When things are dire, sometimes the PCs lose an opportunity they once had. A softer version of this move might be to collapse the party's straightforward pathway through a cave system, forcing them to find another, more treacherous way to escape. A harder version of this move would be to kill a valuable NPC or destroy a powerful object the party desperately needs. These moves can be used to great effect when you want to twist the trajectory of the story in a new direction.
