Well, I found the word count

Well, I found the word count. It was pretty obvious once the tiny letters caught my eye. The bad news is that I'm almost positive I'm going to blow through the 3500 word count without even breaking a sweat. Already I'm up to 1339 and I'm not even done with the first phase of the quest.

I'm starting to realize that this particular quest might not be right for the contest. Still, it's not like the time I spent is going to waste. I'll almost certainly use everything I've done in the main campaign.

What it means is that I'll need to find another quest, much simpler, if I'd like to submit something to the writing contest. I think I have one, though there's aspects that are a bit tricky. It's outdoors, which means I've got to carefully make use of the 4x4 space. It also should have a huge crowd instead of just a couple NPC villagers. Still, it might work. I'll have to think it over.

Update: I'm flip-flopping again. I might be able to do this particular quest and not go over too badly, though I'm admittedly going to have to keep things more terse than I would prefer. We'll see how it goes.
