Hiro Protagonist

I ran the Rattling Wind for a group of new players and two characters were dying/dead before they could act. Any advice for making it less lethal? Maybe a better introductory adventure?

Any idea when the premade investigators will be available online?

Ah, okay, thanks all. I must have missed or misplaced the premade characters then. I'll look around for them. 

Just checking, I noticed the handouts PDF listed for the game was supposed to include premade investigators, but I didn't see any. Was that an error or am I only supposed to get those if I buy the PDF version? It will change if I get it through the store or my FLGS.

I was looking for some premade characters to introduce people to Runequest. I know that the Quick start has some, but I was hoping to find characters I could use for the Gamemaster Adventures or the recent scenario packs. The Gamemaster Adventures book says it has premade adventurers, but I was unclear which of the NPCs were appropriate for them, if any, or if the scenarios have characters to give to newer players.
