			If you're using field NPCs for your quest, please put the number of NPCs you need directly onto the Self-Service Timetable, as well as any details of exactly who you want; and talk to Bug about actually getting them.

			As with skirmish NPCs, make sure that you've booked a makeup slot before your briefing / getting to the quest area time.

	=== Special Considerations for PLVs ===		=== Special Considerations for PLVs ===

			Please talk to Team PLV - Felix is probably a good point of contact - before attempting to run a PLV.

			If you have an idea for one of the 'standard' PLVs administered by the CS to PCs chosen by the player base, they can help you find an appropriate visionary for your PLV and ensure it's in the right format.

			If you want to run a 'rogue PLV' with True Liao that has gone / is going into play via some other vector, they can make sure your PLV and methods fit the metaphysics and work with what's been defined about the PLV process.

	=== Encounter Tent ===		=== Encounter Tent ===

			You can book Encounter Tents on the Self-Service Timetable, but it's polite to check with the person who is listed as running the encounter tent as well - this is usually Sabrina for PLV and Dominic Rowney for the other main environment tent, and there are usually one or two others which should have a named contact on the timetable. They can help you pick an appropriate tent and time for your encounter, liase with set dressing (and combine sets with other encounters if appropriate), and generally make sure that the support for your encounter is there.

			Please remember to leave ample time for setting and striking sets if you are doing a set change. Even if you are using a set in place, a half-hour buffer makes it easier to clear out any specific props / remains of the previous encounter and make sure your NPCs are briefed and in position.

			You will need someone to escort people to the appropriate encounter tent, either an NPC or a ref, and to escort them back to the field - players can't be allowed to wander around the encounter tent area unescorted.

Quest Area

	=== Quest Area ===		=== Quest Area ===

			You need to book a Quest Area on the Self Service Timetable - closer to each event the Skirmish Team will fill in which slots are being used and which slots are free, and announce on the Plot FB group that it's ready for booking.

			Please remember to book an extra half-hour at least before your Gate time, for briefing, checking the layout, and getting people into position. If you have a large skirmish team attached (40+) you probably need an hour. Also make sure there's plenty of time at the end of your slot to get everyone out of the area leaving it clear for the next slot - if in doubt, just book an extra half hour.

			There are three quest areas - 'Copse', 'Orc Camp' and 'Deep Woods'.

			If you're using a Quest Area remember that there's often quite a walk between it and the Sentinel Gate, and radio / network can be patchy in the woods - please try to leave someone behind at the Gate or in radio contact who knows what's going on once you've taken the first group off to the quest area, especially if they haven't filled the conjunction and it's possible other people will try to come through late. Also, don't rely on being able to look things up in the woods - we're working on network coverage but some areas will be unable to see the database, so printouts of e.g. important item properties may well be useful.

			If you have any possibility that your players might be chased by other players, or there might be any other awkward action between the two areas, you might want to inform a field ref about what is going on so they can be around to make calls about what happens at the OC field edge.

			Occasionally you will want to take players to 'a location near Anvil' - this is mostly used for PLVs which use 'CS Offices' and a 'Gateway' located IC just off the side of the main Anvil area, but some small quests have also gone to do things in the 'CS Offices' or 'CS Storage Tents' just off the main area.
