Notes

Things I need to do better 1: the maze needs to be more interactive, there was little to do in the maze other than get narrartions.  2: I need to do better about leading the party on. they were often left without direction and purpose. 3: the npcs were suspicios and barely believable 4: the ending was anticliactic 5:i need to hook into pursueing the hag 6:i need to seed a previous tradgedy and foreshadow the ghost 7: the scarecorws were creepy but not a threat
