Hello,
I'm running Shackled City (SCAP) now, and am not really interested in running an undead heavy campaign like Age of Worms (I've done that before).
However, I'd like the help of the lords of the boards here, to see if several chapters of AOWAP would be suitable to do an epic mini arc to stop Kyus after my SCAP wraps up.
Rather just buy the last adventure and alter to run it, I'd like to lead into it, which brings me to my questions:
Which Adventures would be best to vamp up to Epic?
Which Adventures are most important to the story arc?
I have none of the issues, and would like to buy as few as possible (that I won't be using the adventures from).
Thanks!

I'm have way through the campaign, so I may be a bit off. But, it seems to me that the most important adventures are:
In addition, the adventure Kings of the Rift (just before Into the Wormcrawl Fissure) seems pretty epic (Giants vs Dragons!) and helps lead into Into the Wormcrawl Fissure.
Something to consider: Perhaps the Age of Worms has already happened in your campaign. As they celebrate saving the world from Carceri, green worms begin to rain down - slowly at first, but increasing in number. They'd have to go to the Spire of Long Shadows to find out what is going on, go Into the Wormcrawl Fissure to defeat their enemy's single most powerful minion, and the go into Dawn of a New Age, where Kyuss has set up his throne. The various mini-quests at the begining of Dawn... would be to weaken the protections around his tower, instead of to weaken him personally, perhaps.
Spire of Long Shadows - This shows the originals of Kyuss
Into the Wormcrawl Fissure - Deals with Kyuss's most powerful minion
Dawn of a New Age - Deals with Kyuss and the dawn of the Age of Worms In addition, the adventure Kings of the Rift (just before Into the Wormcrawl Fissure) seems pretty epic (Giants vs Dragons!) and helps lead into Into the Wormcrawl Fissure.
Thanks for the list. Do you think Spire would be difficult to scale up (or would I have to completely alter it) and still keep all that background. I could leave hints to send them after Dragotha here as the next step (or send them to figure out where his Phylactery is) thus into Kings of the Rift.

Yeah, I planned on them stumbling into it already underway. I'm not sure if I want to rain Kyus worms down on the Amedio jungle region, unless that is called for in the modules...?
I feel like the Dracolich in ItWF is easily scaled to epic.
I would think Dawn of a New Age is practically epic, just scale the opponents up some.
After reading the AoW Overload, I'm thinking I might introduce Lashonna as a Sage who occassionally stops through Cauldron (like for the Demonskar Ball), and set her up as an ally early on, to send them after Dragotha's phylactery.
I also plan to leave some clues to Dragother being linked to the Ebon Triad in SCAP's Flood Season, just to plant their tangent (in this AP) connection to Kyuss.
Thanks for the suggestions, anyone else have ideas?
