My 2nd Level NPC party was an easy one to come up with, because Frank Mentzer did all the work.
If you've got the Mentzer Basic Players Book, you've got these guys. I just took the nameless Fighter from the tutorial and the pre-rolled characters from the center of the book (p. 34), and the names provided in the section on level titles for each class. Because they're all using the 2nd level titles, I bumped the pre-gen stats up to level 2. Voila.
Other than giving everyone an extra hit die, and spells for Clarion the Adept, Felonious the Seer, and Belrain the Warrior-Seer, it's all the same as what's in the book. Also, unlike with the Level 1 roster, where I plan to just pick 4-6 of the guys on the list at any time, these seven would always be encountered together.
