Hey guys,
My question is in regards to structure and when the hero should accept the main journey. Can my first act break be him passively agreeing to follow a group to a hide out, where he'll learn about the main story?
More Info:
So, my story in a nutshell is a high fantasy where the hero enters a new world, where he meets a small group of thieves who bring him to their hideout/base/etc, once there they convince him to help them with his special abilities to rob someone.
The main portion of the story is the hero using his special abilities to help them rob someone.
Currently my structure is something like this:
Should I compress this structure more? Make the hideout agreement scene the act break and the accepting to follow them just a scene in the first act?
If this is all too confusing, let me know.
tl;dr: Can my first act break be the hero passive accepting to follow someone into the new world? Or should I make his agreement to help their mission be the act break?

Currently my structure is something like this:
- Catalyst: Hero is invited to an event that will introduce him to the new world.
- Hero attends event, meets gang of thieves, gets invited to their hide out
- First Act Break: Hero accepts journey to follow the group to their hide out
- At their hide out, hero learns of the mission and after some self doubt he agrees to help them
