[QUOTE="Gruns, post: 2222063, member: 10312"] Well, it's Wednesday evening, and I have to work all day tomorrow and Friday. Next game session is Friday night. I intentionally left off last session as an open-ended cliff hanger, but am experiencing a bit of writer's block, and can't come up with anything that isn't overly cliche. I just need a few ideas thrown my way to get me started. Don't need an entire adventure, just need some thoughts to get the ball rolling. Here's some quick background: Level 3, party of four. Just killed someone they probably shouldn't have, as he had ties with the local thieve's guild. A rival thieve's guild heard the news, and as a 'Thank you' to the PCs, suggested that news would get around fast, and they should get out of Dodge ASAP.

After a day at sea, a sudden storm strikes, and the boat is more or less obliterated. Captain tries to head ashore to a nearby random island, and almost makes it. All but one of the crew is lost/killed, but "luckily" the PCs all survive. At shore, the surviving NPC gives a dramatic speech. Points to a ship closing in from the sea.
