We were one-short for the game tonight, so I decided to run a Spycraft one-shot I've been working on. We only got about 3/4 of the way through it, but it was a lot of fun.
Here's the plot if anyone is interested--maybe someone else can use it. I don't really have much in the way of stats since the agents were all 1st level and I kind of winged it for much of the game.
Ok, Scott or Brian, if you are reading this... you shouldn't be reading this!
Mission #1: The agents are sent to Vienna, home to OPEC headquarters, to investigate an OPEC minister (Mahmoud Husan) from the United Arab Emirates suspected of dealing with terrorists. If hard evidence of terrorist links can be obtained, the Agency can pressure the minister into becoming an asset capable of affecting the worldwide oil supply.
Resolution: The agents record a meeting of the OPEC minister, the CEO (Jacque Renard) of a French oil company (Petron), and a known terrorist (Ali Abdul-Qahhar). The CEO’s executive secretary is kidnapped by the terrorists to induce the CEO to go along with “the conspiracy”.
[Hehe, my PCs ignored the kidnapping of the secretary and focused on the mission. They are good agents.]
Mission #2: Petron is implicated in the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal. The agents are sent to investigate Renard’s office at the company’s headquarters in Paris to discover more about the conspiracy.
Complication: The terrorists have what they need from Renard and have decided to eliminate him. When the agents break into the office, they find the CEO dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. A bomb is set to detonate in 30 seconds.
Resolution: The agents discover a file named Operation Crusade. In it they find records of Petron’s recent hostile takeover of Texoil, a small oil company in the US. They also find printouts from the website of EnviroGen, a California biotech researching oil-eating bacteria used to clean up oil spills.
[This is as far as we got tonight. We stopped with a PC flipping over the file to discover the bomb counting down. 23... 22... 21...]
Mission #3: Texoil is required to pay back an oil debt to the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve that it incurred during the 2004 hurricane season. Petron purchased Texoil and intends to introduce EnviroGen’s oil-eating bacteria to the tankers carrying Texoil’s repayment to the SPR site in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Renard and Husan hoped to destroy over 50% of the US’s oil reserve thereby driving oil prices up and destabilizing the US government. They recruited Ali Abdul-Qahhar and his men to deliver the tankers to the SPR. The agents are sent to Louisiana to intercept the shipment and apprehend (or terminate) the terrorists.
Complication: The terrorists have purchased a nuclear weapon from Iran and are planning to smuggle it to Baton Rouge in the tankers. They will detonate the weapon and not only destroy the SPR, but the largest oil refinery in the US.
Resolution: After fighting a running battle with tanker-driving terrorists, the agents must disarm a nuclear weapon.
