In Rock of Tahamaat, as in every functional fictional form, nothing happens outside of a scene.
A lot of fiction consists of summary / scene. This is also true in RPGs. A GM might say "OK, over the next five days, you equip yourself for the expedition. As you set off, the weather turns bad and the road dissolves into mud."
Unless you include summary as part of scene framing - in which case I think your statement is a tautology.
