Tiffany's Misadventure, Adventure 1
The building blocks for the first section of the CHYOA story Caverns And Taverns for Tiffany Terlinna, the Tiefling Sorcerer. The plot will begin with the intended "main" path of progression, and follow with allowed choices, deviations, and possible results.
Structure
Exposition
The act will begin with the reader being introduced to Tiffany as the player character they will be reading and controlling, as well as familiarizing them with some of the central characters and locations. The Extra Ordinary, where Tiffany Works, her Boss Harlihn, her sister Bethany, and the larger city of Vulzesh, where most of the First Act should remain (as currently planned).
Readers will quickly understand both Tiffany's magical prowess as a sorcerer, and her indifference to it, as well as her propensity and desire for hedonism and intimacy.

Conflict
The conflict will appear as a deception: Tiffany's friend is being accosted by a drunken ex-boyfriend, and the choice of what to do about it is given. Regardless of what choice is made, readers will resolve that plot to reveal in the next morning that Harlihn, the boss and owner of the Extra Ordinary is missing and presumed dead. The real mission begins, trying to find answers.
Rising Action
As Tiffany and her friends try to find answers, some darker questions come up. It begins to look like this wasn't just some random act, but that whoever is responsible may have been part of an evil cult, including the ex-boyfriend.
More than that, there's a greater dilemma at hand. With Harlihn missing, there is an immediate clamoring for those wishing to buy and take ownership of his business, The Extra Ordinary. Tiffany knows this place meant everything to Harlihn, and wanted it to only go to the right person, and that she herself would have wanted to buy it from him, eventually.
The player is left with two choices, which will branch out to larger Acts and adventurers: Chasing down the evildoers responsible, or trying to ensure the Ordinary doesn't go off to the wrong person or people.

Components
Moral Quandaries
The main moral quandary will be as the adventure reaches a high point, and the reader is left with making a central choice. The moral choice is whether to do the right thing for society as a whole and try to uncover and put a stop to this evil cult, or do the right thing for Harlihn and yourself by keeping the ownership of The Extra Ordinary in the hands he would want them to be in.
