Introduction
-the introduction (still unsure of how it will be and if Don will be the designated intermission narrator). Basically explaining a few things but nothing big (mainly racism and gender role views). Mainly explaining how the story will go and how everyone you meet WILL die at some point. (but that's the fear of life I guess. The life expectancy in this time period is the 30s so might as well have a midlife crisis now)

Prologue
-Prologue. Tale of Duni's rule and the characters in the story that's about to be told

Ch 1
-Jon's perspective on the land reformation with Nick

Ch 2
-Uni's perspective in his kingdom of Infurum and world that's dying of the plague and going off with Ashlie and Dawn to do something about it

Ch 3
-Dashlie's perspective. But wait! In order to understand what brought her here, we first have to go to the beginning. Introducing... the Dungeon World! Nothing great about it. Show more than Dashlie's perspective. Don is not the Don we will meet in the story. Switch between these perspectives, showing the DW and Dashlie's life in her kingdom of Decipula.

Ch 4
-DDawn awaking and going after Uni and co. and whatever else he's gonna do
-Uni and co. arriving at overworld. Uni prepares to figure out the situation by going disguised as a peasant and hanging out with other peasants in the city. Mic issues.

Ch 5
-Dashlie and the Dungeon World again. Show her and the boys escaping the DW and then going through the second trial after the Dungeon Master

Ch 6
-Jon's perspective going to Dashlie's kingdom, where he will meet Davis and audition as a jester. His jokes are a little too clever and he will not be accepted, instead kicked out

Ch 7
-DDawn perspective again. Talk with the peasants. They're literally no help except they do unknowingly give information describing Uni. He asks them to elaborate and they point him in the direction. He walks for a bit and eventually sees the smoke coming from Uni's airship having been shot down somewhere deep in the forest
-Uni perspective as they escape wreckage and dip before the people find them. Apparently one of the kingdoms (the one Dashlie comes from) in the territory saw their ship and thought it was a dragon.  Grab things like mics and other equipment easy to carry in bags before leaving

Ch 8
-Dashlie runs away to Florentina, Italiatopia. (Mention how the kingdom has been in lockdown since a dragon was spotted in the nearby forest. Dashlie doubts this since she heard no roar and saw no fire) Switch between DW and present time but focus more on flashbacks. First one will be when Don gets dropped -flash back to the present shortly after- and they continue on -then end with Dashlie escaping her kingdom

Ch 9
-Jon perspective. Comes across crusaders. Runs into one and it ends up being Nick! Nick and him reunite then fix to separate again as Jon is heading to a different place. Nick offers to tag along and Jon isn't so sure about the crusaders. Nick ditches them to join Jon!
-The two then travel for a bit until they come across Davis

Intermission
-Intermission time

Ch 10
-Meeting Uni and co. Jon is on his way to another kingdom for an audition. Nick and Davis are just tagging along. The kingdom happens to be a territory owned by Duni (they don't know about him yet, but will when they enter the kingdom) and may have information pertaining to the plague that Uni and co. need. Travel together!

Ch 11
-DDawn perspective. He's lost in the woods and lost the trail. Aware of nearby territory and heads there
-Main group perspective. Head to the territory kingdom, where the place is just straight up corrupt and evil. There's a lot of sorcerers and warlocks and everything. Gives a look into the magic of the world and also shows Ashlie's knowledge on magic. She gives a cover story somewhat related to the truth to a guard and they are let into the kingdom in order to meet the king (King Skull. Fire king). Meet Don (momentarily see him before he skirts off. Will see him again later). King Skull is welcoming seeing all the magic creatures (pretty rare nowadays. Nick knows he isn't a magical creature, but King Skull seems to sense otherwise. This is the first time we get an idea Nick is something else)
-Uni tells the king about the plague going on and asking if there is any information on it. They all go into a private room to talk. King Skull doesn't know much, magic has been draining little by little in the recent years. His flame has been dying recently and he isn't sure how much longer he's got. As they talk, he starts to distinguish a little. Ashlie throws him timber, which gives him strength
-Talk more. Skull starts to diminish a little. King says he can check in with his mages and see if they have any information on the plague. However, this seems a bit of an exchange thing. Asks for more timber. "Or we can stand here and watch you die" is what Jon says. He drives a hard bargain

