The controlled official will act on said info, giving them an official reason for the military to be there and gain aid of the local police. It's a little overkill for such a tip, but it will all turn out to be correct if fighting starts out and there will be little questions as to why the soldiers were there.Set up rings of defence. Police with soldiers carrying guns to act as road blocks. They will stop all travellers and not let them get through. Anybody suspicous will be detained (for three days) for questioning. Of course the police and military will have as good of descriptions of the PCs as possible. For this layer of defence and later, remember that the first duty of a guard is to raise the alarm. If fighting breaks out, some of the soldier should notify all the others as well as normal offcials. Even if there aren't enough soldiers and police there now, once somebody starts calling "police officer down", more cops and soldiers will show up from the surrounding area with complete justification for being there. Make sure the police have cameras and such to record the PCs attack if they do such so it can be given to the authorities and make the PCs criminals for the rest of the game.Next line of defence will be troops with guns and orders to shoot to kill, or at least stop anybody and shoot if they don't stop. IR and low light equipment and such. Perhaps some military dogs.Last will be the commandos who will set up last ditch effort to stop anybody who attempts to enter the Tor. Claymores (or Brit equivilant) can be set up along the road and surrounding hill. Snipers from the Tor itself as well as a good locked door.If you really want to get nasty, just have them request a US SPECTRE gunship from the US (again, a good reason to use terrorism excuse) if they don't already have their own. Nothing like a C140 cargo aircraft with 20mm vulcans, a 105 howitzer, and the best high tech surveilence gear money can buy in a plane that can just fly circles around the place and shoot at anything they want from miles away.If you want to be even nastier, just have the bad guys set off a real dirty bomb on the site ASAP and contaminate the area with radiation or disease. It will take longer than three days to decontaminate the area and in the mean time, the place will be crawling with soldiers and police. Even if the PCs sneak past the guards, they'll still ahve to deal with the effects of the dirty bomb on themselves.Lastly, if they do make it in to Avalon, see if it can be determined where they'll come out and hit them with an ambush.</blockquote>
