Challenges

In this thread, I'll post the details about the challenges the PCs are facing. For this adventure, that's mostly monsters and traps, but I'd also put skill challenges here.

I will put the information in spoiler blocks, but anyone is allowed (though not obligated, of course) to view them at any time. As a DM, I don't see a lot of benefit to keeping secrets from players, and I find that players who know what's going on tend to be more engaged and creative.

Please don't reply to this thread.
