[QUOTE="ShadowDenizen, post: 1910851, member: 16485"] Well, we ran a "playtest" the other night of the first few rooms of Region A. (Two of our 5 players were sick, but everyone was still revving to go, so I just scaled down the challenges some.) It was more to mesh our style of play together, as I'm a "rules-lite" kind of DM, and some of my players are more "rules-oriented." The two things that stood out to the players (in a positive way): A)the weary Orcs in Room A2: the party immediately attacked, and proceeded to take a hefty beating in return. They also almost killed the Lantern Archon that traveled with them. B) the trapped door leading to A4. The thief (who was supremely confident about finding traps: he even took the "Nimble Fingers" feat!!) proceeded to detect no traps and opened the door, only to find himself in the middle of a conflagration! Obviously, he wasn't REALLY expecting a trap so early in the Dungeon. More fool him! I expect them to fare (slightly) better with the two other party members when we reconvene. [/QUOTE]
