[Shadowrun] Krampus in container district - do you have some cool idea for me?
Backdrop
- district built out of containers and neglected housing blocks. Container corridors, walls and floors, leaking pipes, gang laws
Context
- in order to be shown the way to the secret lab in the heart of container district characters have to infiltrate, they need to do something for one of three local gangs. I want this to be a kind of Mexican standoff where they have to choose which faction to support
- Their arcs/previous deeds are making spirit of that city to "wake up". They will need its help and I need a way to point them to something like that existing
- Since we are going to play sometime soon, Krampus is a nice idea
Background
- unrest in the city is making people start believing there has to exist some vengeful force of justice. Hence in container district a Krampus started to operate. It randomly appears to flail to death most naughty (adults). So far, mostly without credible witnesses nor survivors. Flees the scene on foot, but can cover impossible distances
[GM discussion] Should eco-terrorists appear at an oil-rig under attack they are already being blamed (directly or indirectly) for hijacking?
I know that eventually the answer is "whatever I want" but I would like to hear what others think.
There's an MCT oil rig on Baltic Sea. Anarchists from Kronstadt noticed peculiar data transfer some time ago going there and managed to hijack the place. Then they transmitted message that they are an eco terrorist group (I did not specify which one to my players) and demand MCT to stop polluting. After that, folded the satellite dish to buy some time for the decker and rigger to look around the host.
Now, from a point of, for example, TerraFist. An oil rig nearby is in disarray, none of their contacts in other groups say they're doing it. And MCT HTR is definitely on its way.
Does it make sense for them to come to the rig and make contact/make sure it gets disabled/make trouble for HTR?
I think their appearance has potential to turn this job into a nice chaotic clusterfuck and opportunity to show my players some variety of the world (they would definitely come on a yacht going super
