Flotsam - Passive:

• Critical Success: Gain information from Success with Hope and an appropriate treasure.
• Success with Hope: The name and origin of the ship, and what kind of ship it was, types of cargo it might have carried, perhaps even signs pointing the party toward their goal.

• Failure with Hope: Mark a Stress but lean on a character’s goals (perhaps by pointing the way toward their goal).

Boiling Fury - Action:
Spend a Fear to have a lava vent burst out boiling water in a line upward. All targets within Very Close range of that line must succeed on an Agility Reaction Roll. Targets who fail take
2d6+6 magic damage and if they use armor to reduce the damage, they must mark 2 Armor Slots.
What is causing these eruptions? Are their warnings signs or sounds that give the party a sign?
No Escape Here - Action:
Spend a Fear to cause an earthquake that collapses a tunnel or send the remains of a sunken ship crashing down on the PC heads. This could cause the party to split up or have to take a more dangerous route.
Did any of the PCs get caught in the falling debris? What alternative ways might there be out of this place?
Patrols - Reaction:
Countdown (5). When the PCs enter the scene activate the countdown. When it triggers, have the triggering PC make a fate roll with their Fear die. The number is how many BP you have to spend on an encounter using the Naga in the Potential Adversaries section.
Spend a Fear to restart the countdown.
Are the adversaries actively looking for the party? Do they catch the PCs off guard?
