Reconsidering Next Week/Future Planning

It seems that we have a couple of different goals in mind. David needs at least 2 more XP for his 4th level character to be able to play the next level of Thornkeep which is tier 5-7. Bruce, Dave and Alan all need some XP for 1st level characters.

If I run Fangwood Keep, looking at the character levels for the players, it appears that running a 3-5 module may be problematic for some. Bruce only has Jack at 5th level and Dave has no characters.Kelly, Kara and David all have 2 or more characters at 4th or 5th and Alan had his cleric at 5th.

Do you guys want me to plan something else? We are short on low level material but we do have some. I have 3 tier 1-5 scenarios that are a series which none of us have played or run. I also have a level 1-2 module which none of us have played. We have one tier 3-7 scenario which none of us have played.

There are 3 tier 1-5 scenarios and 2 tier 3-7 scenarios which Bruce and I have played. If he were willing to run them, I could use some/all of my GM replay credit to play some of these again.

Do you want me to proceed with Fangwood Keep with Dave and possibly Bruce playing a pregen? Would you preper that I run the module Murder's Mark (Tier 1-2), then Shades of Ice scenarios parts 1-3 (Tier 1-5) and lastly Fangwood Keep (Tier 3-5)? This path would allow new and current 1st level characters to achieve 4th level. This would take about 2 months to achieve.

Credit from The Dragon's Demand will take a 2nd level character to 6th and a 3rd level character to 7th level.

I want to set the group up to have fun and success. Selfishly, I also want to enable situations where other folks can run. We have a bunch of Tier 5-9 scenarios available. Dave has two prepared to run and I have at least a dozen more. Tier 7-11 we have at least 2 dozen we can play.

Thoughts?
