We are running Storm King's Thunder weekly and my party had just cleared out Ironslag. Now with this large forge fortress the asked if they can take over it and build a base of operations. One party member is a member of the Red Knight's church and wants to turn a wing of it into a church of those members. Some of them are Harper members and want to make it a place for them to meet as well. One member is a blacksmith as well.
I plan to let at least a month pass during this time to allow the fortress to be converted for their uses, but would like some extra ideas for downtime, either merchants coming in or cool little events to happen so next session is more roleplay heavy. I know this doesn't give a lot of info and if you want to know more before giving your ideas ask away. Got about 5 days till the next session, would love some random ideas, from encounters, to magic items for them to find in the hidden corners of Ironslag.

DM - Storm King's Thunder - Final Session this weekend
The UA Downtime rules are helpful, as posted above.
For my players (finishing Lost Mines of Phandelver, transitioning to Storm King's Thunder) I developed a simple list and just had people make applicable skill rolls for each 'month' (for you, probably use a tenday) to determine broadly how successful they were. I played it pretty freeform, which was a better fit for what I was going for. See here for what I provided to my players.
