I took out the following battles in order to stop the TPK syndrome associated with this module. You’re party is level 1-2 through this whole thing anyway, so they shouldn’t have so much hurt this early on. Also, if you’re sticking to a smaller party like I previously recommended, the fights will already be harder on them.
