CONVENTION/GAMEDAY PACING FOR 4 HOURS
Hour 0-1: Character Intros, Rat Raiders
Hour 1-2: Rat Raiders Cont., Days of Rain
Hour 2-3: Wode Woes, Buck's Ridge Run
Hour 3-4: Buck's Ridge Run Cont., Conclusion

TOOLS FOR PACING
Rat Raiders: Rat's try to steal 3 crates. As soon as that looks impossible, they can slink away. Try not to go past 1.5 hour mark with this fight. Have them flee early if necessary.
Buck's Ridge Run: The goblins flee when half their group is defeated. There is just a 15 minute conclusion after this fight, if you have time and everyone is having fun, have the goblins fight on.

NOTES
1 - The travel should be E to W, so I turned the wagon around on both maps
2 - I set up the ratfolk to be hugging the wall and hedges, remember, the second mishiever group comes on round 2
3 - If the first round of the montage does not complete it, you can have the wode woe negotiation be the montage interlude event
4 - remove fire behind wagon (battlefield was cluttered enough without it). rearrange goblins to keep assassins behind the wagon, remember they come in on round 2. Round 1: use bury the point and tiny cuts (if enough malice). use swamp gas and toxic winds to control battlefield and get party away from back of wagon. End of round Feoc in a panic drives the wagon forward unless commanded otherwise Round 2: assassins appear, se brutal effect with shadow chains, then bury the point, then tiny cuts.
