I am trying to use the 5x5 Method (http://critical-hits.com/2009/06/02/the-5x5-method/) to write a plot wherein the PCs eventually find themselves in a fight to survive a Far Realm invasion. I have many blank spaces and need help filling them in.
The game is mission based, each session encompassing one mission. The plot points mentioned below will be hidden amongst other missions in the world, and character based ones (depending on who is at the table). Character based missions can tie in with the main plot and other missions quite easily.
Non-plot based missions will slowly disappear the further into the campaign we go.

Defeat Far Realm
Something Coming: in which our heroes slowly catch on that something is wrong
Seeds of Despair: in which our heroes try to handle the world that is starting to go mad
Survive Assault: in which our heroes must survive the onslaught of Far Realm beasts and creatures invading from the sky
Gather Forces: in which our heroes must find the strength to combat the Far Realm invaders
Defeat Flayers: in which our heroes must destroy the Far Realm menace once and for all
Something Coming
Sewer Rats: In which our heroes are introduced to the main plot via a wererat with melted out eyes from staring into the stars "The Stars are Screaming!"
Sanhuagin Attack: in which our heroes stop a Sanhuagin attack on a coastal city. The fish people are looking for protective items to save their civilization from an unknown coming doom.
Astronomer: in which our heroes save a young girl from an astronomer gone mad from staring into the stars, his eyes also melted away.
That is all I have for now. Ideas? I wanted simple Lovecraftian references in the first two arches (hence the Sanhuagin, a subtle reference to the Deep Ones).
