13: The Three Little Pigs
And sometimes the wolf doesn’t bother to hide his intentions at all.
Three brothers build houses out of different materials. A wolf comes along to eat them, but first has to huff and puff and blow their houses in. So the one who built a house that can withstand being breathed on defeats him.
Most PCs would probably go straight for the sensible building option.
The 1933 Disney version gave us the term Big Bad Wolf, which is used afterwards as a nickname for the character type across several stories. Disney used it as the title for his second appearance in a version of Little Red Riding Hood in 1934.
Big Bad is used as shorthand for the seasonal villain in Buffy, in passing by Buffy in season three, and by Spike trying to make himself sound tough starting in season four.
A House Of Straw
The PCs have to defend a supposedly fortified location that proves to have been built by the lowest bidder. And then it happens again. Surely it can’t happen three times?
