Encounter Details

What you need to know to prepare the PCs for this encounter.

This Encounter can be used in a wide variety of situations. It is a simple 3 rounds Turn Time Encounter to get into someplace they are not supposed to be. This is meant to get all of the players thinking about each of their individual Skills and what they are comfortable with doing with their characters.

This Encounter can easily be modified to fit a large number of situations. Feel free to just change some of the details and the Skill Checks can remain the same.

The basic idea is that the PCs need to get into an area they are not welcome. They will need to navigate past some guards and/or security systems as well get past some kind of physical barrier like a locked door or gate.

The first part of setting this up is getting the group to need to go to an area they are not allowed to. Then, talk them through a careful approach to do a little surveillance. Next, make their way past the barriers and into the forbidden area unnoticed.

Really describe the situation and role play this out. Turn Time Encounters are so much more fun when players are really getting into the situation and not just rolling a bunch of checks.

Encounter Tactics

Tactics the NPCs might use during this encounter.: Tactics for this Encounter is that the PCs need to be cautious and careful. Reckless behavior here is bound to get them noticed. Don't outright fail a PC if they are not being careful. Instead add negative modifiers to their Skill Checks. A little bit of carelessness might garner a Character Tier penalty to their check. A lot should be two times their Character Tier penalty. This will quickly get the failed rolls they deserve for being reckless.
