E159 Rich Man & Thugs (takes 1 hour)
You see a party comprised of an obviously rich individual, guarded by 1d6+6 thugs (each E8, M4, H6 armed with a sidearm, see
R210 for tech level). You can ignore him, or you can attack him. If you attack, see R302. You must defeat them in five combat
rounds, since after that the rich man will escape. If you disable or kill the rich man, you find he has a base value wealth of 1d6
times 100 (R229A). If you attacked the rich man, you automatically become "wanted" here.
