This weekend, I plan on running the Encounter at Blackstone Keep adventure with my AoW group. Although I don't really have a problem with the first half of the adventure (except the map- see below), I was wondering if anyone would happen to know if it would be at all possible to instead replace the siege with part of the Base of Operations adventure from www.Wizards.com (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20001001a)? My current group, back when we first started playing D&D, ran through that adventure- and I thought it would be a neat thing to slip in (changing certain things, of course- like changing all of the orcs to Lizardfolk, for one). Any thoughts?
Second, I seem to have lost my map of Blackstone Keep (the one that came with the magazine). Does anyone know where I could at least find a picture of it (so I know how everything's oriented)? Any help would be appreciated.

I like that adventure; it was actually the one I used to kick off our still-going Eberron campaign in August 2003--stupidly going against recommendations and starting at 5th level.
I generally don't run the same players through any given adventure more than once, but that's up to you.
Regardimg the map, see: http://paizo.com/dungeon/messageboards/ageOfWorms/blackwallKeepTacticalMap
Hope that helps!
How much of Base of Operations do you intend to use in favor of Encounter at Blackwall Keep?
The biggest difference is that EaBK has the keep surrounded, and BoO has the keep inhabited by the bad guys. Plus there's the thing about the kyuss zombie in the basement and all.

That's true- if anything, I was going to use the map of the adventure, and just have the lizardfolk attacking it from the outside- unless someone knew of a good way to work it so that the lizardfolk were inside as well, as if they had gotten past enough of the defenses to get in. As for the basement, I could easily add some rooms to it.
