When I ran it, I did have the guys stay back in their places to "buff up." The party (all three of them and no cleric) were seriously outgunned (even at lvl 2). They picked up a fourth PC (the new character of the fella wasted last session), a dwarven cleric and headed to the last fight. Veltargo and "The Blessed One" nearly made mincemeat out of them, and had I played the guys to the hilt, there would have been TPK. Especially if I had Veltargo cast Bull's Strength and the "The Blessed One" use its full attacks. The barbarian already used his rage and was down to single digits (from a 28 total), the sorceror/fighter was low on spells (just three Rays of Frost and a Daze), "The Blessed One" crit-ed on the cleric for 18 points of damage, well enough to put him past -10 (he had four hp left), but took it reeeeeeeally easy on him and left him at 0 (I just didn't have the heart to have him make yet another character and be waaaay behind the party by that point). Even still, the party of four barely squeaked by with a hp total that didn't even crack double digits. Memorable stuff!I'll definitely be a lot more open towards running more Dungeon adventures in the future. There's one in particular I remember a few years back which had an elven hero with a blink dog mount who was in some trouble, can't remember what it was called or what issue it was.</blockquote>
