I just ran a Missions game on Tuesday where I almost put two characters down for good. The group managed to drag one away, but the other is now locked up tight in a K.E. prison.
Wow... saw this thread when it got moved, and this put me in the Way Back Machine. And yes, I
STILL get grief about the incident.
What nobody seems to remember is that I was planning on firing into the crowd from about 200 meters away, using a Battle Rifle from behind the cover of my
heavily armored SUV, then hopping in and peeling out on the 2nd IP after I'd gotten everyone all nice and distracted. Unfortunately the other character, the one that got caught, decided to open up on the Triads as well, with a pair of pistols.
I probably should have bailed and left him, since that would have been more in character
and smarter, but I was new at the time and still thinking in D&D terms, so I tried to stay and fight so he could get out of there.
