Just Strarted.
Just started this one on sunday....got about 4 hours of game time in (we didn't get to play as long as normal as we were waiting on some of the players to show up). Got through A1, 2, 7, 21, 8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 14, 13, 15, 19, 16, 17 and 18. Not to bad, but the players did seem a bit daunted when they examined the players map and then did some meta game thinking to try to figure out how much time it might take them to get through the dungeon. I tried to explain that we would probably not go through every room but maybe that's not the case as they are taking care to go through as much of the first section as they can- Room by Room. Who knows, maybe we'll be the first group to actually get through every room in the entire dungeon.
Only problem the group has had so far really was getting hit by the acid arrow trap (without moving off of the presure plate) and getting jumped by the two darkmantles from 15 while sitting outside of 13 arguing with each other.
Greatly enjoyed the adventure so far. Next session I think I'll begin using the encounter conditions every other encounter or so and see how that works. The only alteration I'm planning on makeing thus far is that I'm almost certainly going to replace some of the darkmantles, rats and rat swarms as they are already getting repetitive. And I also added the Lantern archon as a source of information (Infernal incursion...and handed out the player map).
Thanks for the great material ...
