I'd focus him on the halfling farm. You can assume that the cultists were successful in bringing him into the effort to amass a tribute to Tiamat, so there's plenty of legs to this.   You could also expand on the Red Wizard if they've left him to his devices. He could have finished his observation of the tower and set his sights on taking over the mine. If the players earned a share of the mine, they'll be motivated to safeguard their property.   The orcs are another reasonable basis for an adventure. They could be breaking the treaty and restarting the war.
