Game and Story Use

• The images can be useful handouts if the GM wants to show the players how a powerful underwater explosion looks on the surface.
• Some of the images look like giant, smoky monsters rising from the ocean, and could be portrayed as such in a game.
• Given the location of Tonga in the southern Pacific Ocean, these explosions might be a sign that Cthulhu or a similar monstrosity is awakening from slumber.
