Maybe sometime in the future I'll run this campaign, more or less because this entire campaign is like Hargulka's Monster Kingdom realized. If only Hargulka was half as clever as Azaersi.
Still, with as many campaigns as I'm running and playing in, it's likely to be years before I run this so I'm just keeping a notepad thread here on thoughts and possible expansions.
First thought:
- This would make a great Fablewood campaign. Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears are all simian animal-humanoids (monkeys, chimps and gorillas respectively), PCs could be classic anthro-animal characters. Get inspired by that old Disney Robin Hood
Just how clever is she, really?

Agreed. Giantslayer could have used the same, in fact, since it has a similar theme after the initial investigation is done (with a different outcome, flee vs. stay and fight). In either case, such a background could really invest the players in their characters and the town's plight would be more meaningful.

Yep. We are doing a play by forum backstory game before we start on April 12. This way
Everyone gets strong connection to town and npcs. Want the pcs to care, and be sad for any npcs losses.
Less info dump when we start for real.

This AP seems ripe for a level 0 prequel adventure where the PCs grow up as kids in the town, to really get the players to know some of the NPCs and invest in the town before it gets overrun.
I did exactly that, we finished this Friday. I just ran Crypt of the Everflame changing references from Kessen to Phaendar (that adventure is actually placed in Nirmathas already). Easy-peasy.
