[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 6141524, member: 7533"] Not too long ago, I was running a Star Wars adventure set during the Clone Wars... The characters were all "troubleshooters" for a neutral faction. A bacta (super healing fluid!) super-tanker belonging to the faction had disappeared, and the characters had been sent to locate it and retrieve it before either the Republic or Separatists could get their hands on it. They'd gotten hold of an astromech droid that had the coordinates of the tanker and were heading back to the starport to upload them into their ship's navigational computer... And that's when they notice someone discreetly following them... They have a little trouble losing him because the droid is slowing them down, so they decide to split up... he follow them all, right? One of them stops at a nearby hotdog stand, while the other three all bugger off in different directions at the next street intersection. I take the first player aside... "The guy who's following you stops at a newsstand and starts browsing. You're pretty sure he's still keeping a surreptitious eye on you." I take the second player aside... "For a minute, it looks as if you've lost him. But then, you notice he's caught up to you and is inconspicuously following you again." I take the third player aside... "For a minute, it looks as if you've lost him. But then, you notice he's caught up to you and is inconspicuously following you again." I take the fourth player aside... "For a minute, it looks as if you've lost him. But then, you notice he's caught up to you and is inconspicuously following you again." It took the players nearly an hour of individually running around in circles futilely trying to lose their tails -- some of them were beginning to mildly freak out about it -- before they finally realized that it wasn't a single person following them... It was actually a team of a half dozen Covert Ops Clone Troopers all dressed alike in identical Hawaiian shirts and chinos. [/QUOTE]
