Chapter 9: Glorium Part 2
Saving Glorium from Gargauth's grasp will involve a tense race against time to unravel a fiendish plot before Glorium and Grakenok erupt into hostilities.
Chapter 9: Glorium Part 1
Glorium fits into our scheme in a wonderful way. The written scenario is a one-off excursion, so it's quite easy to adjust a few details and add onto the intrigue and tension in the gate town.
Chapter 8: Faunel - Vicious Alliances
The Faunel excursion is an evocative location that feels the most plane-touched of the gate towns. It's an interesting mix of politics with a fun hunt for the bad guy. We can easily add some nuanced intrigue while tying it into our grand scheme.
Chapter 7: Excelsior - Lost Souls
The excursion to Excelsior is not the strongest scenario in the adventure book. With just a few adjustments we can smooth some of the rough edges and shape it into an evocative investigation.
Chapter 6: Curst - Invisible Bonds
The escapade in Curst with Valder and Fellik is one of the best out of all the Outlands scenarios. It's a great breakout scenario that packs an emotional punch. It also doesn't take much to tie it into the rest of the scheme we've developed.

Automata is a natural first destination once the characters are in the Outlands. It's essential to the mystery we've created, and it's a great spot to kick off the rest of the exploration.

The Walking Castle scenario is a great introduction to the Outlands and beyond. It’s fun, flavorful, and the battle with the fiends is interesting and challenging. There’s only a few tweaks we need to make to bolster the rest of the adventure.
Part 2: The Mosaic Mimir

Chapter 3: Fortune Favors the Bold
The characters arrive at Fortune’s Wheel, the major inflection point of the adventure. There’s a lot of dials we can turn here to give the adventure momentum going into Part 2.

The Broken Mimir (Planar Philosophers)
This scenario is driven by the broken mimir clue, but it can also develop organically if Parisa guides the characters to a market or other public facing place. They will uncover information about the scheme they are involved in and details that will point them to Spiral Hal’oight.

The Bar Tab (Sensory Experience)
This scenario in the expanded adventure arc inside of Sigil brings the characters into the Smoldering Corpse. They will arrive here if they investigate the bar tab they found in their belongings. We can also run the Sensory Experience scenario, modified to fit into this arc.
