[QUOTE="robus, post: 6989898, member: 6801558"] I did my holiday reading and I'm definitely going to proceed with integrating the two. The connection point for my campaign will be Blagothkus. The PCs helped him regain control of his cloud castle and they left on amicable terms. The council will report that they've been trying to enlist the help of the giants but their embassies have returned reporting chaos in that world, Hekaton is missing and the ordning is broken. The PCs are tasked with finding Hekaton and bringing order to the world of giants so as to gain their aid in battling Tiamat. Blagothkus will take the place of Harshnag who is a "giant-ex-machina" in SKT anyway. Really, I was quite unimpressed when I read that once the players get bored at the end of chapter 3 the DM should airdrop in Harshnag to lead them into the next section of the story. Terrible plotting IMHO. I'm stripping out the whole raid the tombs to find bits and pieces in order to prove themselves, Blagothkus will provide assurances on their behalf. Once find out from the oracle that they need a conch, they'll choose the giant stronghold to infiltrate and head there. Iymrith (sp?) in dragon form will appear as they're about to leave the oracle and Blagothkus will do his best to hold her off - probably dying in the attempt. (as described in the book). So Oracle, Conch, Maestrom and Iymrith, and then the PCs will lead a cohort of giants back to Waterdeep ready to do battle with Tiamat and those nasty cultists. That will replace the Thay and Metallic Dragons chapters and actually be mission given by the third council. So my RoT campaign breakdown: First Council [INDENT] Sea of Moving Ice Varram First Cult Attack [/INDENT] Second Council [INDENT] Neronvain Xonthal’s Tower Second Cult Attack [/INDENT] Third Council [INDENT] SKT redux Third Cult Attack [/INDENT] Fourth Council [INDENT] Tiamat’s Return[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
