You have to tweak it to suit your group, and your DMing style. I'm a player in HotDQ. Just finished chapter 3. Ever since I saw that massive dragon flying over Greenast and not laying waste to the town or raising the keep, I've been trying to unravel what is going on. Sure, it was an intimidating opening scene, but that only made it more fun. As a veteran player I knew there could not be design intent for the PC's to directly fight the blue dragon. In our game the DM had the blue dragon return and "inspire" us to get the eggs held by the cult, rather than Leosin. And there is a drow faction courting us. But our DM is starting to go off the rails.  My best suggestions for the OP are the following:1)Add a religious leader and/or merchant in the keep. Give the PC's someone else to interact with and get info. Also a way for players to get access to healing.2)Make that dragon a talker. Don't miss out on the opportunity to mock those pathetic PC's. Potential for good RP, and perhaps PC's can learn something about the cult if they are clever3)Read all the reviews and blogs about the raider camp. Put some thought into how you want to run it or it can turn out to be a confusing mess. Walking in to the camp as a player just did not make sense to me. Our group ran a number of raids against the cult. We took Izzek prisoner, very briefly, fought the duel with Cyanwrath, and Escobar the Red was in the camp as a double agent (and at the time we believed he was truly a traitor). Too many people recognized us for my PC to believe we could just walk in. Our DM even had undercover cultists watching the mercenaries when we infiltrated the camp. As a player, I really struggled with the camp.</blockquote>
