After a couple of months away from the game due to me (The DM) going away to college, our group is getting together for a few more sessions of the SCAP before I leave.
I've been rereading the adventures (Life's Bazaar and Drakthar's Way) and have a few questions for all of you.
Now I started the party at 2nd level for various reasons including that I lower the gold they have and I thought the first adventure was killer.
The party looks like this:
Orc Fighter (Melee) 2
Half-Elf Fighter (Archer) 2
Dwarven Cleric of Luck 2
Dwarven Illusionist 2
Wild Elf Monk 2
Human Rogue 2
1. They are currently in Jzadirune. They are getting their butts kicked by the traps (bad rolls) and I fear that the endurance needed for Life's Bazaar isn't there. Did anyone else feel like the adventure seems really long and hard for the levels they are supposed to be.
Another note of worth, I do not allow the characters to level during the adventure. I run the training optional rules, so they need downtime.
2. Drakthar's Way also seems like it might be a little tough. Reading over the rest of the AP, I'm thinking of just having the PC's be one level above the suggested level. I say this becuase I tend to run my monsters, especially some of the ones presented in the AP, more intelligently then they are typically run, so they are more challenging. Would this be overbalancing? I was estimating the PC's to be level 21 before the final fight anyway.
Any help or advice would be apreciated.
