They can covered about two thirds of region A, and a few rooms in B after 15 days of campaign time.And I have killed off 12 characters! This is strange for my group, there are 7 players, most of which have been showing up (I charged them AU$10 each to cover some of the costs of buying the adventure, they must want to get their money's worth), and they tend to min/max the characters to the nth degree.I have to admit on the third session the dice were running really hot, I was dealing out criticals all over the place. I killed bout six characters in that session alone!The last session I decided to go easy on them and fudge a few rolls so they wouldn't die as readily, but I still managed to kill off two PC's by accident.They are still mostly 2nd level, nearing third. I decided to hand out XP at the normal rate because the large group is diluting it, plus I want them up a few levels where they won't get killed off as easily on a single hit.Now if they would only learn the value of tactics and surprise. Most monsters hear and see them coming a mile off!I have been posting write-ups of the adventure <a href="http://www.evoker.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=27" target="_blank">here</a> if you would like to read them.</blockquote>
