At this point, it's worthwhile noting that M&T p3 specifies: Medusae: Number Appearing: 1--4.
Since it is generally thought that M&T's Number Appearing stats are intended for outdoor encounters only, DD4 "hacks it" into explicit numbers encountered, and numbers in lair. I.e., the DD4 Compendium p86 has Medusae: Number Appearing 1--4, and Number in Lair 1--4.
However, DD5 (and hence our current Hinterlands play) uses a more "correct" procedure for determining the number of monsters encountered underground, per U&WA p11--12.
This is reflected in DD5 book2 WIP 20170320 p4, which shows Medusae as a Table IV monster, and p10 which shows that one Table IV monster occurs on dungeon levels 1 thru 4. Importantly, 4--6 players will bring double the basic number of monsters shown on p10. Therefore, a party of six players will attract two Table IV monsters on dungeon levels 1 thru 4.
Be aware that your dutiful referee chooses interpret the fixed "2 monsters" as implying the possibility of 1--3 monsters (yielding the required average of "2 monsters")...
