Eldritch Lairs

I have a quick question. Im thinking about purchasing the Eldritch Lairs pack on the market, and i was wanting to know if anyone knows about the average length of one of the lairs? would they be enough to cover at least 4 hours of game time?

I’m running one right now and we didn’t finish in 4 hours; had to schedule a follow up session...depends a bit on the group as well...

how many in your group and which one was it?

I have run three lairs out of the pack (Pit of the Dust Goblins, Crypt of Green Shadows, and Carrion Shrine of Qorgeth) and none of them were done in four hours. With the traps and branching paths, there are a lot of choices for the players, which leads to a fair amount of discussion (which door should we tackle first, etc.). Most of the encounters are also pretty tough for the average party level, if you play the monsters right. In sum, I'd say one of the above adventures should at last well over four hours.

The Leystone of the Indigo Star.

If you are looking for a set of fully prepared old skool drop-in dungeons nothing can beat the value of Eldritch Lairs. The encounters are all deadly, but if your are prepared to adapt on the fly, each of the 8 dungeons can be made fit two-to-eight hours of playtime. Fitting = adapting monsters or skipping certain encounters.

I've ran a few of them and they've on average for my groups taken two 3 hour sessions, with us normally finishing them off in around 5-6 hours each time. These are the one's I've ran: Blood Vaults of Sister Alvaka Palace of the Wind Lords Leystone of the Indigo Star I'd say that Palace of the Wind Lords can be done in 3-4 hours depending on which route the part take, the other two more likely to often take 5+ hours though.

Thanks for the heads up about timing.  I just bought the pack and was thinking 1 3 hour session during my read through but I guess I was a little aggressive that way. I was getting Blood Vaults of Sister Alkava setup and I was surprised by a couple things.  Some of the tokens are just words.  So I found some character art and made proper tokens for the Wights, Skeletons, Zombie Ogre, a critter I don't remember, and Vampire Spawn. Also there was some things missing or mislabeled.  It's not a huge deal but I put them on the map properly and just have to remember that I think 3D is actually 3C or something like that.  There is one section either missing or it's mislabeled.  The story looks pretty good for a one shot though and so with a few fixes I'm sure my players will have a good time.  For the price you pay for 8 stories I'm not complaining because the story and the map is good value all things considered, was just a little surprised when I had to go put on some of those finishing touches.
