Opening

Orrin boards a malfunctioning tower lift and must negotiate with its opinionated controls while every floor opens onto a different fantasy problem.

The brass lift dings at basement level and opens onto a cloud kingdom. Orrin checks the panel, where a new button politely reads Somewhere Else.

  • Understand the opening conflict and what is truly at stake.
  • Practice at least one meaningful choice with Orrin Gearwhistle.
  • Finish with a reusable story hook, reward, or party memory.
