Street folk
A few ordinary people are always out on the streets: wandering from block
to block, minding their business. Every hour or so one of them wanders off
for good, and someone new turns up: a different species, face, outfit and
temper. They come in four kinds. consider them before you try anything.
wimps skittish, never fight back, run. Some cash.
regulars just trying to get home. Give in to a good threat.
tough big and mean. Hard to scare, and they hit back.
armed look ordinary. Aren't. Knife or pistol.
Things you can do
mug <person> demand their money (Intimidation). A gun is the best
threat, a blade helps, bare hands barely count.
Win: they hand over a share and run. Lose: wimps
and regulars run, tough ones and armed ones fight.
pickpocket <person> quieter. If you're caught, same reaction.
attack <person> they're people; people get hurt.
mug <person> on someone who's down just takes their cash.
Everyone can only be robbed once; after that, they're cleaned out. Not
in shops or other watched places. Other players are never marks.
