[QUOTE="Zeromaru X, post: 9250403, member: 65487"] Your ideas are really good. I'm also using Lowtown as the attacked place exactly for the same reasons (is less defended, the high-money people of Fallcrest care little about it, etc.), but my idea is that Sinruth is a hobgoblin from the Daggerburg tribe that wants to strike on his own and made deals with orcs from Gardmore Abbey (justifying the orcs that appear later) and the wights living in Kalton Manor (the place is too perfect to not use it as Rivenroar's replacement). As for Overlook, I'll just use Hammerfast. I've always have added Overlook's stuff to Hammerfast, anyways, as I've always feel Hammerfast (as presented in the sourcebook) is way too small for housing 12000 inhabitants. Anyways, Bordrin's Watch would be located to the east of the Nentir Vale, protecting the Vale from the more dangerous creatures of the eastern Dawnforges. In my idea, Tusk is the leader of a small group of orcs who splinter from Bakrosh's horde (the orcs of Gardmore Abbey) due disagreements, and so Tusk went east to look for the orcs living there (as they can't deal now with orcs of the Bloodspears) - explaining why the attackers come from an outside area like in the original adventure, while leaving the Bloodspear horde, Bakrosh and Msuga free for future uses. I also like the idea of Sarshan being the main villain, or at least his own thing, to give him more agency, though I'm not sure if dropping the Githyanki plot entirely. [/QUOTE]
