(Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I scanned the thread and didn't see anything about it.)
My group are going to finish Ravenscraeg in the next session or so and will soon be heading out over the Crown, so I've been looking over Hungry Storm.
Unless I'm reading something wrong, the caravan (and thus all its guards and NPCs) are with the PCs for every random encounter, and through the Uqtaal Necropolis too. If this is right, doesn't it significantly raise the parties chances of winning?
