Prisoners from Blackwall Keep are spirited away as per module, but some are handed off to orcs as part of a tribute to their might (and as a way to avoid them attacking the lizardfolk), so the PCs must infiltrate the stronghold, kill Thrull, and rescue the prisoners (and maybe fight a few orcish Kyuss spawns).I had to make some major changes to all of the modules and boxes I used, but that's the nature of the game.  I enjoy taking a great module, linking it to my current campaign, and putting my own spin on it.  It's a lot more fun than drawing a bunch of maps and toiling over stat blocks...  Well, I actually enjoy doing that, but it's too time-consuming.</blockquote>
