How about a compromise? One more update with Misty, then we'll go check up on Reg.
It's an interactive story, guys. I want to make sure you have an appropriate amount of influence on how the story goes.
Ok, please make an interlude with the necromancer. Just one picture, ominous looking guy, you only see the back, he is rubbing his hands, saying "muhahah, and so it begins".
After all we need a bad guy, don't we? So far it's Misty being a normal migrant, nothing out of the ordinary. Dead elf merchants, hauling, people not caring about deaths...
I really am not for the idea of a bad guy right now. Honestly, the direction the story is going is perfect.
When this series started, Misty was as innocent as a young dwarf could be. Then we begin to see her develop into maturity. She's facing the truths of the world she lives in and recognizing different cultures, religions, lifestyles, and had even become friends with an elf. But over the majority of the series, she's remained innocent.
Now she has just witnessed a slaughter. A group of innocent, sentient beings killed in cold blood because of their race and way of life. Her friend was killed in front of her. To add to all of this, she had to drag his corpse to a giant, ungraceful pile of refuse. Before, she had only faced the fact there were different people in the world. Now she sees the horrors of real life. Some people hate those who aren't the same as them, and will kill for that reason alone.
Watching her transformation so far has been interesting enough, and now we get to see her react to all of this even further. She'll have to choose a side, Hate those everyone hates, or be rebellious toward the ancient dwarven way.
This is perfect for now, as it is showing an incredibly deep story set within a game that, if it were to happen, you would ignore. Also, having the story take place inside of one fortress (For now.) is perfect, because we can see the intensity of the dilemmas that happen inside.
