So I'm contemplating basically blowing this module to smithereens. I've already deviated quite a bit from the module. The party just fought a couple of dragons fighting in league with the cult. They killed one of the Wyrmspeakers and got the blue dragon mask. (But lost the green one.) Varram got feebleminded but I might come up with ways to delay the party's getting the knowledge about the white mask and heading for Diderius' tomb to allow for Varram to have made his save against it after another 30 days. (NPC feebleminded him.)
But I kind of want to just blow it up further. My thought is to steal the Chroma Conclave arc from CR. The conclave realizes what is happening and they reallly really don't want Tiamat back. My thought was that maybe these five have been on Tiamat's bad side for a couple centuries and really really don't want her to come because they might lose territory they've claimed for themselves. So they attack Waterdeep or some other big city to declare their intention (when the characters are around level 13 which they just got to 7 so it's a bit away). And then they've gone and wrecked the cult's operations at the Well of Dragons. (Or they do it the other way and wreak havoc at the well first unbenkownst to the party and then attack whatever city the party is in.)
So they stopped the rise of Tiamat but they're now the big threat for them to deal with. I'd even steal some of the vestiges from the Tal'dorei campaign setting and maybe create some of my own for the party (paladin and two rogues right now since I killed my DMPC that I ran to give balance to the party but might bring another one in for myself that's a druid or give the pally a sidekick). What do y'all think about this? Does it make sense for chromatic dragons to want to prevent their queen from exiting Avernus?
