Random Encounters are still a problem

The initial impression of Lost Valley is really good overall, but I have to be frank and say that the random encounter thing needs to be fixed. I just ran into a Young Black Dragon at level 4. Half my party instantly died to its acid breath. Some encounters shouldn't be possible to run into below certain levels. 


Typos happen. More so on the phone.

Can't believe how even a party composed entirely of top-notch crack Rangers can end up being surprised whilst encamped.... is this a bug?

Just ran into a Crimson Spider with 3 Spiderlings helping it... at level 4. That's a CR 5 creature and 3 CR 2 creatures, meaning the game decided to toss a CR 11 encounter against a level 4 party. No mods and regular 27 point buy characters.

@Tactical_Myzzrym Is there a chance we can get a rebalance of the random encounters at low level? Between this and the dragon I ran into before, it is getting absurd how unfair things get.

I think this is fine provided there is a way to run away.

I think if the party makes it to a zone exit they can get away.

They can't. At least we haven't found a way to 'activate' the zone to let us leave. Putting all 4 characters in a zone does nothing.
