Merc'ing 101: How to Make it as a Mercenary and Still Stay in One Piece, Wed 7/16

"Extortion and racketeering," sporting a pair of sunglass, Murdock wandered around the Danger Shop, arms wrapped around himself, "two of the most common tactics bad guys like to pull on innocent folks. Either they've had their families threatened or they've already tried to fight on their own and gotten worse for their troubles. Now most of the time, these kind of scumballs like to target folks who can't fight back at all." He stopped abruptly, tilted the glasses down a little and glanced at his students, "And I really don't like unfair fights." Hopefully, nobody would notice the bloodshot eyes or the small baggies under them.

Shoving the glasses back up, he started pacing the room again, "But there's always some bigger sleaze runnin' the whole show. He's the one you gotta bust, not the muscle. Cut off the head, the rest ain't gonna be able to move. So. You have to work out a plan. A plan to get the bad dudes without gettin' any of the innocents caught in the crossfire." He stopped moving once more. "It can be a lot harder than it sounds."

"Here's what we're gonna do today; you've been hired as a team," he put special emphasis on the team point, "to run these slime out. There are innocent people scattered about, but they should be out of the way. You have a limited amount of firepower, so you're gonna have to improvise with what's available. And hope your plan works."

(Just like last week, main portion of the class is in the OCD. Please feel free to bounce off each other's threads. Also, as I'm sure you already know, my availability is rather limited. Therefore, I've made the class as open as possible, so please mod away! wait for the OCD up!)

"Um. Knives?"

That wasn't a plan, per se. Just... an idea.

"Make his jerks look like a bunch of morons who couldn't hold on to the neighbourhood," said Bender. "He'll have to escalate or risk someone else taking his money."

Someone who had more experience on the other end of extortion.
