[QUOTE="WheelsOnMeals, post: 4265688, member: 67723"] I'm planning on starting in Fallcrest with Kobold Manor from the DMG (as mentioned above) to get the party to level 2 before Irontooth. Just a general hook about trade between Fallcrest & Winterhaven being completely shut down (by Kobold Manor at one end & Irontooth et al at the other). Then I'll stack the three hooks from the module (as needed) with different party members to get them to Winterhaven. If the party still gets TPK'd, I'll go the capture route. If they haven't done the dragon burial site before that point, they'll wake up to find Douven in goblin jail with them. He'll be dragged off, tortured, and sacrificed to Orcus. The players get to find a corpse in the 2nd to last encounter. I'm also going to play up the mirror that Kalarel allegedly needs from the dragon burial site but isn't mentioned again. He'll use it to focus necrotic energy into the portal or something. If the players have it, they'll unwittingly bring it to him. If they sell it, Ninaren will buy it and bring it to him. If they never get it, Kalarel will just have it and no one will be the wiser. I don't get to start until 2 weeks from now (waiting for the core books), but I can't wait. [/QUOTE]
