I was running a basic, get in and grab a brief case full of incriminating documents. The place is a plastic surgeon clinic in Bellevue (front area has no cameras to ensure privacy of the the client). The importance of the documents only known by the Johnson and the accountant laundering money.
One player had no plan, walked off while the other players went inside the building disguised as a girl-scout... she's 16.... after sneaking into the back and distributing free cookies, she managed cause a slight amount of chaos with the guards and cameras. Another player broke in disguised as a janitor... (this company hires meta for demeaning jobs like security detail and service, he also took blandness) he headed straight to the room, while fulfilling his role by cleaning up messes left by careless employs. A team of two players went in through the back door, one manning a Lonestar car (One of the Runners is an ex-lonestar) keeping the ex-cop updated while directing the NPC tecnomancer at her house (He is 15 and homeless). Finally, the Ex commando broke in through the ventilation shaft (the motion sensor was in disrepair). As a fairly new Gm, I did not know how to react... this was 4 groups within the table of 5, acting independent of each-other... causing enough chaos for each other to create a whacky day at the office but nothing overt as cameras shutting down. I did what any self respecting Gm does in that situation... find a reason for them to get caught... turns out when you ask the prodigy hacker to make you a pass that opens any door, this kinda grabs the attention of the security spider...(Because no one has access to everywhere). Needless to say the security spider locked down the back entrances and turned off the doors leading out of the back level. (they do not want to create a situation for their clients) Things went well, everyone got out... but this begs the question of what does a Gm do when the party decides to split off into several groups, do their own thing and basically operate without each other's knowledge. Basically giving them 4 shots to do the job. |
