Sepulchrave II
Legend
I think that the implicit assumption that "Adventuring Parties" are kind of common has been around for a long time.
The 1e DMG has groups of human characters as one of the most common random encounters; B/X explicitly calls out "Adventurers (NPC Party)" in its random encounter tables, with 1 in 20 of all wilderness encounters falling into this type.
