Using Omens proactively
Keen for thoughts on my intended approach
In one of my holdings I rolled as a drama/woe that there was a beast terrorising the holding.
Separately I rolled for a different holding that the main gate is broken.
I wove these sparks together so that the town with the beast is the source of the realm’s lumber industry and as a result of the beast, lumber supply has stopped, thus preventing repair of the gate.
So, soon my players will travel to the holding to confront the beast. Great.
I’ve been trying to work out what the beast should be, and whether it’s ok for it to be just an isolated thing (knowing that my players will 100% assume it is part of a myth). I also was a bit worried about just plucking a beast from one of the unused myths.
One of my myths is The Cudgel, which has as one of its omens a Hawkleon as a beast to fight/interact with.
Anyone see issues with my nudging the omens so that they encounter this myth when they get to the forest, even if they are not technically up to that omen in sequence?
Also in my thinking is that from the Boar myth my players have the tusks that will (once) instant kill any beast they wound. So they might kill the Hawleon very easily. But that’s probably fine, right?
