Re: Why adventuring parties?
Good question.
If the target is far off supplying a larger group can be more expensive then a small party.
Most people dont want that kind of work and using up your own troops can weaken you if enemies attack.
Discretion of adventurers vs, your own troops might be needed if retaliation is feared. Or fear of looking too powerful and a potential threat to the crown.
Monsters may have powers or get guards who have powers against large numbers. Terror, Swarms, Disease, parasites, even traps may be more effective against larger units.
Undead or others may convert troops so sending in a lot of troops without protection could be a problem.
