Heh.

I wouldn't so much say it was a plan, so much that from prior experience of some of the players, I was fairly sure that they'd ask their employer for a way to get their hands on weaponry if they saw any hint of danger.

Which... turned out to be true, in a way, in that they explored the possibility, just when they were immersed in events on the island with the luxury resort, they didn't want to take several hours out of their day to sail to the next island and obtain weapons. Especially not if that would expose them to legal risks if the police came over, as some players were contemplating calling the cops.

But it is a good reminder that if you want to have coherent worldbuilding whereever the players choose to focus, you need to prepare a lot of stuff that never gets used.
