I was thinking that some of the high ranking leader of the Hounds would appear at each of the locations mentioned by IK in my post so everyone can have some action before the conclusion. The "big bad" would be where IK is going.

I was also thinking that [@nitemare shape]'s characters would go together, if he want them to. I don't want to force him to collab with 4-5 groups at a single time. Just my 2 cents.