Ch 12
-Head to mages. No known cure, but they've been searching for other magical objects that can be used to cure it. All have turned out to be weapons so far, and they are sent to the Dictator (first mention of Duni without mentioning him?). However, there is a story of a wishing well. Not sure where it is though. Legend says there's one person who does know where it is, and they have a general idea of where they are. Crew heads off to find them
-Encounter Don on their way out, where they finally get his name. Says not to trust everything since this place is wickedly evil. Who's to say they can trust him, though? Fair play. But are you more likely to trust evil corporates or a dude who literally is allowed to say whatever he wants? Also, he knows the dude they need to find. He just hasn't helped the corporates because the guy lives a peaceful life and doesn't deserve to be imprisoned. Don constantly throws them off their trail on purpose
-Don quits, says they'll find a new jester, and decides to join the crew on their journey

Ch 13
-Meeting Anubis in the woods. Anubis knows the tale of the wishing well and where the wishing well is. Also knows about Doctor Richard but that comes up later. He leads the group to the place after they all take a rest. Also a moment where Anubis talks about more on Shifters and especially talks to Uni about it

Ch 14
-DDawn perspective. Entering the kingdom the crew were just in. The place is in turmoil. He gets information on where it's possible Uni went and heads off
-Crew comes across Dashlie. Dashlie recognizes Don but he doesn't recognize her. She's on her way to Florentina, which is apparently somewhat on the trial that the crew is going. She joins the party
-Meeting Linsey at the wishing well. Fighting scene with the nymphs until Ashlie takes a look at Linsey and intervenes the fight. Take a sip to take a wish. That doesn't work. Anubis knows about Doctor Richard but not where he is. Davis does. How? Eyes of Cram. Of course. Jon is seething from the overrunning joke. Not funny. Didn't laugh.

Intermission
-Intermission time again

Ch 15
-DDawn perspective once more. He's back on the Uni's trail and is a bit confused by the people who seem to be in the group
-Reach the kingdom where info on Duni and where Doctor Richard is

Ch 16
-Meet Dick

Ch 17
-Dick isn't helpful; search town for another way. Nick disagrees and meets up with Richard to join in on one of his appointments
-There's something weird going on with the plague here. It's more awful, almost (someone suggests sarcastically that it has to do with the amount of people, and Davis suggests it's because they aren't proud owners of Cram). Crew finds out from Don about some vague Duni information and they figure out they should sneak into a territory to find out some information. But how?
-Nick and Dick plague appointment. Watch child die. The blood is intoxicating to Nick, but the sickliness he senses makes his stomach twist in knots
-Nick and Dick come across crew on the way back. Dick listens to the crew relay the information before suggesting that, if this really could really be, while not the end, a step in the direction for the world to heal from the plague, then he is up for helping
-Dick, Jon, Ashlie, and Anubis to the basement

-Storm a territory of Duni's to find out where he is. Lindsey and Anubis die



-Start heading for King Duni


-Don dies


-Almost there! Made it to Florentina. Dashlie debates whether to continue with the gang or stay here

-Nick is a vampire

-Make it to the kingdom!
the first fight where they barely make it through the front gates?

-Nick dies protecting Jon (causes the gang to retreat/surrender)

-Duni captures the survivors. Offers Uni cure to plague in exchange for marriage. Uni considers it but Dick tells him if there was a cure, Dick would've found it. Duni says he's wrong and they've actually got the cure here, in the form of flowers in his garden. He has had his medical person or whatever turn it into a potion for him to take it himself, that way he will rule longer than anyone

-Everyone heads home in separate directions until Uni realizes....

-The Great Fight

-Ashlie dies

-Richard dies.

-Duni is defeated

-The kingdom is burned to the ground and Duni's evil world is defeated. The heroes are okay that they aren't going to live because they saved many lives
