[UA] Just ran Jailbreak [SPOILERS]

[Tom McGrenery]

So, I was meant to be playing in Escape From Inssmouth today, but our 
Keeper didn't show up.
Luckily I had ONE SHOTS in my bag, as I was planning to show it to the guys.

Sooo, I dished out the character sheets and we played JAILBREAK.


Things I did -

- dropped the female hostage. I just made it so they'd taken her van and 
left her, rather than brought her along.

- totally forgot about the mechanical dog.


Things they did -

- letting out Bors was pretty much the first thing Uder did. That surprised 
me, but it added a nice "Alien" type air whenever anyone went upstairs. Or 
out of the room. Juan (a GMC) bought it almost instantly, as he'd followed 
Uder upstairs.

- when Ella found out she was a clockwork, she assumed Uder knew and 
decided to kill him, as well as all those other nasty men in the house.

- Morton tried to slit the throat of the violin-playing girl. He then 
freaked out when he saw the razor-sharpener and trashed the upstairs bathroom.

- Updike let Spundie go and teamed up with him against the others. However, 
Icepick charmed them into letting him free.

- Icepick tried to have his way with Ella. She slapped him hard enough to 
put his jaw out of line.

- they didn't keep track of ammo. Steve ran out just as he was trying to 
shoot Ella for the third time.


How it ended -

Jake Spundie died on the steps to the cellar. Having pushed him into a 
sitting position, Ella pinned him to the step through his left thigh with a 
pickaxe, then twisted his neck till it snapped.
Uder bled to death - he'd been stabbed once by Morton, then hit with a 
pickaxe (again by Morton, but later).
Bors escaped before Ella lured the PCs in to the cellar. He now roams the 
US, killing people.
Ella watched Uder die, then allowed herself to be disassembled by the Rack.
Steve, Morton and Icepick escaped in the van, only to be picked up by the 
cops on the highway.

In summary, JAILBREAK is brilliant. The scene where Morton found the violin 
girl was incredibly tense, the recurring shouting matches were great, and 
the three-way standoff in the kitchen between Morton (knife), Uder 
(hatchet) and Icepick (stun gun) will be long remembered.
