Out of curiosity, why is flintus at detection level 4?  He rolled 6's on both his detection rolls...

[Little]

Because he's wearing sunglasses inside. 

Seriously though, it's probably because I forgot to update his detection level.

Damn it, I'm doing bad today.

[Pacho]

I have to say, this is one of the most interesting RTDs I've seen so far.  Quick too! =D

[Flintus10]

Hey no worries about that.

I will take the push and tell the whore to get the hell out of my room. After she is gone I will look around and see if there is anything else useful lying around (since I doubt they clean it very thoroughly) If not then I will leave and get some information about the slums. (where things are ect.)

I hide the two knives on my person, slipping one into a boot and the other across my lower back. I then go to a photo booth, take my picture, then go to a crafts store. I buy all the things I need to make a fake lisence (glue, scissors, craft knife etc...) then I head to a quiet place with no people, make a fake ID with my photo on the unmatching ID, head to a costume store and buy some make up to make me look older (about 20-30 years older) and a suitable wig, head into a restroom and put them on and then head to an abandoned building site. I also offload my push supplies onto a druggie for money.

You bend down and slip one knife into your boot while you pretend to tie your laces, and you stand up and subtly slip one knife into the back of your pants, it being hidden by the t-shirt. You then figure you can get a good quality fake ID by using the Mugger's as a basis for your own, so you walk along the sleazy strip separating average from poor and slip into a mall. Security guards are roving throughout the crowd, holding up pictures of you, Melvin, and Fenneth, so you quickly make your way towards a photo booth(Luck Roll=1 OH SHIT). Unfortunately, you're intercepted by one of the guards half-way, an intimidating man who looks tough and could probably kill you with his bare hands. He takes out his picture of you, looks at it, and then looks back up at you, closely scrutinizing you and looking past your disguise(Detection Roll=2). The guard drops his hand to the butt of his pistol, and begins to cry out(Reflex Roll=3) but you give him a hard shove and push him off balance. You start running as he falls down, the guard letting out a cry of, "IT'S ZAK! KILL HIM!" The other guards look up, the crowd scattering as they start to draw their pistols(Luck Roll=2) and they manage to keep focus on you as they sprint after you. You start running for the doors(Quick Thinking Roll=2) and you keep going straight, the doors getting closer...

Combat!
Guard B shoots at You from a distance!
Accuracy Roll= 6-1
((I swear to God I'm not even making these rolls up. I actually feel bad for you.))
Dodge Roll=1
((...))
Damage Roll=2
((Zak, I really think the dice hate you. I'm sorry.))
The bullet strikes you squarely in the back, and you tumble down to the floor with a howl of agony. You start to weakly get up, and you start to stagger along, tears running down your face and blood running down your back.

Guard A shouts, "There's the bastard who pushed me!" and takes aim!
Accuracy Roll=1
The shot screams past you and into a civillain!
Damage Roll=6!
But it only grazes her! She runs off, screaming about you shooting at her. Stupid bitch.

Guard B fires again!
Accuracy Roll=4
Dodge Roll=1-1((What...the...hell?))
Damage Roll=3-1

A second round screams into Zak, hitting him in the shoulder with a crack!(Pain Roll=4) You manage to stagger on, blood pouring from the shot in your back and your shoulder going numb. You slow down to a snail's crawl as you let out a scream of pain.

Guards C and D are rapidly approaching, but Guard A is close, roughly ten feet away...
Guard A fires at you!
Accuracy Roll=5+1
((.....))
Dodge Roll=5-2
Damage Roll=4
The shot only hits you in the arm, causing you to scream again but at least your not dead.

Bleed Roll!
(Bleed Roll=1)
More blood pours of Zak's wounds as he reaches the door of the mall. You manage to shove open the push door, but you collapse onto the street. Guard B smugly steps up behind you, and aims...
(Accuracy Roll=4+2)
(Dodge Roll=5-3)
(Damage Roll=5-3)
The shot hits you in the back, going into a lung. Guard B fires three more rounds in your back as the colour begins to leech out of the world, the gray quickly staining what sidewalk you see must be your own blood...

You are dead. You lasted for 4 Turns. You were killed by a Competent Security Guard. Your run on The Running Man was not memorable.

Alright, empty my briefcase and hide the stuff in different locations in the apartment (under the floorboards, in the walls, wherever).  Then, keeping my disguise on, and putting the glock in my pocket, I'll take a walk about the place, familiarizing myself with the area, and looking for a good place to set up some traps (preferably a dirty, isolated ally that not even bums will hang out in, and no-one would regularly walk down), as well as some quick escape routs.

