GenCon Mission
Briefing
Revolutionaries in [insert hotspot controlled by [Players’ Megacon here] have kidnnaped a mid-level exec. The exec has enough clout (read: actionable intel on his coworkers) to merit
an armed response/rescue. Also, the kidnappers need to be dealt with, lest they or their comrades get the wrong idea about [Player’s Megacon] dedication to their employees. But in
order to minimize any reputation hit, it needs to be done surgically without civilian casualties.

Phase 2: Prepare for Raid

General info:
4-6 kidnappers per floor, toughest (2 superior to PCs, 2 equal) are on the top floor, least
experienced on ground floor (6 lesser threats) and second floor (2 equal to PCs, 4 lesser).
Phase 3: Execute Raid
This will be a combat. The kidnappers are located in a multi-floor building, the exec on
the top floor (if they are unaware of the players; if they were clued in on the first phase,
then the exec will either be elsewhere, dead, or, perhaps, secured in the basement (but
the players will believe he’s on the top floor).
Where are they, what are they doing:
Assuming the raid begins on the ground floor, the second floor team (6 foes, equal to
PCs) will arrive on first if that encounter goes longer than 3 rounds. If the raid begins
on the top floor, first and second floor will proceed upstairs on a similar timeline (6
kidnappers arrrive after 3 rounds, 6 more after 6 rounds).
