I wrote a draft of the fight scene where I was going to ignore some rules for Drama
and it has not worked out and is not in fact bringing the moment I wanted of Drama
boo

But! Then I reread the rules on some spells some more, and pondered,
and I think if I put the rules back in
they can in fact make it More Drama.

Only maybe, might have misunderstood again, we shall see, but it would be nice.
Also I'm going to have to go back and add lines to build up to this and whole extra scenes of preparing before the battle and... lots of things, basically, but that's what second drafts is for, to make it look like you done it on purpose.



Of course the whole thing relies on monsters making and failing their saves at appropriate intervals, but, Only When Its Drama is a perfectly good rule for that.
... or Only When Its Funny.


So first draft is definitely starting to exist.

Tell you what though, very few pages of module can turn into All The Pages of story. The encounter map is not the story by a really long way.
