Josh is sat at a desk holding up a pen and paper excitedly.
Pens and paper at the ready. Let’s do some exciting writing!
As the storyteller, you help us see the story as you imagine it.
A thought bubble appears above Josh’s head, filling the screen.
We see Aria dressed in a suit of armour.
Yes, our main character. A courageous knight on an epic quest.
Our hero is looking for treasure… but where?
Aria the knight performs actions to represent brave and courageous, before looking down at a treasure map of the castle with a route marked in red.
In a dark, spooky castle of course.
Aria the knight creeps through a dark corridor as a roar echoes through the castle.
Thunderous roars echo through the room.
Gruesome ghosts hide around every corner.
We see spooky hands and eyes peeping around corners and hiding in the dark.
Wow, that was exciting.
The nightmarish roars get louder as they approach a large creaky door.
The door is slowly opening with a tense, heavy, rusty creak.
What beast must lay on the other side? A spiky, scaly, smelly and… small dragon.
We see close ups of parts of the dragon’s body, the teeth, the scales, the spikes, a plume of fart.
Ahh, they look like an adorable, friendly dragon.
Look! The treasure, how intriguing! Oh, another treasure map!
A great starting point for our next piece of exciting writing!
