01 JOE’S DINER BRAWL

EXCERPT

The player characters’ peaceful meal at Joe’s Diner was shattered by the arrival of the Piranha gang, leading to a brutal brawl and the discovery of a curious employee ID card on the lieutenant’s person. Avoiding the arriving law enforcement, the team slipped away with evidence suggesting the Piranhas were involved in something far deeper than simple street extortion.

SESSION SUMMARY

  • A Ruined Appetite: The player characters began their session with a casual, peaceful gathering at Joe’s Diner. However, their meal was abruptly cut short by the hostile arrival of a group of Piranha gang members who aggressively demanded money from everyone present.

  • Street Justice: The extortion attempt quickly escalated into a violent confrontation, but the crew held their own and emerged victorious. The clash proved lethal for the gangers, leaving both the Piranha lieutenant and one of his subordinates dead on the diner floor.

  • The Kidnapping Clue: After the smoke cleared, the party searched the bodies and recovered a street drug identified as “Piranha Smash” on the lieutenant. More importantly, they uncovered an employee identification card belonging to someone the Piranha gang had kidnapped, flashing a massive red flag that this wasn’t a standard gang shakedown.

  • Slipping the Cops: As the distinct wails of sirens and approaching law enforcement filled the night air, the crew kept their heads cool. To avoid messy complications and interrogations, they quietly slipped out through a back exit unnoticed, carrying the crucial evidence straight into the shadows.
