I've been tweaking the module in lots of little ways to make it smooth and cinematic but all that depends on what your players give you to work with. I've introduced Varl early as flavorful background characters so they wouldnt suspect them as much. The Alchemist dipped into Warpriest and went to Vespams Artisans to get looted Order of the Rack armor modified discreetly. A raven npc makes the introduction saying Varl will do work under the table. Since then he's been stalking that character and he's been killing folks around the players usually Dottari or Chelish Citizens Group the party have been sparing. So they have to fight the rumors that the Slasher is in the Ravens. The players squabbled and one flew around at night alone to scout the Aulorian Estate.
