[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 2936714, member: 26698"] [B]'A Sin City Christmas'[/B] [B]Timeline:[/B] December 24, 2003. [B]Location:[/B] Old Town, Sin City. [B]Situation:[/B] Sin City was a hellhole before even The Vanishing: everybody was a cutthroat, maniac, paranoid wack that just wanted any reason to deal with the (relative) Devil and shoot the other guy. And nothing- not even Christmas eve- would make it change. Now, the PCs are stuck in the middle of the hellhole, in one of the most nasty nights of the year in Sin City, just in time for all hell to break loose-a massive theft, a kidnapping, the recovery of a demonic text, and a battle for the control of Old Town. The Silent Night is going to be set on fire. [B]HOOKS:[/B] Whatever the characters might do during their 'normal' lives, they might have stopped on Basin to rest, visit somebody during Christmas, or making an emergency buy. The adventure starts on a local mall during said buying. [B]DEVELOPMENT:[/B] Right as they are shopping, a truck crashes straight thru a wall, and several extremely attractive girls dressed in Santa Claus clothes and packing automatic weapons will climb out of the back and steal all nearby toys before barreling thru the front door. The chase will follow thru highly transited streets and thru Little Saigon before stopping on old Town-and all cops that had followed the truck will immediately turn tail. Because, you see, the 'Santas' were a bunch of Old Town girls that were nabbing toys for the poor kids. The PCs, of course, will not know that, and just as the Old Town girls are pulling out their guns and taking aim... "Easy, girls.... they're friends of mine". It's an Alternate of John Constantine, searching for help to locate and retrieve the diary of a Ludovico Amoros-a high-class cultist that was based on Basin. His 'employer' will be able to pay half a mil to every PC, but John's flight leaves at midnight, and so the PCs must hurry )if the PCs atill don't want to help... well, John's a magician). The location of the diary is in a local Christmas party given by the Major, who has plans for the book-plans that involve his daughter and the unborn child inside her. She will help the PCs find the diary if they help him get her away. As all things happen, all of a sudden a helicopter will appear with armed troops- the "Finnegan's Boys", a local gang of Irish mercs, that will retrieve the daughter and fly her to Old Town (if the PCs let them), where they'll just leave her in the street to be picked up by the Old Town girls. When they arrive, the PCs will have a short time to relax (and notice that John is playing the 'Santa' of the party), and right then, the daughter's water will break. And, very nervously, the Girls' leader will let the PCs know that the girl cannot stay-or else it will be the end of the truce. The PCs MUST convince the girls to not give over the daughter-or else, she will become the victim of whatever ritual the major had planned. And then all Hell- of all calibers- will break loose. The birth will complicate. The Police will arrive with everything-helicopters, SWAT, armored cars, negotiator (an Alternate of Chris Sabian), Finnegan's Boys attacking from the sewers in the middle of the battle, and even riot police. They will make two strikes and the major charge straight at midnight, authorized by the Major himself. [B]REWARD:[/B] The PCs (those that survive the siege) will be paid by John's employers and possibly John will owe them a favor, aside from those of Old Town that survive. [/QUOTE]
