I’ve got a player who is kind of unhappy with the situation their character has landed in, and wants a quick out (it’s a very early session and the die have been really hard on her. now she’s next to empty and was just caught feeding off a homeless dude and only has 3 blood). She’s now crying alone in a park, far away from home, hoping that no one is after her. So I thought I would introduce some weird Strix stuff to try to shake things up. The player doesn't know that the Strix are malicious.
What I’m thinking is a Strix lands in front of her, tells her that she is being pursued, and offers to help her. It then leads her to some creepy place, has her perform a ritual, and leads her through an opening into whatever shadowy otherworld the Strix come from. I figure the friendly Strix will then get her through to some location in the otherworld, have her perform the ritual, and then she'll be spat out in a new location in our world.
But I need to fill the Strix Otherworld so that she's got things to do and isn't completely railroaded.
What would you do to provide some interactivity?
