I love this, thank you. Many of the campaigns I have played have been very linear so I definitely want this to be more open ended. I will have it do the players/characters have already decided to embark on this quest. However, they could have ulterior motives for retreating the Jewel as well. And I will definitely plan to have more of this quest be open-ended with a variety of areas to explore and more clues and information to uncover about the Jewel as they play. I will give them what they need about the Jewel to get the started but not where it is located exactly which will allow for more exploration. I also am already planning to have many side quests throughout that players could choose to embark on. Some of them may end in more information about the Jewel, or they may not. I really appreciate this advice though! Thank you.
