[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6647496, member: 82106"] I just think that level is always a major focus in D&D, so why not work from there? I always want to know what the INTENT is. This is why people say 4e is 'more transparent', its tools are meant to convey information like this. They might be a little less objectively descriptive in some sort of 'gazateer sense', maybe. Oddly though I don't worry too much about my world at that level. I didn't want to get into a totally OT discussion of SC framing. This is after all a 5e thread... You might, depending on your dramatic needs frame the whole heist as a single SC. You might also just make the multiverse's most dire lock a whole encounter in and of itself with multiple facets.
