First-timer advice ping…
Okay, tonight I run my first (ever) session of Blades for the crew of “Smugglers of Arcane/Weird” that my players put together. I was going to point them towards heading outl to a near-ish shoal where a famous Leviathan Hunter captain met his demise fighting a Leviathan to try to capture his ghost, sneak it back into the city and hock it to Lady Ankhayat so she can try to coax out the directions to his secret hunting grounds. (These are all brand-new players to anything fiction-first/story-driven, pretty much all D&D players.)
My basic plan was…
* Engagement roll to set the state of things as they arrive at this ruined lighthouse/shoal in an ongoing storm, ranging from “the only thing worse than hurricanes are hurricanes in the dark” to “irritating but non-consequential rain” kind of deal.
* Finding the ghost of the captain and making their way to it (I’ve got two Leeches that will need stuff to blow up).
* Capturing the ghost (also two Whispers so this may help occupy them both).
* Heading back to the city and a shakedown from the Dockers/”equivalent to port authority”.
So, to those who have done this before: Does that sound like what all should be in a Score? Is that too much? Not enough?
(I also kind of feel like that’s a Smuggling mission attached to the end of a Hunt mission.)
