I was thinking about some changes to The Crystal Shard that could enhance the movie for the general public:
--In the beginning, show Akar Kessel in the Host Tower of the Arcane with Mordekai attempting to summon a denizen of the lower planes to graduate up to the title of Wizard, or whatever would come prior to the title. Incidentally, it could be Errtu. However the summoning would fail due to Kessel's lack of ability. It would put Errtu on alert that Crenshinibon is on Toril though.
--Later have Kessel maybe feeling guilty over killing Mordekai and taking his robes and his title dishonestly. This would lead to him attempting to summon the denizen of the lower planes in order to bring a sense of vindication to himself. Then enter Errtu.
--Maybe even show Calimport at the beginning with Entreri being given his assignment by Pasha Pook. Follow this with a scene of Drizzt meeting Regis for the first time.
--The Language: This could be difficult; do any DnD books have the complete drow language, with the intricacies and mechanics that make up a language? If so roll with that. If not, maybe play up the evilness of the drow to the point that Drizzt can never really get past a few words before surface dwellers either flee--in the case of the Thistledown kids--or take up arms and chase him off.
