On the most outer side of the spider web, it's an enormous ring. This is the beginning, or where the PCs start. It allows them to run all the way around that ring, if they want. BUT, there are strings that lead right to the center.These strings are paths that lead them to the next step, the smaller ring, the next 'phase' of the plot. They can still run around that ring, although it's a little smaller, but there are Still the same number of paths. As they get lower, their room to run around gets smaller, but they still have just as much ways to work with. This way, at each Ring, there is more then One thing that will get them lower. It's not a single line, but a lot of different clues that get them to same place.This isn't exactly like pigeonholing, when it gets smaller, but there are just more obvious ways to get to it, or atlast, spesific ways to get to it, as aposed to broad strokes.</blockquote>
