: Re: Is it good to repeat the same form of event? Background So, long ago in my writing I wrote a chapter where a book housing a specific missing chapter was found in a treasury. As you can

It's a little convenient, but you can get around that a few ways:

1) Hang a lampshade on it. That is, have the characters point out that they found that other MacGuffin at the treasury too, and what else did the king hide in here? Good grief, is that Amelia Earhart's luggage? Turns out the king was a huge collector, and hoarder, of ancient and valuable MacGuffins.

2) Your bad guy hid item number 1 in the the treasury. It took a long time to find and it was hard for the heroes to get in and out safely. Where's the last place your heroes would think to look for another item, your bad guy thinks? Back in the dang treasury! So he does it on purpose.
