So, my group is playing Ghost Cartels right now. They just completed the "Dirty Pretty Money" run. Please stop reading now if you don't want any spoiler info, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum. My players should stay out of this thread please.




So, they ended up in a firefight with the Yakuza in the garage, that scenario. Long story short, they escaped by car just after the FBI finished dropping men on the roof via chopper.

So naturally, the chopper pursues them. Since they are downtown at noon their escape options by car are limited to say the least. I ask the driver if he's going to stop at red lights and obey traffic laws, and he says "No, I'll do whatever I need to to keep moving." So, running lights, driving in oncoming traffic lanes, etc. The player is unwilling to ditch the car, think "BA from the 'A-Team' and his van" type attachment. Also it doesn't help that he has a rocket launcher in the trunk.

Anyhow, they decide the only thing they can do is go to the Aztechnology Pyramid for it's extraterritoriality. They have the NPC hacker arrange a bribe and favor to let them on the property despite the chopper pursuit. Amounted to 20,000 and a favor to an Aztec manager to be handled later. Before leaving the property they visited an on site dealership and got a repaint from the garage.

So, I feel like they payed pretty harshly for this, but they forgot something important. They didn't do anything about the plates. They ran red lights so that means the traffic cams took pictures, not to mention the chopper's video surveillance. So the car is still driving around with the license plates that links them to that scene... I don't know what to do in a "fairness" perspective. They already dropped a big wad of cash and owe a favor that may very will get them into huge trouble... Should I just let it slide? Should I pursue it as they overlooked a very important detail? I need a few opinions.
