[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6826482, member: 6702445"] So I'm about halfway through [i]Rise of Tiamat,[/i] and I'm thinking about what to do after it finishes. I'd like to take the PCs up to level 20 because this is our first chance to find out how high-level play goes in 5E. I'm debating between repurposing the Doomvault from [i]Dead in Thay[/i] or trying to rework [i]Out of the Abyss.[/i] (Note, I haven't had a chance to read either adventure in detail, so I just know the basics of both.) Both should require some scaling up to challenge a high-level party, so work should be about equal there. * Which do you think would be easier? * Which would fit better with the [i]Tyranny of Dragons[/i] storyline? If I do the Doomvault, I was thinking that during the mission to Thay, the Red Wizards could demand a favor in exchange for their aid in the fight against Tiamat and the Thayan Exiles: the services of an elite party to do a mission of their choosing, once the immediate crisis is over. But what would that favor be? Why would they want to send the group into the Doomvault, and what sort of things would be waiting for them there? If I do OotA, I'm less sure of how to tie it to Tiamat. She's imprisoned in the Nine Hells, but isn't it mostly devils who want to keep her there [i]or[/i] who want to get rid of her? What's her relationship to the demon lords? Could they have been loosed somehow at the same time Tiamat was summoned? [/QUOTE]
