Planning my campaign (renamed from "Need a 1st level adventure")

Well, all the strong recommendations for The Slaying Stone are swaying me that way. Probably for the better...otherwise it'd be Duergar overkill.

So, now I'm thinking:
Level 1: The Slaying Stone
Level 2: Reavers of Harkenwold, part 1
Level 3: Reavers of Harkenwold, part 2
Level 4: Village of Hommlet
Level 5: Orcs of Stonefang Pass
Level 6: Dead by Dawn (supersized)
Level 7-8: ?
Level 9: Tomb of Horrors, Ch1 (1 level early) dropping Tomb of Horrors (4E conversion)
Level 10: Touch of Madness
Level 11: Depths of Madness
Level 12: (cont)
Level 13: Brink of Madness

The first 4 levels should keep me busy for the next 4 months. Hopefully I can sort out the mid-heroic tier by then.

For level 7/8 - I've heard good things about The Last Breaths of Ashenport from Dungeon 156. Might be worth checking out (it's by Ari, same as the new Tomb of Horrors)

I think doing a leveled up Dead By Dawn is a great idea. Characters are so tough by then that you can really throw alot at them and not worry too much...

Looks like Fortress of the Yuan-Ti is about two levels long. If I want to keep Ashenport (and I do!) I may need to adjust the former to levels 6-7 and nix the project to beef up Dead by Dawn.

Or you can maybe trim some encounters from Fortress? I'm not familiar with the module so not sure if it's possible, but it usually is in many WotC adventures.
