My problem is that they have all died because other players haven't been diligent.

<p>This may not be the right place to ask this bu does anyone know of/have and PbPs I could get in on?

<p>I am not convinced the CRs are right. Maybe I can get some help with this. A CR 7 and a CR 6 don't amke a CR 9. The CR 1 traps offer no challenge to the party and shouldn't fit into the equation. Even then, 4 CR 1 is a CR 5. So a 7, a 6 and a 5? Maybe. Seems weak.</p>
<p>The second encounter also, an 11, a 7, and a 5? With the open air, low AC and meh hit points, four 11th level characters would cakewalk all the way to the treasure and back.</p>
<p>I think the ice could have used a CR, too, but no PC is going out on it.</p>

<p>By the way, the description says that no one has returned from the depths of the ravine, but they have from the entrance...that doesn't seem too hard to believe, does it?</p>Steven T.

<p>YMMV.</p>
<p>Fair enough, but I never said anything about players venturing near the water section where the ice is really thin. I was really talking about the fact that a big enough player will go through at the edge but they might not necessarily know this and the most direct route to Hoarfrost would take them across the thicker ice. In fact, from almost all positions, going anywhere near the thinner ice would waste valuable time that PCs could spend attacking. </p>
<p>Also, what makes you think Hoarfrost would go anywhere NEAR the ice so you could melt it and drown him...he lives there, and therefore knows his ice. He's not a dope</p>There is open water visible on the map. My players don't have to "metagame" to know that ice is thinner near open sections, and to know that more weight upon it will make it crack.
YMMV.
