Trade with the drug dealer at the office building.

The boss said this dealer had something special. I can't mess this one up.

Molotov cocktail

I'll take this just in case things get out of hand.

Do I have any trouble getting to the office building?

(50/50 | 6[d10]) Yes, but...

Small army

A small army of rival gang members have set up a road block. I think I saw them in time to avoid them.

The start peppering the car with bullets. I try to duck to keep from getting hit.

(50/50 | 7[d10]) Yes

I throw my molotov cocktail at them.

(50/50 | 1[d10]) No, and...

It starts a fire on the front of my car.

(50/50 | 4[d10]) No

They still haven't hit me with a bullet yet. Can I run them over.

(50/50 | 9[d10]) Yes

(18 = 16[d20]+2) Severe Injury: Incapacitating and may become Critical if untreated.

I plow on through severely injuring at least two of them.

Dang 76 streeters. This must be a special delivery.

Can my car go on?

(50/50 | 2[d10]) No

I ditch the car and continue on foot. Do I have any more trouble?

(50/50 | 3[d10]) No

I arrive at the office building. When I knock on the door.

The old man got a call from the boss.

Come in, soon time it will be.

Extravagant gang member

A man decked out to the nines comes from a back room with a briefcase. "You got my money?"

Did I remember to get the money from the car?

(50/50 | 8[d10]) Yes

Here you go 400,000 just like you asked.

"Is the special gift in there?"

"Everything's here, I wouldn't double cross the boss."

Can I tell if he's lying?

(50/50 | 8[d10]) Yes

"Open it."

"Excuse me?"

"I said open it..."

Does he open it?

(50/50 | 6[d10]) Yes, but... +Twist: Physical event / Hinders the hero

The old man clubs you from behind.

The old man tries to hit you again. "Die you must."

Can I break free?

(50/50 | 2[d10]) No

Can I force the chair over and break it?
