I'm thinking of this sequence: 1) Bears and Bows 2) Haunted Tomb / Last Laugh 3) Necromancer's Cave 4) Bloody Treasure 5) Tomb of Moving Stones I'm not going to be running the main elemental evil adventure, though I may use a few bits and pieces here and there - like some of the more interesting side treks.
