Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scrivener of Doom" data-source="post: 6474413" data-attributes="member: 87576">A quick warning: Keep on the Shadowfell is an epic bucket of suck. It sucks as hard as a Gygaxian bag of holding placed inside a Gygaxian portable hole: basically it creates a rift that sucks. And I really do wish I was indulging in hyperbole....With that warning out of the way, the basic story makes some sense especially if you tie it into the Eye of Myrkul adventure from Dungeon 73 (I'm going back to 2E here). Basically, some remnant of Myrkul's power still lurks in the Mere of Dead Men. What if that had been harvested and brought to the Neverdeath graveyard and now serves as the focal point for some ritual that will suck the souls out of the people of Neverwinter or something like that? However, you're really just going with a loose idea presented in Keep on the Shadowfell; there really is nothing else worth salvaging from that embarrassment of a product.Another route that makes a lot of sense in Neverwinter involves taking the core idea of 1E/2E's Ruins of Adventure - this was based on one of the early gold box CRPGs and was set in Phlan - and have the PCs clearing out the threats in each of the districts of Neverwinter. To be frank, that's been a large part of my ongoing campaign. Blacklake has been pacified. The Chasm is just about done, and then River District and its orcs will be the last one "domesticated" by the PCs.Ironically in the light of your interest in Night Below, my PCs managed to awaken a city of slumbering aboleth in the bottom of the Chasm - inspired by Golismorga in the Savage Tide adventure path - and the Paragon Tier will probably involve dealing with this threat of their own making.Anyway, thanks to [MENTION=3547]Matrix Sorcica[/MENTION] for the link to my blog; there's a fair bit there about Neverwinter (it's for 4E but there's also a lot of edition-neutral stuff) but I welcome the opportunity to bounce some ideas around if you are interested.</blockquote>
