If you wanted to replace one of the A-modules with U3 you could then say one of the primary purchasers of the lizardfolk slaves are the sahuagin. If you make the slavers part of the Scarlet Brotherhood, they could be temporarily ignoring their humans-first philosophy to have the sahuagin sweep in and attack Saltmarsh and neighboring coastal towns to undermine local government and have people turn to the SB's for help.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
