Mine was a battle against a rival gang (we are working with them for backstory reasons), they had a manticore and we are level 3 so it was intense. Most of us finished with 2 or so hp! But looking forward to finally be level 4 after a year.
You guys must play rarely for being level 4 after a year ?
To give you an idea, I play every week and my players are around level 13 after 2 years. But they started level 3 true.
