Choice Text and Results
Jump them
You jump the couriers. They stand in shock for a moment, then one blurts out "we weren't planning on doing anything, I swear!"
Once they figure out you're not here to question them, they respond to violence with violence.
(Fight 2 Dockside Gangers)
Follow them
With ≤5 Perception:
You try to follow them, but they're moving fast and you eventually lose the trail. Drat.
You've earned 3 XP in Perception
With ≥6 Perception:
It sure seems like these guys would know how to slip in and out of the Fangs' hideout. You trail them, finding a good-sized gap in the gang's defenses.
You only have a little time, but you might just be able to slip further in without anyone noticing.
Unlocks the Security Hole for your next encounter
Scare them
You try out your best authority figure voice. "Hey, you there!"
The response is about what you'd hope for, with the gangers running in two opposite directions, concerned more with saving their own hide than guarding the base.
You've earned 2 XP in Will
Leave them
You just walk away. No harm, no foul, right?
