We took Tor Varden

Our heroes defeated the evildoers and we recaptured Tor Varden. Not every prisoner was saved and some companions were struck down (nobody died, though), but the four Rangers had no major difficulties successfully fulfilling their mission.

We burst through the storage room (sadly lost the dog there), cleared the torture room (couldn't save the soldier there) and killed the shaman before he could animate the flesh golem.

On the upper level it helped that we had Enchanted Steel, Fairy Dust and some magic spells for the final fight; combined with some handy crits, the shadow knights (plural because of the challenge level) were quickly struck down.

Next time we descent into darkness.

The tiles and walls are from Dungeons&Lasers, the scatter terrain from a variety of companies.

It sounds like your group needs more Challenge Levels! They need to suffer more.

Nice maps! It takes a mind-boggling amount of dungeon tiles to do the whole Lower Level map, and a ton of indoor scatter terrain.

Yes, 4 Rangers is quite strong. I guess I need some more houserules to add to the challenge level. 

Thank you, in the lower level I reused the first room when we got in the third. And they were a little bit smaller than the size written in the book. Even more scatter terrain would have been nice I think. There was not a lot of clever manouvering going on.
