Wrath as a sequel to Shackled City spoilers for both

[Coridan]

I have yet to take a good look through WotR but plan on using it as a followup to Shackled City. Was wondering if anyone had tips (JJ especially) on integrating Graz'zt/Athax into the storyline.

Wow...

It's been a LONG time since I've had my head in Shackled City. I do know that since Wrath of the Righteous...

Spoiler:

...features a lot of demodands in its penultimate adventure...

...that gives a good thematic tie to Shackled City right there. But frankly... I think adding Graz'zt and his family into the adventure would over-clutter it. Wait and see what's going on when all 6 are out... there's a LOT going on.

Thanks, I figured I would need to wait til all six were out. I was hoping Socothbenoth would be involved in the AP so I could just swap him, but I already know he doesn't feature. Wondering how much work it would take to swap Deskari for Athax.

Man, Shackled City. That's a blast from the past.

[Vhalantru]

Tell me about it.

...literally.

Perhaps the death of Adimarchus weakened the fabric of reality between the prime and the Abyss paving the way for Deskari to make his move. Perhaps Deskari IS Adimarchus and the locust host is more a swarm of chittering madness...

I was kind of hoping my players would fail in foundations of flame since then I could simply place the worldwound where Cauldron used to be lol.

I think I may end up having Athax replace Baphomet and Graz'zt himself replacing Deskari, with Nocticula as Athax's mother.
