I read about some go-gangs where they prowl the highways to raid truck merchandise amongst other things. My players are about to smuggle some goods using a Bulldog Van (for the goods) and an SUV (for additional manpower transportation).
I was wondering, how can a troll go-gang can be taken seriously ?? The gang's most probably not cybered, got good Pilot skill, probably some firearms, and why not flails to dent the van. The gang can't possibly ram the Bulldog Van (I'm assuming they're on bikes), but they will probably have an easy time following the players because of speed and handling. I'd like to scare or challenge the players with something mundane, realistic, and without any tie to the main run, much like a random encounter. Thoughts and ideas are welcome. Tx. |
