worg4 stirges4 iron defenders (mastiffs)Deadly:1 hobgoblin + 1 worg2 orcsThen I built an encounter guideline, separating the encounters in 100 XP chunks (which is how many encounters the PCs could face before a short rest). After 3 of these chunks, they'd have to take a long rest. I ended up with:A. 4 iron defenderslong rest at Dreona'sB. 6 awakened shrubs (in the approach through the woods near Kiris Dan)C. 2 koboldsshort restD. goblin + 2 stonefist defenders + crossbow turret (at the library)E. 2 rat swarms (at the moon temple -- they had to retreat)short rest (they ended up taking their long rest here)F. Animated Suit or armor (at the moon temple)long rest at Thiatys' lair (not needed, because they took their long rest early)G. 1 hobgoblin + 1 worg (didn't run this, since we ran out of time)I also wrote down two quests: find the Slaying Stone (200 XP) and Killing the hobgoblin leader (100 XP)</blockquote>
