Questions:
What is the next bit, so that we can help. Is it the beginning of the Keep itself?
That's probably next on their agenda. The kobolds want to reclaim the keep dungeons they were kicked out of by the goblins. When this happened, there was a split in the tribe, some joining up with the dragon from the DMG and eventually Irontooth and the rest going to Gorizbadd where they met the PCs and got their brand new shiny Iron Guardians. And two sessions ago, there was a rift that opened up, causing nasties to spill into the world temporarily. Through private research and talking to various npcs )Read: a session long skill challenge, they learned that what they saw was a sort of "cosmic echo" of something bigger that someone is attempting to create which was sent back in time. This sort of thing is probably going to keep happening.
What gonzo cinematic action did they actually do?
My favorite of which was the Paladin whispering blessings on the halfling as she threw him at two demonic kobolds while holding two vials of holy water. I used a version of the combined attack rules that druids are fond of and let him use sneak attack damage on both enemies.
Ninaren had been working undercover to find the source of the cult and was acting like a dick because he didn't want the PCs to blow his cover.
How are the PCs moving the Orcus statue around?
The Orcus statue conveniently shrunk down in size and weight the first time someone said something aloud about the possibility of transporting it. I'm sure that's a cooincidence.
Do the PCs hate Kalarel yet?
Oh yeah.

Though they hate the Necromancer woman more.
Here's my ideas for the next session:
I may have the dragon from the aforementioned DMG adventure make an appearance next time, possibly in the vein of, "we'll help you take the goblins if you help us cement our position of authority among the kobolds of the area. "
The PCs found a refugee from an attacked caravan who is currently tied to a slab in a jail cell after the temple staff were unable to do anything with his constant attempts at self harm and quoting what seems like jibberish. In two days if the PCs don't deal with him, it will be midsummer, (when the Raven Queen is weakest) and the fact that his jibberish and self harming are a rather elaborate ritual to raise the dead from the cemetery will be made rather obvious.
