(Historical Notes: Looking back, it’s honestly hard to tell how many of these little twists and turns and obstacles were planned out in advance, and how many were just me drawing one thing and then going “Hey wait, wouldn’t that mean THIS?” and rolling with it.  I mean, the fact that I keep complaining about the plot being too poorly laid out means that nothing was “really” planned out in advance, but there’s still a difference between the stuff I make up on the fly because I think it’d make a good plot point and stuff I make up on the fly just because the PREVIOUS thing I made up presented a problem I wanted to address.)
