Update: I think I've picked the main potential path for the first half of Act 3, which was the least-outlined part between sections I had more firmly mapped out.

I need to flesh it out more, but there's progress here.

And a minor spoiler is that I had a more action path and a more emotional path for this portion, I decided on the emotional path. There's no shortage of action before and after, and this emotion is worth it to flesh out here.
