Determining Party Strength

Some adventures offer ways to adjust encounter for weaker/

stronger parties. D&D Adventurers’ League offers a formula for

figuring out whether/how to adjust:

Add up the total levels of all the characters and divide by

the number of characters. This is the group’s average party

level (APL). Party strength is as follows:3-4 characters, APL less than adventure Very weak3-4 characters, APL equal to adventure Weak3-4 characters, APL greater than adventure Average5 characters, APL less than adventure Weak5 characters, APL equal to adventure Average5 characters, APL greater than adventure Strong6-7 characters, APL less than adventure Average6-7 characters, APL equal to adventure Strong6-7 characters, APL greater than adventure Very strong

These adventures contain READ OUT TEXT (in

blue boxes) and SIDEBARS (green boxes), for the DM’s info only

Before We’re Bled DryLevel 1| Setting Neutral

Lena Meier

Brightcove, the village where the adventurers grew up, has been exploited by its ruling noble

family for as long as anyone can remember. Each year, their demands become more outrageous and harder to meet. The people have had enough. The party decides to take back the resources the nobles have been hoarding.

This setting-neutral adventure is optimised for four 1st-level characters.

adveNture baCkgrouNd

The small village of Bright-cove is located on the foot of a high mountain that casts its

shadow over the village, so natu-ral resources, specifically for ag-ricultural opportunity, are rare. For as long as anyone in Brightcove can remember, the village has been governed by the Gutliss noble fami-ly. They are the only ones who know

the location of the Greenstone, the source of the magic that is vital to Brightcove’s survival. Without the Greenstone’s nourishing magic, har-vests are almost always guaranteed to fail. The Gutliss family are the ones parcelling out this power to the villagers so they can tend the land and secure their livelihood—for a price. They have always demanded a percentage of everyone’s harvest as a tax for their portion of the Greenstone’s magic.

Over time, however, this percentage has grown larger and larger, and the magic the villagers have received in return has come in smaller and smaller rations. Even in small rations, the Greenstone’s magic fertilises the land, allowing the villagers to farm it and making life in Brightcove possible. By now, the villagers barely have enough on which to survive, and they need to give most of it to the Gutlisses to pay for next year’s magic ration. Now, the village’s finest (or most readily available) have had enough
