The quest says it's balanced for a 3rd level party, but when I ran the adventure that's what my group chose to do at 1st level. At 2nd level, they encountered the white dragon on the random encounter table while traveling to their next quest destination. An experienced DM can make those things work, but putting those possibilities in a book designed for new players that might be a first time DM without a lot more guidance on how to handle those situations is pretty bad IMO.Generally I like the adventures WotC has put with the various Starter Sets, but would like to see them spend some more time with the DM advice they include in them.</blockquote>
