Greetings all,
First time poster here. I have a group that finished the Grasp of the Emerald Claw adventure and the preceeding adventures in that campaign. The group sits around 9th level and I just happen to have the Champion's Belt adventure, which I am very much impressed with. My question to all is how difficult would it be from those who have DMed the AoW to transition from these adventures into AoW starting at 9th level. The party has no interest whatsoever in starting back at one and would greatly enjoy continuing their characters. Besides seeking an answer to my question, I guess you could say that I seek advice as to whether or not this is a wise course of action considering how much of the adventure the party will miss. My solution thus far in my own mind is for one of the party, a recent addition, to be a part of the other group that includes Celeste (I believe that's right). This character worked with the group for awhile and then broke off once he determined that they worked with a powerful wizard. Also, I had contemplated combining the Champion's Belt and the Hall of Harsh Reflections into one adventure of sorts so that the players could run through both but receive the same amount of experience as if they had only played the Champion's Belt. This would work best for me considering that in Eberron I was going to transition Free City into Sharn and the party would returning from Xen'drik.
Thoughts?
