I keep getting confused by all these posts from Dan Bryant.

Surely the leader of the yes movement doesn’t need advice on how to tell a story?

More things from my game tonight!
More things from my game tonight!
There is an Altar, on the island – a huge squatting thing (which the players will decide the exact shape of…) with its arms held up to the sky and a weakly struggling person bleeding out into its open mouth.
Nearby, a Wizard and his Cohorts are camping…
The basic idea is that it will be a nasty fight against a wizard and a handful of armed bastards who have been kidnapping and bleeding people into the altar, because of the solidified raw magic that it produces.
Little does the wizard know the Altar is an ancient, magical mimic that’s learned the savage inhabitants of the island would think it was an altar to one of their gods (with the mimics handy shapeshifting…) and trick them into sacrificing living things to it.
If the players decide not to smash the Altar, that fight wont happen…
And finally… LEECHES!
And finally… LEECHES!
Because Leeches.
Heres a few of the things I came up with for tonights game.

Mangrove Dryad and Fertiliser Zombies – Not nessicarily a combat encounter, but with my guys its definitely a possibility. Theres a Dryad in a mangrove swamp on the highly magical jungle island the players are stranded in, protecting her grove from the magic hunters that live on the island.
She’s not afraid to aggressively propagate her grove if given any chance at all, and many of the saplings in the grove use magically animated zombies as a cross between fertiliser bags and an defensive system.
The players have to pass through the grove to get to where they are going in any sort of time. If they decide to take the long route, its going to add another half a day to their journey.

Smoke on the Water
When does this Scene take place?: The Party is travelling by ship either at the start or near the end of an adventure.
Who are the Antagonists?: A Great White Selachii (Shark Man) and a shoal of his Remoran servants.
Why should the Party Care?: Because they are about to be Boarded.
The Party are travelling on a ship to (or from) adventure when off in the distance they spot another ship… and fire in the sky. The player ships crew (There should be enough to sail a ship, but not enough that they can suffer losses and safely continue their journey) attempt to signal the other ship.
Players attempting to Discern Reality at this point might notice a few silvery glimmers fall off of the ship into the water with small splashes and no crew on the other. Players who ask ‘What is about to happen’ might suspect some sort of ambush ahead.
Wether the players attempt to avoid the ship or get close to it, the only warning of what is about to happen is a crewmember (or party member) spotting silvery shapes moving below the waves… Followed by the ship hitting something.
That something is a Great White Selachii. Unlucky for the players, it’s still hungry.
There will be enough Remorans to keep the entire crew busy in the background, the only number that’s important are the ones fighting the players. You wont need many because the Selachii is going to be a significant danger for the players – use the Remorans to make hard moves against players who fail rolls.
The Deep Lungs quality is to represent that the Beast-Men are having to essentially hold their breath to fight the players, and whilst they can stay above water for a good 5 minutes before needing a quick dunk to refresh, they can’t stay out indefinitely without beginning to suffocate.
Play up on some of the tropes of sharks when describing the Selachii’s actions – have him charge towards a player with his eyes rolled back into his skull and if the players dodge, have him go straight through the guard rail in an explosion of splinters and into the water. If a player gets seriously injured and someone fails a roll, have the Selachii go into a horrific blood frenzy where it loses its caution and is only interested in killing.
Don’t be afraid to have him bulldoze someone into the water and attempt to drown them.
All whilst this is happening, describe how in the background the Remorans are Injuring/Killing the crew and, in turn are being injured and killed. When all the Remorans fighting the players die, have the ones in the background driven off victoriously by the crew.
When the Selachii dies, have the Remorans attempt to abandon ship quickly, dragging corpses with them.
And then, when everything has gone quiet and the characters have had a chance to catch their breath, point out that the ship is about to run aground on a tropical island or in known but dangerous territory.
Who knows. They might even find out why the Selachii have suddenly started attacking ships.
