    This is where my CR 1 Veterans might be too easy. On the other hand, maybe the point of this encounter is mostly just to see if the bell gets rung to warn the Town Hall that the PCs are coming? CR 1 can ring a bell just as well as CR 2.

    Also of note:

    I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.
    ... yes, I need to be tested for ADHD.
