[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7631520, member: 6803337"] I'm not familiar with 2000AD or Judge abilities, but here are some cliché events to deal with: - Somebody shoots at the car with a pistol - Somebody shoots at the car with a bazooka - Somebody shoots a dart at the tires, to give the car a flat and make it stop. (Best in a city so the ambushers can come thundering around the corner.) - Plant bomb under car before trip begins - Minefield or single IED along deserted stretch of road - "Motorcycle gang" drives by but does not bother car; this is a look-see mission to make sure this IS the car they want. - Message warning of ambush arrives just as group gets into car and starts moving - Does the car have an escort of other vehicles? The parade draws attention that the car alone would not. - The PCs get to drive ahead and check the road for mines &c before the car comes by - This is all a decoy and the real witness is going somewhere else - Old wrecked vehicle is site of an ambush - especially if vehicle is a bus or truck that can be reinforced on the inside - Stop for dinner and somebody - roll randomly - gets food poisoning. Obviously aimed at the witness - Stop for dinner and somebody - roll randomly - gets food poisoning. The cook really is that bad at his job. - PCs find a pistol taped under toilet in restaurant (homage to a scene in The Godfather) - The witness finds a pistol taped under toilet in restaurant. How cooperative is (s)he, really? - Local petty criminals 'mark' the group and put out word. Now the usual chatter and activity and stuff you want to blend into to hide, is just gone. - Car breaks down because nobody took it in for 25,000-mile preventative maintenance - Car is sabotaged to break down in the middle of nowhere. Dehydration in the desert kills the witness just as dead as bullets. - Car is sabotaged to break down swiftly because the local car theft ring wants to put it through their chop shop. - Staying at a cheap motel for the night? Oops, it is where the local petty criminals stay, too; poor fieldwork. - The Cat's Meow is down the block from your hotel, and somebody sniffs out that you have money / supplies / influence. [/QUOTE]
