They fight off an attack by a savage warrior nation mounted on velociraptors, and discover the caravan is smugging magical artifacts that they know are used to summoun people from great distances (only they can't tell WHO these artifacts would summoun...) and they're feeling pretty good about themselves and it's midnight so the game session's pretty much over when I announce, "Next morning, you see dinosaurs approaching from all sides.""How many dinosaurs?""Maybe 500. T-Rexes and big ceratopsians.""Savages riding them?""Yep.""So that's something like 2,000 blood-crazed warriors attacking from all sides mounted on gigantic beasts that are either so armoured as to be impervious to our weapons or else so powerful they can EAT most of our guards? And we're, what, at least three days' travel from the nearest civilised city? In a land that is A) fanatically hostile to outsiders, B) apparently getting geared up by an insane goddess to destroy the world and C) possibly the world's biggest spell focus ever, so that if we interfere with ANYTHING we might just trigger the end of the world anyway?""Yep. See you next week."Now THAT'S plotting, kids. Leave that wimpy touchy-feely stuff for whoever it is what plays those World of Darkness games.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
