During the “Heist Stratagem”
mission I ran at Balticon this past weekend, the players managed to
circumvent having to deal with the bank robbers quite well. Though
they failed one of their mission parameters by doing so (which was to
make sure the robbers didn't harm the civilians—they left the
civilians with the robbers!), they did manage to get what they came
for during the heist distraction, and rescued the undercover
operative that had staged the heist and was posing as a bank robber.
However, when they took two cars and tried to escape the scene, an
armored mafia vehicle (the mafia owned the bank) was soon in pursuit,
and soon, the police were in pursuit as well. The team decided to
split up, and the mafia vehicle and two police followed one to the
right while a single police car stayed with the other to the left.
The team on the left managed to shake the police car by dropping
magnetic caltrops, escaping with the undercover operative, but the
other half of the team made a tactical error—the driver decided to
slam on his breaks to cause the following police cars to crash into
him. While he and his team were dazed and trying to recover from the
painful crash, the armored mafia car pulled in front of them and
finished them all off with a mounted point-defense cannon. I guess we
can say the positive side is that half the team survived and
completed the mission...?
