Well, this module has already lasted 17 months. But if you guys want to keep it going, go for it.

Alright. Then we'll wrap up, unless there are any more scenes anyone wants to do first.

Okay, XP is up. Taska and Jaxle leveled up, but as Dram has not posted in over two months, I think it's safe to say he's not coming back. I'll recruit to replace him when we're ready for the next module.
Taska and Krah are both available to become henchmen. However, a henchman cannot be the same or higher level than the PC who takes them. This means the only person who could take henchmen is Drezden, and as a ranger, he's not allowed to take any until 8th level. However, there's always a chance that Krah and Taska will show up again in a later adventure. I keep track of all the NPCs I create from these games (such as Gimak, Margarita, and Zedd from the last one), and will bring them back when appropriate.
Normally, this is the part where we'd discuss treasure splitting, but we already took care of that.
So we might as well move on to the next topic--what module to do next.
Now, the way it works is that when we start a new module you can either continue with your current character or roll up a new one. If you roll up a new one, your old character basically gets put into stasis. They remain there until you pull them out again, like if your new character dies or something, or for a later module. So you can have one character that you run through every module or develop multiple ones and switch them in and out between adventures.
So the first question is, do you want to continue with your current characters or make new ones?
Either way, the second question is do you want to continue playing in Forgotten Realms? If no, which setting would you prefer this time around?
If you do want to continue with Forgotten Realms, then my third question is, do you want to continue playing in the Frozenfar or move to another area? If the latter, do you have a preference of which area we should move to?
Based on the answers I get for these questions, I'll put together a short list of possible modules we can choose from.

Aargh! So close to levelling up on the cleric side!
Is there no chance of an extra award for clever ideas, roleplaying or perhaps casting a spell or two? I'm pretty pleased with figuring out the library myself.
As for what to play next - I'm happy to keep on trucking with Malavar and it would feel weird to transplant him to another setting. Malavar would be keen on returning to somewhere less cold and more civilized as soon as is practical, but one more module in Icewind Dale or nearby would be fine.

I plan to keep going with Drezden and as for FR I am a big FR fan so staying in it would be overly welcomed. However I am not opposed to moving elsewhere so long as it is not Ravenloft. If you have any setting neutral modules that would be fine as well. I can do some looking around and possibly have some suggestions later.

That's the downside to multi-classing, I suppose. Malavar would need another 122 XP to hit that level up. He only used Turn Undead once, right? Did he ever use Incite Berserker Rage? I'll go through my notes and see if I maybe missed anything.
As for the next module, I do have one idea so far. What do you all think about returning to the Dalelands? Specifically with the Sword of the Dales Trilogy. My reasoning being:
1.) Drezden seemed to be interested, if I'm remembering right, in helping Randal Morn reclaim his throne from the Zhent invaders and this trilogy does allow the PCs to help him do that. Plus, he may see some old faces from Doom of Daggerdale again. 2.) Daggerdale is warmer and more 'civilized' than Icewind Dale, so that fits Rax's criteria. 3.) While not a war exactly, Malavar--as a priest of Tempus--may be interested in helping Morn and his rebels fight against the Zhent invaders. 4.) The Sword of the Dales Trilogy takes place in the year 1369 DR. That's one year after where we are now, so it fits the timeline perfectly. We can say the party kind of makes their way toward the Dales over the next few months, taking on odd-jobs along the way, until they eventually reach Shadowdale (which is where the module starts). 5.) The module is designed for four to six characters of levels 1-4. Level-wise, that fits, we just need to recruit at least one more person.
The only downside is I can't think of a reason why Dallion might be interested. It has nothing to do with his people. We'd have to come up with a new motivation for him, since he took care of those orc bandits he was hunting already.
Also, this is a trilogy of modules. However, if the first one isn't well received, we don't have to finish the other two. There are decent stopping points between each module, so the party can move on and do something else and come back later, if they so choose.
What do you all think? I have a couple of backup ideas, if this plan does not sound appealing to you.

I'm onboard with this idea. You are correct about Drezden wanting to help Randal Morn reclaiming daggerdale.

I am onboard as for Dallion's motivation to go Myth Drannor is in the Dalelands he would be interested in seeing the ancient elven kingdom.

I'm happy to play through the Sword of the Dales as well, but - full disclosure - I have the modules sitting in my bookshelf and remember most of the plot. I like the basic idea, but I remember feeling that some of the plot felt quite contrived and couldn't see a good reason why the modules changed which Zhentarim and their allies are in Daggerdale. I.e. they used other people from the FR box set than the ones described in the box set. A change for the worse, I felt.
Still, if you're okay with my foreknowledge, I'd be happy to play and a guerilla war is still a war as far as Malavar is concerned.
