Here is my step outline for beyond the pale, which I found challenging to write. Especially writing in present tense!
Brian, Nick and Paul are in the pub discussing the project: a documentary about Brian’s life as a druid. Brian secretly hopes the film will become his legacy. Nick is suspicious of Paul’s motives and worries about being publicly ridiculed. Paul wants to expose them as being completely mad but appears sympathetic to them.
Nick refuses to be involved and hates the prospect of being filmed, but Brian blackmails him and says he will not continue his apprenticeship, unless he agrees to be part of the project. Resentfully, Nick agrees, but vows to make life as difficult as possible for them. He casts spells and concocts potions to delay the project.
Plans are set in motion to perform a ceremony at Stanton Drew, stone circle. Brian prepares for the event and collects materials from the woods to make magic tools.
Nick seeks revenge on Paul and Brian for blackmailing him into taking part in the film. He tells them that the local coven of Witches sent a warning not to perform a ceremony at Stanton Drew. Brian decides to call it off and makes the decision to perform the ceremony in his back garden. At the ceremony Brian hears Nick tell his girlfriend that he was responsible for the ceremony changing location.
Brian confronts Nick and relieves him of his apprenticeship. Paul’s beliefs about the Pagan way of life begin to change and he decides to ask Brian to take him on as his new apprentice.
