Craziest stunt you pulled and LIVED!, Love that 'Daredevil' edge Options

[fistandantilus4....]

My favorite part of any game is when a player is just about hosed and they go for some insane idea that has just the slimmest chance of saving their sorry hide and actually pulls it off. I'm curious about what kinds of "this will never work" stunts you all have managed to pull off. This is "stupid character deaths". You have to have lived through it.

I'll start it off with an example. I have a character that goes by the name of Havoc. He's a human mage (chaos mage of course). HE has the Daredevil edge, and the braggart and distinctive style flaws. Scary combination, but I thought it would be fun!

He was hired for a solo run (no one else could make it that night) for a willing extraction out of the Renraku Arcology. Now how could that POSSIBLY go wrong!?
Anyways, short story long, he's up in the target's room (target happens to be a 5 year old girl kidnapped by Daddy in a bad divorce. I worked for Mommy), and well, I hosed up. security chief type guy (daddy) is banging on the door I just locked, and the Res Samurai are of course on their way. Running a bit short on options at that point.
So I got this marvelous idea to lightning bolt the window, and jump out it. Thank god they lived on the outside. I didn't have anything smart in mind like say, oh, a levitate spell. Nope! I decided it would be a good idea to slide down the side of the arcology! After gaining a LOT of speed, I started throwing up barrier speels to make little chutes to zig zag across with, and slow myself down a bit.
Luckily my GM was to bus being stunned by what a stupid idea I had come up with to really frag me over with things like smacking my ass all over the building because it is NOT perfectly smooth. DID open a window in front of me at one point though.
However, I managed to get all the way off the building, little girl in tow (she's now terrified of heights for the rest of her life), and was promptly arrested by Lone Star (good ol' AAA zone). Better than the Red Sammy's though. Luckily Mommy had legal custody. I was shot while trying to escape (actually escaped though, with a lot of help).


So please, post away. Hopefully yours are more far fetched than mine. I'd hate to have the least reputable story out there. :D


Oh, by the way, the Red Samurai DID hunt me down later and make me pay. Big time.
