Shortening CotCT (Spoilers Ahoy!)

[DM_aka_Dudemeister]

I'm looking to run a campaign soon, but don't really want to run through all 6 adventures of an AP. I noticed that CotC ends at around the level 10 mark in Escape from Old Korvosa.

Is there any way to run this as a complete campaign in 3 adventures?

You'd want to have the showdown with I. to end the campaign. In Escape you rescue N. and V., you could say that gives the players the political muscle to move against I.

Use the castle map from Crown of Fangs, change up the monsters, and let the players attack the castle and I directly after Escape.
