[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 804351, member: 3649"] Excellent :) The main villainess in a Call of Cthulhu run did something similar. I was adapting the 'At Your Door' scenario book, running a modern day campaign. A minor character in the module, Madalyn Findley, became a major player when I decided that she in addition to being cultist and a cannibal, also distributed tapes of her 'cooking show' to the underground. They got hold of a few of these tapes and were stunned at the intense depravity displayed; hardened vice cops stumbled out of the viewing and lost their lunch. Needless to say, they decided that Madelyn had to die. They tried to get her a couple times, but she managed to escape at the last moment, through sheer luck. The time came, though, that a stupid player did the wrong thing and the wrong time, and their enemies became aware that these people (the characters) knew of their activies, and began to eliminate them. They'd been doing an excellent job up until then. Madelyn cast an illusion of herself on an innocent random woman, and the party sees 'Madelyn' cross the street just a few feet ahead of them. Madelyn had thought they'd trail the woman to a place where her tcho-tcho thugs had arranged an ambush (and a free appearance in her next underground video). Imagine her surprise (and mine) when the characters leap from the car, draw guns on the woman in public and gun her down like a dog, emptying entire clips into her in a manner that would be the envy of any LA cop. Two arrests later, it's Madelyn: 4, Party:0 :) One character is killed in his cell by magic, while the other is routed to physciatric hospital run by one of Madelyn's cultist buddies. Imagine his surprise when they wheel him in for his first therapy session, only to find instead of the psychiatrist, there's Madelyn with a steel table draped in plastic sheeting, a bone saw, and a scalpel, motioning her cameraman to get the best angle...
