I'll assume that once every 48 h is a good pacing, if we eventually have to resort to time limits.
As for the prologue, I had a few things planned, but there will be a place for them as well in the future. And originally it would end up in violence if you weren't that subtle as you acted, lol. But as I said there will be plenty of moments to roleplay in the future. I myself place decisions and dialogue before combat and tests, but I can get carried away with such things, so I found it to be healthier to move on.
And thanks for the research tip, man! I'm already doing my homework as time allows, so to speak!
