This is an outline I made for navigating and running the Shadows adventure. There are bits and pieces I added that you can scratch off, if you don't want to use them.
There's no real plot except to shut down the Energy Beam, so Act II has no real form or direction. Just exploration and a countdown. And trying to avoid dying.
