I am tweaking parts of the Asmodean Knot and am hoping to get feedback others who have ran or played it already. Our group only has 3 players, so I gave them the option of starting with an extra NPC level or extra gold to give them a boost. Also, I added a few extra encounters/challenges, some of which I didn't expect them to fully defeat, so they've wound up even more ahead of the curve (which didn't prevent one PC death during the play). The PCs are:
Ftr4/Brb1/War1 with a focus on sunder and adamantine lucrene hammer
Alch5/Exp1
Clr5 (about to level up) with Wisdom 23 from starting middle-aged
1. Grey Metal Entry Doors
2. Elandriu
3. Entry Hall Alcoves
4. Howlers
There is more, but this seems like plenty for one post.

5. Szasmir
Anyway, Sian took some mental ability score damage when she entered, and the Anvengen spirit fragments used that energy to create the glaive just a day or two ago. I'm thnking that Szas and Elan chatted with each other since they were each other's only company for the past few decades, so Szas grew agitated when Sian killed Elan and took him away, so he used the glaive to chop open the door.
Szas has lost his mind, so now he stands guard over the cells hoping to regain the favor of his long-dead master Vheed and prevent any other intruders from releasing the remaining prisoners (which are all dead but Szas has started talking to them since Elan was taken away). He will probably attack the Cleric of Cayden on sight for being on the opposite side of things as Asmodeus, be wary of the Fighter til he has reason to fight, and perhaps be curious about the Alchemist who probably appears to have a similar style as the experimental sorcerer Vheed.
