[Impact]

Okay, planning a nasty run for my players - wanting to make it pretty tight, so here's what i have so far and let's see the holes....

the setup:

a few games back, one of the players(who invited teh team back to his house with the merchandise they were stealing) blew up his domicile after the team ran on discovery that the corp who's ledger books they had obtained(namely, Disney), had located tehm and was on the way. Player, who had neglected to inform me that he had wired his house, sez that he's setting the house to explode once the Disney team is inside.

I let this happen, since, well, this is an ecellent opportunity to instruct the players in why we don;t do such things.

Okay. So, player goes into hidding, and time has passed. He's running VERY low on cash, and things seemed to have cooled off(disney not having much of any prescence in their town). So, he's going to get contacted about a job, and being broke..well, he's gonna take it.

So - who's behind the job? turns out the blast killed 3 out of 5 disney sams, and one of teh 2 survivors didn't really make it out 100%. Together, the two convinced the widows and widower of the 3 ictims to donate 1/2 of their insurance policy to punish their spouse's murderer.

The players get offered a one-time deal: An out-of town job has been completely hosed, hosed so bad that it's not safe to re-shop it locally due to the high chance of teh target being aware of teh team getting the job. So, the gentlemen from Chicago come to teh player town of St. Louis to offer it there. The fee: 25k just to listen, in person, in Chi-town, paid before they even arrive. The job itself is rumored to run over 500,000k a person. No other details will be given before the meet, due to the already aware nature of the target.

The players will have to arrange transport to chi-town, which assuming the rigger's in is no big deal(big truck) and have to find teh meet. Mind you, none of the characters is familiar w/ chi-town, so this will be fun.

The meet:

The met is being held in a resturant near the shattergraves, obstensibly located there due to the massively weird astral situation that makes it almost impossible to percieve, this making it a fav spot for meets. It is indeed, but not being locals, the crew doesn;t know that it's a ghoul and organlegger hangout, as well as hiring hall for the most twisted and depraved - people that would be attending Neal Gaiman's "Cereal convention", if you will. Fava beans are definately on the menu:)

The players will sit down in a seperate room, getting enough info to set off a weird untrusting vibe, but not enough info to scare them off. The Johnson will show up, via holo-projector and a Steel Lynx drone, which will drop credsticks and datachips to the crew. The projector will shut down, the drone go into sleep mode, and dinner will be served.

Would you like thigh, breast, or leg?

At thispoint, teh runners should be panicing, and the room is rather well sealed - if they look on th datachips, the targets are - themselves. The one way out of the room is provided by the Steel Lynx, which begins to exit rapidly out of a side door - with quickness tests to see if they can get out in time.


Into an access tunnel. Lined with family photos of the deceased, "World's Best Mom" coffee mug, a picture of a young man holding a 2 year old up, both in mouse ears....you get the picture. While above, the beating of hungry ghouls is echoed in their eardrums....

good start? what do i need to address, to make sure they get to the tunnel?
