Improv from being blindsided by player antics can lead to some of the best sessions. Had this happen the other day:
>gang are on an island village following plot hooks I threw out
>have a random encounter where pirates show up looking for them (they stole something from the BBEG like 20 sessions ago)
>design the encounter so that they'll run and hide with the villagers
>instead they decide it's a good idea to go out and wave their dicks around and taunt the pirates then set up some Seven Samurai defenses to help the villagers
I had to improv battle maps, the amount of pirates, lore for the captain of the ship and what all the villagers were capable of, all while indulging their questions and overpreparing. It snowballed into a big King of the Hill fight against like 15 dudes vs them and some named NPCs until they eventually got beat up by the captain and taken prisoner. I genuinely have no idea what's gonna happen next, everything I'd planned out for the next few sessions has been derailed, and I'm here for it.
