I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this previously (it seems so obvious I can't believe NOONE has) but I think a group of adventures would be cool using the lone wolf books as the basis.
Basically the concept being that instead of Lone Wolf running off to tell the King in Holmgard about the destruction of the Kai, your band of PCs does.
If you were all Kai for instance perhaps you all escaped instead of Lone Wolf- or if you aren't then maybe you stumble upon the burnt out Kai monastery and quickly decide that travelling to tell the King of their destruction is paramount to the survival of Sommerlund.
This then naturally leads into the second book where the king sends your band off to get the sommerswerd (not necessarily because any of them get to use it, but because it needs to be used to kill the dark lord Zagarna).
I think with a little work your PC band could eventually end up fighting Ixiataaga at level 17.
The good thing about the books is that when your characters finish the quest, they get to go up one level, keeping up with Lone Wolf's levels in the books.
