It wasn't my run, but my understanding was the run was a bust, and the old man 'dissappeared'.  Bet he was a proud poppa.

A few of my runners ended up getting black-mailed like that once. We handled it a bit better, but then again, I think a retarded seware rat could have handled it better than that guy.

because it would have been more difficult for that rat to go arround kicking everything.

"i need to go shopping."
"okay."
"i kick open my door."
"it's already broken."
"okay, well, i look for people to kick down the stairs as i leave."
"there's a pile of dead bodies at the foot of the stairs, and everyone runs as they hear you stomp out of your pad."
"okay, i kick the dead bodies, and go to the store."
"alright. you make it to the store."
"i kick it."
"the store?"
"yes. unitll it breaks. i use all my combat pool."
"okay... you kick a hole in the wall next to the door and emerge into the store through a chip display."
"okay. now i need to see if they sell shoes. i go over and kick the cleark."
"okay, you beat the cleark unconcious."
"i kick him again, untill he tells me if they sell shoes."
"okay, you kick his unconcious form untill it dies."
"dam. i hate it when that happens. i look for shoes."
"no. this is a stuffer shack, they have nerps slippers though."
"i kick thoes arround while i try to think of where to get shoes."

Okay, here's one:


Shi New the Tiger Shapeshifter Adept and his "buddy" Dros the Incredibly Vindictive Mage decide to strongarm a group of Smuggler's dropping of a load of Magical Reagents at their spot under the Mercer Bridge (Towards Council Island) Dros pretends to be a retarded bum while the boat moors at the beach under the bridge. Dros then summons a Water Elemental and proceeds to have it engulf the passengers. All of the smugglers drown horribly. The Runners proceed to loot the boat. I trapped most of the boxes and Dros already figured I would, so he has Shi New do the "disarming." Like the smart kitty he is, he gets stuck with some poisoned razor blades, a cyanide dart, and some monowire (he lives through all of it.) During the search they find several kilos of unrefined quartz, refined rubies and emeralds and some virgin balsa wood. Dros slips some of the rubies into his pockets

Above, the guards at the checkpoint start on the megaphone. Dros leaves all the stuff behind and bolts. Shi New, the very smart kitty, decides that he wants to keep the boat and rears it in reverse and barrels away across the lake. The guards open fire, dealing deadly damage several times. Shi New, having NO BOAT SKILL keeps going. He moors at a nearby dock. A dock worker, working the nightshift asks him what the frag he's doing.

Shi New replies, "Nothing." The worker, obviously not convinced, gets ready to yell. Then kitty speaks up and says, "Here! You can have this boat, just let me get this stuff off of it." The worker agrees, not aware of the 3 drowned bodies in the cabin below. Shi New offloads only the Talismans and then high-tails it way, carrying a large crate of quartz and balsa wood. He then gets a cab and heads off to offload the goods.

Later, using Dros' Talismonger contact, Shi New sells the goods, but then Dros sneaks the contact to the side and agrees to sell his rubies at an inflated price and for him to buy the rest of the stuff at a dramatically lower price. Shi New ends up with like 5000 nuyen and Dros gets like 20000.


Total Value of a GMC Riverine with Assault Cannon plus all the cyberware and gear that the Smugglers had?

Around 250,000 nuyen, which now belongs to Lonestar and modified to be an anti-smuggling patrol boat.

I'm all about keeping the boat. that's a job winner there. i'd learn to drive the thing, and bribe the dock worker to help me move it somewhere sneekey by giving them all of the cargo.

Yes, from that point on, I made it a point NEVER to let anyone play a Shapeshifter. They're just too uber.

Yea. i don't mind throwing the PC's into a fight with one, just to see the sad look on their faces when after they run out of ammo it get's back up...

but i don't think it would be much fun to let them play one.

i've already gone down the super-power path, and i didn't like the end of it.

"okay, you are all powerfull. God wants to fight you."
"I kick his ASS! (rolls dice) okay,... then add three billiion..."
"Fine. you kill god. what are you going to do now."
"uh... well, i could walk in lava for awhile... i'm immune to it you see, that could be fun..."
