The dragon cult has a well fortified hold in the mountains north of the volcano. They have been searching for something.
This is a rough sketch to get started on a general layout. The slaad have information on the geography, the location of the two main guard outposts on the left outcropping and the main spur of the mountain. They aren't aware of the guard on the eastern spur.
They also know of a patrol on the northwestern slopes, and along the valley floor around the main keep. There is another patrol in the higher reaches of the main spur that they never detected. It is a high patrol, and observes more than interacts. They have magical means of communicating directly with the innermost circle of guards. If they see anyone coming, they will alert them, but not give any other warning.
This helps the leaders demonstrate greater power, by "sensing" the approach of intruders even before the guards or patrols notice. If the party specifically mention taking a high pass approach to the outpost, they can spot the secret patrol on a Perception (DC22) check. Any similar action looking for someone while high on the spur gets the same roll.
