Chapter 12: Instant K.O.
Approach each group in turn, Keep my sword in one hand and have my guards keep their weapons in hand as well while I talk to the groups.
"Good day to you all gentlemen I'll only need a few moments of your time. This ground belongs to me and my associates and we are unhappy to find you here. However I would like to make you an offer. Join us and work for me as these 4 rather intimidating gentlemen beside me have done. It would be much safer for you I'm sure you will agree to be part of a larger group then on your own and if you should prove to be valuable assets you will soon be making a lot of money and commanding others for me. Would this interest any of you?"
The men in the van stop unloading their televisions to hear this speech, and some of the men in the alleyways come out also. One asks, "Who are you?" Another asks, "What type of work are you talking about?" A third simply declares,
"YOU'RE JUST A SPY FROM THE ALIENS TO STEAL OUR BRAIN DATA!""Well, I don't want to wait......"
Pay it, we need to plan.
Gang Funds -75$Mason now has access to the blueprints of several public buildings in the city vicinity.
"Hey, kid! Where is this?" Call out to the child.
"This is Rotterlan. I live near the barn. You like one of the people from the city who bring in the chocolates. Do you have the chocolate?"
Start out with a blow to the gut and a pair of uppercuts to the chin. Play defensively for a bit.
The first round of the tournament begins!
(Intuition: 4 vs. 1) Aaron is able to start out on the offensive. (6+1 Vs. 3) He delivers a powerful strike to Shaun Notter's stomach, bending him over. He follows it up with one uppercut, and immediately another. Shaun's head goes upward and he stumbles back. He spins around on his foreleg and falls on his face. The referee counts. "1....2....3.....4.....5....It's over!" He lifts up Aaron's arm. "The victor!" The crowd cheers.
Aaron can now advance to the second round. This time he is against Paul Bradshaw, a smaller, though more experienced boxer than the last.
Pocket the cash, leave the drugs, then continue scouting.
Alex stuff's the cash back into his pocket and heads out on the streets for more scouting expenditures. As he walks along the streets, a scantily clad woman walks up to him. "Hey babe, want to have some fun?" She smiles.
Get cash, then go to the computer store to by a computer to handle this. If there's not enough money to get the right software, then get one of the fellow syndicate members to steal one for me.
A good computer is going to cost over a thousand pounds, so he'll need to talk to his mates.
((Also, please refer to a specific amount when grabbing cash. "Get cash" can mean anything from a single pound to the entire fund.))
"Protection. We have a number of talented men, but we lack the manpower or connections to properly defend ourselves if anyone came knocking. What would you like in return?"
The Triad member looks thoughtfully at the moon. "There is nothing I can't think of that we are in critical need of. Plus, in your description, it does not sound like your gang could offer anything significant at this point. I'm sorry, but negotiations can not be brought about now. Come back in the future."
"We're going to want to sell this for the cash."
Discuss with the group the best ways to sell.
Dave says, "So, how do you guys want to sell this stuff?" Dave knows that to produce more, the gang will need a system of getting more, as well as a means of production and selling. There could be some mutual benefits to combining a cocaine system with the meth lab.
