+description: Assemble a DM prep brief for the next Baltun'ia session — pulls together the NPCs, POIs, factions, threats, and dangling plot hooks relevant to where the party currently is, with quick-reference stats and ready-to-use hooks. Use when the DM says "help me prep", "what do I need for next session", "the party is heading to X — get me ready", or before a game.

+
+# Prepare for the Next Session
+
+First read `.claude/skills/_shared/vault-conventions.md`.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Locate the party.** Read the most recent recap in `3. Session Recaps/` and
+   `z_other/Campaign Flow.md` to find where the party is, what they just did,
+   and what's unresolved. Ask the DM where they're likely to go next if it's open.
+
+2. **Gather the relevant slice of the world.** For the current/expected
+   location, collect: the city/region note, the POIs there, the NPCs filed in
+   those POIs, and the factions active in the area. Pull open threads (debts,
+   promises, enemies made, unanswered questions) from recent recaps and the
+   Campaign Flow.
+
+3. **Surface the live tensions.** Tie the local situation to the campaign's
+   through-lines (the Crown Elect election, automaton rights, the ley-line
+   conspiracy from the Campaign Premise).
+
+4. **Produce a prep brief** (output in chat — do not write a vault note unless
+   asked) with these sections:
+   - **Where we left off** — 2–3 sentences.
+   - **Likely scenes / locations** — each POI with a one-line vibe + link.
+   - **NPCs in play** — name, role, voice cue, what they want, their secret/hook.
+   - **Factions & agendas** — who's maneuvering and how.
+   - **Open hooks & threats** — dangling threads the party can pull, plus
+     possible complications.
+   - **Loose ends to decide** — questions only the DM can answer, asked directly.
+
+5. **Offer follow-ups** — e.g. stat a missing NPC (create-npc), flesh out a POI
+   the party may visit (create-poi), or draft an in-world document for a handout.