You empty out your suitcase and looks for a good place to hide your stuff in the apartment(Luck Roll=4). You find a excellent hiding under the floorboards beneath the desk, and you stash all your extra stuff in your new stashing spot. You keep the Glock out, and after a moment's hesitation, tuck it in your pocket. You walk out of the apartment(Detection Roll=4+2) and you are undetected as you leave the building. You walk around the neighbourhood, observing the houses that are made out of sheet metal and are almost falling down. (Observation Roll=5) After walking around for a bit, you find three spots of interest.

Jack's Bar is a local bar inhabited by factory workers looking for a good place to cool down and hang out with their buddies. Underworld contacts and criminals also inhabit the place, causing Jack to institute a 'No Weapon' policy, but the criminals mostly behave themselves. It'd be a good place to lay low, since Jack HATES the cops for a reason he never told nobody, and because you can meet some interesting people there.

Saint George's Hospital is a charity hospital run out of a local church. If you need medical aid and your on the run, Pastor Frank will patch you up, if you got the dough. After all, med school wasn't cheap and after the Pastor lost his job for refusing to treat a cop he saw shoot an innocent man, Pastor Frank has been preaching to those down on their luck and healing those who truly need it.

Tom's House is another local joint, this one being a nightclub run by the infamous Tom Barthol. This place is where the local druggies and whores party at night, and it'd be a great place to find some Push, or to find some new criminal contacts.

After investigating these thee spots, you head out to find a local alley that is unused. (Luck Roll=3) you don't find any that meet your needs though, although you do end up mapping out a couple escape routes through the winding labyrinth of backstreets and dead ends. You end up outside your apartment building.

You quietly creep forward and grab the bag of Push, carefully tucking it into your backpack. To your suprise, Alan suddenly appears beside you, and whispers into your ear, "We have to kill her." (Crazy Roll=6) You shake your head and shout at Allan, "NO! THAT WON'T HELP! LEAVE ME ALONE RIGHT NOW!" The whore on the bed wakes up, and says groggily, "What are you doing in my apartment?"

You scream, "IT'S MINE! GET OUT!" She needs no further convincing, and eh takes her clothes and dashes out the door. You stalk to the door and slam it shut, breathing hard. You have a killer headache, and Allan is still standing there, staring at you.(Crazy Roll=6) He's starting to freak you at again, so you lunge at him. Allan disappears, but you fly into the desk, bruising your head as you slam into the wall. You sigh and pick yourself up, and look around the room.(Luck Roll=4) Nothing useful from what you can immediately see, but you go into the small grimy washroom and find a small bag of Push and a rusty knife that is smeared with dried blood. You avoid the knife and take the Push, adding it to your little stash. You leave your apartment(Detection Roll=3+1) undetected, and you stroll around the neightbourhood, trying to familarize yourself with the place(Observation Roll=3) but you don't find anything intresting, so you return to your apartment.

FreeVee screens around the city light up as a special update on The Running Man interrupts regular programming! Bobby's happy, smiling, trustworthy face appears.

"Hello, citizens! Today, one of the first fugatives was killed. Killed in a shopping mall while disguised as a matter of fact, and when he was detected by the guards in the mall, he lead them on a daring chase! He was cold-blooded in his attempt to escape, and as he was running at the door, he fired a shot from his gun at an innocent civilian, someone just like yourselves who had done nothing to him!"

The crowd roars in anger, and Bobby has to hide a smile as he raises his fist.

"But don't worry, the fine lady survived with only a scratch. We'll have her own the show tomorrow to recount this harrowing tale from her perspective, and we'll also have the footage of the thug Zak being brought down by a brave security guard, who will receive a check for a thousand NewBucks when he appears on the show tomorrow!"

As the show fades out, the cheers are still audible. Then, around the city, the Freevees return to today's episode of Run For Your Guns.

It's amazing what a string of bad luck will do.  It's too bad, really.

Now I know to be cautious.  I'll head into the bar, looking for someone who can get me meds, preferably for cheap.

[Zako]

Now just hold on a second! You didn't add my disguise bonus to my detection roll! I should have got a 3! I should live!

[Little]

He takes out his picture of you, looks at it, and then looks back up at you, closely scrutinizing you and looking past your disguise(Detection Roll=2).

He's looking out for you, has a picture of you, and is a trained professional. You're lucky I didn't subtract from the 2 

[Zako]

I CALL BS ON THAT!

There is no entry in the rules that says that a GM can take away a bonus to a roll because he feels like it. It has to come from the effect of a bad roll thats aimed at removing the bonus or removes the bonus as a side effect. I still wore the disguise, I should fairly still have the disguise bonus. If the guard took off the clothing, then I would agree with your roll.

[serephe]

It should have included your bonus, then included a penalty for the bonuses of the opponent, really, but it would be the same result.

[Flintus10]

Your dead just enter another contestant (if that's allowed) And also nice use of "Alan" Little.

I guess I will go out into the streets and offer some of the push to a junky for some fricken information on street gangs, mobsters ect. (please this time oh dice!!!)
