What adventure should I run after Orcs of Stonefang Pass?

[Rastrilo]

Here's what my group of Essential players have run so far:

The Slaying Stone
Reavers of Harkenwold
Cairn of the Winter King (Currently running, 2 encounter left)
Orcs of Stonefang Pass (Starting soon)

My players are level 5 and will probably be 6 or 7 by the end of Orcs of Stonefang Pass.

I've been searching for a few days for the next adventure. I really like the newer adventures because the encounters seem much more varied, deadly, and don't seem to drag on (probably because of the newer monster stats). Previously, I've run Keep on the Shadowfell (hated it), and King of the Trollhaunt Warrens (it was okay but I cut out a lot of boring looking encounters). I looked at Pyramid of Shadow but I don't think my player or I want to spend 3 levels in a massive 30+ encounter dungeon crawl. Also, updating the monsters seems like a lot of work.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

I don't know what to tell you. You might check out the adventures in Dungeon. I would keep away from the Pyramid of Shadows unless your players love interesting encounters with little plot.

Without a doubt, I'd go with Last Breath of Ashenport. It is right around that level and is fricking awesome. You can find it in the DDI archive -- it was one of the earlier adventures, but is superbly written.

All that would need to be done is update the monsters to the current damage/iterations.

My group did Stonefang and I'm planning to run Lord of the White Field next. Seems like a fun break from fighting Orcs.

Def. review the encounters in Stonefang...some of them can be crushingly powerful depending on your group. Also, probably nice to make the ties between the Severed Eyes from HS1 to the Severed Eyes in HS2.
