Re: Noxian Nights (Updated 3/20)
Posted about this on the patreon too, but I feel like something's missing at the start. An attempt to avoid staying in dirtbag's shack.
You can leave the shack and ask around for somewhere to stay, but everyone turns you down and you have to go back anyway. I'd like to see Riven try to stick it out. Sleep under a tree in the woods near the forest. Sleep in a cave outside of town. Under an unused stall or behind a stack of crates.
Actually, Is the implication supposed to be that the stall owners live in those stalls? That's what seems to be said after you steal cloak-guy's cloak for your friend, but if that's the case you should probably have them have curtains down or something at night. So it looks like there might be someone inside, instead they just look empty.
Anyway, yeah. Basically, try to find somewhere to wedge yourself for a nap where the guards won't find you. Toss in a couple of events. (near misses with the guard, culminating in Riven getting caught, used and dumped in the bad side of town, for shack-guy to snatch her up.
Eventually Riven decides she has to give up on this whole "sleeping outside" business before she gets grabbed guy a guard who doesn't intend to let her go when he's had his fun.
Alternatively, sleeping in a cave outside leads to an early encounter with a Ghoul. Riven decides not to risk it again.
Bascially, give her a reason to stay with that arse-hole, beyond just "because a super untrustworthy guy said it was her only option."
Note: One of the caves outside has a poison necklace and a Ghoul in it, but the Ghoul doesn't have the same red-flame sprite as normal Ghouls. Or even the blue-flame sprite of normal enemies. It has the shadowy-monster sprite. Might be a bug.
