Message: <blockquote data-quote="arwink" data-source="post: 531917" data-attributes="member: 2292">Exposition - Seems we only get together at weddings and funerals.To be honest, it all came together out of lack of sleep and desperation.  The only really strong ideas I had and liked was the love-sick treant and the image of a ruined clock tower rising out of a lake, and I think that shows in the submission.  Everything else was just built around that somehow, and the natural progression of things was to have the river spirit as the object of his affection and the evil granmother lurking in her background.  I looked back on my submission after I'd gotten some sleep, and immediately thought of a dozen or so ways I could make it clearer or better, but it just wasn't that kind of day...The hardest thing to fit in was the Ring of Sustenance.  I've decided that I hate that magic item with a passion, and plan to very nasty things to the next person who wants one in my games.  I decided early on that I wanted to avoid fairy-tailisms as much as possible, and for a couple of hours I really resisted the idea of including a wedding in the scenario at all.  I did have another idea half-written that integrated the various ingredients in a different way, but it meant I had to let go of the treant encounter and I liked it too much for that.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to clock up some sleep before the next round so I'm actually coherant when I put things together.</blockquote>
