• {{characters}}: The characters involved, including their motivations and physical abilities.
• {{setting}}: The location and environment where the sequence takes place.
• {{story_goals}}: What the sequence needs to accomplish in the story (e.g., character development, plot advancement).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask the user to provide them before proceeding.
2. Outline the key beats of the sequence, from setup to climax to resolution.
3. Write the action sequence with attention to pacing, using varied sentence lengths and vivid descriptions to control rhythm.
4. Ensure the sequence aligns with the characters' abilities and the story's tone.
