We played both sets of solo quests with an experienced Elf/Barbarian accompanied by a new Female Elf/Barbarian. Another way to go would be to try them with four basic characters.

Taking on the likes of Zaranth, Sinestra, Dirgrust clan ogres and so forth are not missions to be taken lightly.

You would think that, yes. But the instructions within the Quest booklet says:
1. The Quests
The first 3 quests are solo adventures, designed for play by an elf alone. These can be used as an introduction to HeroQuest for a new player or as fun quests to play when only two players are available. Also, if a new Elf is to join a party of experienced characters, these three quests will enable the Elf to catch up to the other Heroes by gaining gold, equipment and magical items.
This last sentence sort of implies the Female Elf will be starting from scratch.

Yep, that's what it says....but it's complete nonsense!
