No, you don't pull out another Wendigo to up the challenge. What you do is pull out the Wendigo's uninfected kid, who runs out swinging his plastic Neil the Ork Barbarian sword to save mommy from the bad men.

Any GM can pull out extra opposition to prevent an overwhelming PC victory. It takes someone special to let them have their easy victory and yet make them feel like total assholes for it.

The real trick is to time it so that the PCs still have a precious few seconds to perform first aid on the dying Wendigo, without stretching the rules, so that they have a chance to avoid a depressing ending without being coddled.

Wait, so when this happens, you're not supposed to shoot the kid too?

It depends on your group, I guess. Its the kind of thing that separates the Robin Hoods and half-decent guys from the amoral bloodthirsty motherfraggers.

ic.gif Authorities have called the murder of a five-year-old Ork boy and his mother "a brutal and vicious hate crime." Jan Tchaikovsky, an Evo employee, was on vacation with her five-year-old son, Devon, when both were gunned down by several unidentified assailants. Tchaikovsky was a Wendigo, having been infected with HMHVV due to a hospital error when she was undergoing routine breast cancer treatment two years ago. There is some speculation that her HMHVV status may have been the motivation behind the attack. Still many believe that she and her son were killed simply because they were Orks.

"Those damn breeders have been killing babies for as long as we've been around. One of these days we're going to got tired of this d-expletive bleeped- and kill all of those Humanis motherfr-expletive bleeped-"

- Cut back to reporter -

Jan Tchaikovsky is survived by her mother and two brothers. Devon's father was killed in an automobile accident earlier this year. Evo is offering a 50,000 nuyen.gif reward for any information leading to the capture or conviction of the perpetrators of this heinous crime. ic.gif


Maybe expect an influx of anti-metahuman wetwork requests from Humanis and Alamos 40k Johnsons. Blowing up MOM chapters, that sort of stuff.

No, you are supposed to tase it, dose it with Leäl and then PAB it into a productive corporate citizen after disposing of the maneating abomination.
