Plot expansion

I've added to the central plot of the module leading up to the Star Mounts. I felt that it was possible to skip too much of the module, to go too far forward too fast. With this "required" quest added in, the player will be better prepared for the rest of the module and will be more likely to go off and do sidequests afterwards, for a variety of reasons, if they weren't planning on doing so originally. This addition to the plot has also allowed me to do some nice Realmslore-implementation (with some brainstorming help from Alazander--thanks again!), and to add a few famous Realms-folk into the earlier stages of the game. Let's just say that players who have played some of my more recent releases will particularly enjoy this encounter. :)

So, I did all the writing for this main-plot-sidequest today; it was several thousand words overall, so it wasn't too bad. I also built the one exterior area that the quest required be made in its entirety; I still have several interiors and a few creature blueprints to do as well. Then I have several trivial scripts to write and the quest will be done. :)

After that's finished, I intend to continue implementing the High Forest optional sidequests. These, for the record, are the real meat of the module, and it is my hope that every player takes part in them. What's the point of playing a long, exploration-based adventure if you rush through the main plot, after all?
