Let’s assume for the sake of discussion there is one cleric in the party.   Should they have LOTS of healing potions?  What’s your take on this?   Dave_in_TX

Seems like it will take a few hours to play through and there are plenty of spots for players to hunker down and heal up, if that's what they need. In any case, they're supposed to be third level at this point, so they should be pretty resilient.
