[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 1599400, member: 835"] ********* In the morning, mention that it's a little breezy, and let it pick up as the day goes on. A little while after the boat gets parked out by the lake, rain starts and the wind keeps picking up. Not dangerous yet, but enough a lone security guard would take note of a fishing boat obstinately staying put right off shore when any sane local would have gone in for the day. ******** One of the rich/famous patients is a major drug addict, and a supplier arrives by boat with a delivery. The two fishermen see the deal, and the buyer and dealer know they've seen - they, too, assume the characters are photographers, but have more to lose than a security guard and more willingnes to do something about it. ******** If the party has anything that might be considered illegal, a variant of the preceding scenario would be to assume that law enforcement assumes that the characters are drug dealers, and want to board the boat and conduct a search. ******** Someone else is trying to escape the island - She swims to the boat and begs to be taken away. Her story seems creible at first, but gradually it falls apart, until eventually it's clear she's actually utterly nuts. Paranoid with delusions of grandeur, for example. The character can either return her to the island (make sure she gets her revenge on them for this, later in the campaign), thus providing them with an excuse to go to the island, or help her escape, but have to deal with having a crazy person among them.
