Just looking for a little advice. My party has just finished playing through the LMoP (supplemented by the AL adventures Shadows over Moonsea/Dues for the Dead/Weirding Vats). They are at L5 now. I dont really want the first part of Hoard of the Dragon Queen to be an "end run" or Blitz, but also I dont want them to have to wait 6 episodes to level up again. What have people done to blend these two/solve this problem?
Many thanks!

You could probably have Black Spider be associated with the Cult of the Dragon. It's been a while since I've done LMoP, but if I remember right there's supposed to be an Order of the Gauntlet guy, who could probably send your party on a mission to Waterdeep or something similar. You could probably skip the first few chapters and go straight into either Episode 4 or 5 in HotDQ.
What I did was I changed the town that gets attacked at the beginning of HotDQ to Phandalin and the dragon that aids with the attack be Venomfang, the green dragon from Thundertree (if he's still alive in your campaign). I sprinkled in a few other hints that they might be encountering dragon cults in the near future over the course of LMoP.
If anything, I'd just adapt Phandalin to be the town in the first chapter of HotDQ and go from there.
Thats an interesting angle....worth looking into....is there a way to link DotMM into all of this...possibly hiding one of the last dragon masks within the bowels of the lower dungeons with a race to locate it against the cults looking for it....just thinking outside the box. Ideas?
