Which is why buildings have been sized up as I found appropriate and, more importantly, to a size that won't make my players wonder who lives in the shoeboxes.Anyway, I'll update again when I've made more progress - either on this one, or with a new post for a different section of the adventure.  Let me know what you think!</blockquote>
