Deadliness of starting adventure
Posted: Tue 27 Apr 2021, 09:49
Hi
Recently been running the first adventure from the starter set “darkness dwells”.
The enemies appear to be seriously overpowered and it’s very difficult to negotiate your way out -the party are at risk of being wiped out in first combat which feels harsh! am I missing something? It feels to me like the adventure is somewhat of a lesson - shouldn’t that allow the players to fail trying but without instant death?Any thoughts?
