Hey guys,

At the risk of tipping my hand if any of my players are reading...
I have a storyline coming up involving ghouls.

The theory is...
1. There are several opposing gangs in Milwaukee.
2. One of my teams basically depopulated one of the darker gangs in town.
3. That gang was using captured ghouls to dispose of bodies and evidence.
4. With that gang dissolved, the ghouls have escaped.
5. The group gets hired to hunt the ghouls down.
6. The ghouls have taken to hiding underground in a series of trapped sewer passages.
7. Interestingly enough, the ghouls just want to be left alone and will pay the group in scavenged technology for passage out of the city.


So...if you were a ghoul...what kind of traps would you use?
- I'd imagine they prefer to capture people alive.
- They're usually blind and poor, so nothing too fancy.
- Is the idea of a ghoul underground railroad just too damn stupid to function?
