Ok so we played a showdow run game tonight.
We started out the basic, Meet the Johnson, get our objective.
A previous employee of the Johnson's company{altech but nobody bothered to ask} had stolen some tech from them and was trying to sell it to the Triad/Mafia. The mark was a playboy, has lots of parties in his penthouse, etc.. so we go to the hotel next door and fail to get a room on the same floor as the mark. So insted we go across the street and look at the office building, which has a whole 2 rooms being used the rest for lease for REALLY cheap. Like 4,000 nuyen/mo {we would each be paid ~250,000 for the job}.
But instead of renting it, or getting the key {they let us explore any floor we wanted} they did a random floor, and stole the keycard. So me, the decker had to 'hack' it and reset it to the floor we wanted. {all it did was send a RF with the floor # out}. So, we basically we stole a floor of a building.
We setup the base of operations there, I hop on the matrix and run over to the mark's network, steal his porn, and change the guest list to include 2 of our party members. {Killing the decker in control of the apartment building in the process because he detected me
}
Theres a knock at the door and another person introduces himself as being hired by the Johnson, and we take it at face value and let him into the grupe. {It was another one of our friends playing}
We dress up the elf chick in pretty much a whores outfit and send her off the the party. Along with our rigger for good mesure. The elf was a dumbfuck and goes straight for the mark and trys to talk to him. Which causes him to summon his body guard to drag her out because he dosent know any elves.
But our rigger was able to plant out cameras so I get a live view of all of the place. Then the new guy from above orders some pizza, knocks out the delivery guy takes the pizza and clothing and goes to the mark's place. He gets in. And the mark greets him, ... and they know eachother, it's subtile but meh. "Hey, how you been, delevering pizza now eah?" "Sure you can use the bathroom, you know where it is." I'm the only one who notices this. But, cuz i wanted to see where this went I leave it be.
So, the days pass, we watch what the mark does, he meets with the mob, has a metal suitcase that hes trying to sell to them. So we make up a plan, the new guy would be standing on the roof of the hotel, which is level with the floor the mark is on. I would be in the office we .. aquired.. with my high powered sniper rifle, and the rest of the team would barge in shoot it up and steal the case {we were getting bored} So, the elf mage chick does an illusion and changes two of our guys into the look of the mob bosses.
They head into the apartment building, setting off the metal detectors, and just keep going to the elevators. Before the guards react there in the elevators going up. They walk out... and the real mob/body guards are there. A firefight ensues. One of the mob bosses run into the apartment, right into my line of sight. I use my 12 combat dice to shoot, and explode his head.
One of our other friends is playing the mark's bodyguard. So hes there shooting rubber bullets at everyone because they all look the same. {The illusion charm}
The mark comes into my line of sight and I'm like 'fuck it' and blow his torso out. My teammates take out the bodyguards, except of the PC one, who decides hes gunna fight it out cuz he only sees 2 people. He trys to pellet them, knocking one of them off balance and stunning. The 1st one gets a cop de gra on him at point blank to the head. He survives cuz his skill is cyber. And once again, I say fuck it, And blow his head off from across the street with my rifle
After that.... the new guy just drives away on his bike with the case.
....
...
..
.
Turns out, he was hired by the mark to protect the case from us.....
God damnet
So, we dont get paied, and he ends up selling the case back to the johnson for 100,000 nuyen.
it was fun.
