Message: <blockquote data-quote="Demetrios1453" data-source="post: 9343380" data-attributes="member: 6801060">Some of us have it our physical hands as well!What I'm planning on doing is just move all the Neverwinter sections to Baldurs Gate, and run the first chapter of Descent into Avernus, interpolating the Nest of the Eldritch Eye among all the cult activity in that section (cultists of the Dead Three and of Tiamat, all of which are being played for patsies by the cult of Venca). After finishing that section at around levels 4 - 5, with what info they've gathered, they'll move to Chult instead of Avernus, as I'll be running the second half of Tomb of Annihilation, as Acererak's scheme there with the Soulmonger is actually to empower Vecna's ritual (which is what Alustriel felt, arousing her suspicions; I'll have the leaders of Baldur's Gate name-dropping Alustriel as having heard of what they've learned of Vecna, which will make her introduction and activities segue much easier when the main plot of V:EoR kick off).After some debate, I chose Baldurs Gate over Neverwinter simply because it's a better-developed location in 5e for the characters to explore and interract with, and because it will take less work to change a few names/locales in Neverwinter to Baldurs Gate than vice versa.I'm also thinking about not having Mordenkainen/Kas know exactly where the first piece of the Rod is, and so the party will have to venture to the Plane of Air to gain the help of the Wind Dukes of Aaqa. I'll probably have them state they can construct an item that can track down the first piece, but need something or somethings to create it. I'm leaning towards needing a piece of pure elemental ice from the Frostfell/Paraelemental Plan of Ice, guarded by cold-associated creatures such as winter wolves, frost giants, and white dragons. Since Tomb of Annhilation features the Ring of Winter, perhaps that can be used as well (temporarily until the first piece is found and the tracking item is no longer necessary) as a component.</blockquote>
