Sorry if I missed it in the mag, but how many fanatics are there in room 2 of the Dark Cathedral?
Woo hoo, I received #125 today, a week faster than I received #124!
Since it's supposed to be an EL 3 encounter, and the cultists are CR 1/3, there should be 6 of them. (3 1/3CR creatures = EL 1; double that makes EL 3.)
Actually, I think the rule of thumb for groups of EL 1 monsters is that they add linearly, so it takes three EL 1 groups to equal an EL 3. In other words, you need nine CR 1/3 monsters for an EL 3.

You're right. Looking at the table on p. 49 of the DMG, it takes 7-9 CR 1/3 cultists to make an EL3 encounter.
