In my opinion, I would put the book itself down for a few sessions and either write or find a level appropriate adventure and reskin it to Icewind Dale's snowy aesthetic.Focus on tying the party together and then start to drop hints and plot details from Chapter 2+, returning to the book with the more linear storyline that comes after the Sandbox.What I would do from now until Chapter 2 would be to focus on the more fun and light hearted elements of D&D. Quirky NPCs, interesting dungeons, puzzles and loot; Rime is pretty bleak and perhaps a fun series of sidequests might help tie the party together.Another thing you could do instead, is to have a mid- campaign Session 0, discuss these issues and workshop some solutions. Perhaps you agree to a time skip, montage some of what they have seen, level them up and stick them in front of the "main questline" that manifests later in the book. A lot of people would be opposed to this but perhaps a small reset is what your camapign needs.</blockquote>
