Running Falcons Hollow

Hey guys and gals! I am currently coming out of RP/GM retirement and running some peoples through the Falcons Hollow landscape. Now I dont want to run it 100% as module says. And was wondering if anyone has deviated.

Im looking to get to know Andoran and the northern landscape more intimately with this lead in module. But was wondering if you guys have any ideas on some things to change or spice up.

Which of the Falcon's Hollow modules are you talking about? All of them, or just one?

Just to be sure, let me try to make a list:
Hollow's Last Hope.
Crown of the Kobold King.
Carnival of Tears.
Return of the Kobold King.
Hungry are the Dead.

These 5 modules would make one campaign. They're written for 3rd edition D&D as the core rulebook wasn't published yet. As such, it's best to run them using the fast progression.

There's an Imp named Sithmuck in Crown of the Kobold King. You might want to introduce him a bit earlier. Also, it says he has taken the shape of a hawk with a broken wing. That's just silly for 2 reasons. The first is that Imps can't take the form of a hawk. (Except for the Imp Consulars.) The other reason is that the people in Darkmoon Vale have a thing for falcons. Not that Imps are able to transform into falcons, but I guess that you've got to bend the rules every now and then. Wolves are generally disliked.
Sithmuck's Change Shape ability is a bit complicated. If you read the Transmutation/Polymorph section of the Magic chapter and the Beast Shape I spell from the Core Rulebook and the Change Shape rules from the Bestiary you should be fine.
Other than that, just use the random encounters that you like. It would be a bit repetitive to use both the firefoot fennec encounter and the Sithmuck encounter, so you'd want to at least put some time between those encounters.
One of the problems with this campaign is that the party has to go to Droskar's Crucible 3 times. (In Hollow's Last Hope, Crown of the Kobold King and in Hungry are the Dead.) You can skip a major part of Hollow's Last Hope by adding the encounters in that module to Crown of the Kobold King. There's a Pathfinder Society Adventure with a similar plot that also happens around Falcon's Hollow so maybe that's a good substitute.
