1. That Sinking Feeling

Once the players are ready to begin, read or paraphrase the following to set the scene:

"A cool breeze drifts across Flora Isle, mingling the sweet scent of flowers with the salty tang of the Lucidian Ocean. Well-tanned locals play on the beach, while sunburned visitors sit in wicker chairs and sip cold drinks. A half-dozen nearly naked shark hunters preparing to compete in the annual tournament stand in the shallows on the south shore, armed with harpoons and their wits."

The players now have the chance to describe what their characters are doing in the scene you’ve established. Your group can play out these scenes as short vignettes, with each player establishing what a normal day is like for the characters before the action begins.
Once the scene is set, proceed to the next section. If you or your players don’t feel comfortable roleplaying a short two-person scene to set the mood, let the players quickly summarize what their characters are doing, then get straight into the action.
