Dopplegangers dart out of the wood to attack? well, on the 1st round the party will charge into the woods... A half-dozen times, you see hobgoblin patrols on foot, but the cultists make so much noise that they are easily avoided in the shadows off of the trail.

More examples are there One person runs off, and the entire camp swoops down upon them. Or they yell for help and more patrols show up.

I'm really getting into the whole Ashen Covenant/Orcus stuff so I'm gonna make Naarash be demon nobility, but Orcus is the demon prince so Naarash is really just doing Orcus' bidding. They storyline is only as bad as you make it. helegraug (GM)

So Hobgoblin patrols are not fightable, but shadow hounds are fightable? This is not inside the camp. I agree that the plots is interesting and the that background is workable, just the execution is sorely lacking.
