A quick one-shot with the Saturday night group. Encounter difficulty based on CR is an illusion. All that matters is position, surprise, and initiative. Just kidding, but seriously, PC power levels can vary significantly.
The one shot plan I had needs to be refined before I post it here, but that will be coming to supporters soon.

Searching for more information about the lay of the land around the bugbear crag, the party ends up ambushing a patrol, but when the ambush doesn't get surprise, the battle is far more even than intended.
