[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6491938, member: 221"] Yeah, I'm not quibbling with the assessment. I was just trying to showcase the thinking that kept me from fleshing out more. To be honest, because of my tendency to write things as I intend to have them finished, I wasn't quite sure how to summarize potential events without producing a fully fledged 15k module. I think, after 24 hours or so of more thought, that I could have probably bulleted individual events in the second half of the manuscript with just enough detail to give a flow of ideas. So that Act 1 would read something like [b]Act 1: The Play's the Thing[/b] [i] In which the PCs, after being shown fierce and threatening missives promising harm upon the renown Flint Ironedge, are hired to protect the same. [/i] [LIST] [*]The PCs join the Troupe of Traveling Theatrical Delights, either as performers, or as obvious muscle. [*]Introductions are made all around and PCs are given many invites to join particular acts. [*]At the first performance, a falling sandbag narrowly misses Ironedge as he performs a death scene. The pathos is ruined. The rope appears to have been cut by a sharp blade. [*]A wagon wheel comes off of Flint's private wagon. Sadie Silk was, thankfully, travelling in a different wagon at the time. The dwarf is banged up. There are signs of sabotage [*]Poisoned fruits left for Ironedge results in a dead chicken. Madam insists that one of the PCs fill in for her missing star until a replacement is purchased. [*]etc. [/LIST] Also, right after posting, it struck me that it should have been the Troupe of a Thousand Traveling Theatrical Delights. :) [/QUOTE]
