[QUOTE="Napftor, post: 986032, member: 617"] You've got a good mix of module types in there, Curtis. Might I suggest sprinkling in some foreshadowing elements once you have a main bad guy. For example, let's use the destroyed vampire-dragon mentioned in Black Ice Well. I know nothing about the adventure, but the overarcing plot on the continent could be that a clan of dragons (or dragon-men or cultists, etc) are trying to reassemble key body parts that will return the dragon to undeath. The demons, after destroying the vamp dragon, disperse the main body parts across the continent and mutate the animals, and so forth, to protect them from being retrieved. Using the dragon to wreck the boat in the beginning would be a great start for such a plotline. The lost second explorer's journal entries may indicate he was on to this plot by the vamp dragon minions and thus point the PCs in a direction at a crucial stage in the campaign. Heck, the demons that destroyed the vamp dragon may even make an appearance or two to help the party thwart the vamp dragon's cronies (that would be something>PCs working with demons!). The vamp dragon's bits wouldn't need to be completely inactive either. Your grippli's, for example, may be driven to unspeakable acts once every season due to the close proximity of the bamp dragon's brain or something. Naturally, this would be the same time as the PCs visit. The grippli believe the atrocious day is a natural part of their life cycle, but something tips off the party that it is not. Anyway, just some thoughts here. Use at your own discretion. ;) [/QUOTE]
