Another great episode. And this is exactly how I am following up The Lost Mines of Phandelver.
My players liked their characters so much that several of them wanted to continue with them after LMoP. I was going to go to Hoard of the Dragon Queen, but it's designed for characters 1-7 level, so I figured they would be too strong for most of that adventure. Besides, they really want to stay in the area. The Folk Hero wants to rebuild Thundertree. The Noble-background guy wants to continue to establish himself as a major player in Phandolin. The Bard (who replaced the ranger who fell to Venomfang) is a Harper who is *very interested* in what the Red Wizard was searching for at Old Owl Well, especially after finding a scroll and a map in the Wave Echo Cave seeming to concern an ancient lost race called the Netheril, and some place called Xinlenal, referred to as 'the city that fell from the sky'.
So...I'm leaving those characters around Neverwinter Wood. Next Sunday we start HotDQ with new characters and mostly new players. I'll continue off and on with the old characters and their ambitions for Phandolin and Thundertree. I'm going to start a new group of newbies at the local game shop actually in Neverwinter, starting as members of the city watch. I've got a couple of players who came up with a pair of half-orc half-brothers concept for a one shot game that they liked so much they ran in another one shot game, and then I liked them so much that they will be taking up residence around Triboar and continue with their own arc, building off of MT Black's 'Triboar Trilogy' adventure avaialable at DMs Guild. By the time the HotDQ characters get to Waterdeep at the end of HotDQ, I'll segue to Storm King's Thunder, and I'd love to do crossover with characters from all of these groups in SKT.
There is also the green dragon who fled from the original party when they chopped off his foot with a critical hit in Thundertree. He's still in the area somewhere, and boy, is he mad! He is definitely gonna show up again, and it would be cool if he shows up across several groups as a common threat in the area.
And add in the Netheril and Xinlenal. Mwa-ha-ha-ha.
