Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Katryca's failed assault on Drathro's castle (believing him dead) directly leads to her brutal death at Drathro's hands, demonstrating his tyrannical power and the futility of physical rebellion. This event brutalizes Balazar's perception of Drathro and strengthens his resolve to aid the Doctor's mission, as seen in his later actions."
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
