What does your Character do in a Hostage Situation?

>Shoot, our cleric has the resurrection spell.

>>48589834
Generally what ends up happening is there is a bunch of dead officers and a riddled hostage.

>>48589834
In what capacity? Am I taking hostages? Am I a hostage? Trying to get the hostages released?

>>48589952
In all Scenarios.

>>48589834
Arnthorr Erikson will ask the party ranger, Jacques, to take the shot he'd trust no one else to make.

>>48589834
Masturbate. It turns them on and creeps everyone else out enough to diffuse the situation

>>48589834
Sneak around or mindbreak people. Possibly both.

>>48590093
Even if it's the character themselves taken hostage?

>>48589834
I don't let a hostage stop me. If they take a hostage, then that means they know they can't manage without one. If there are multiple hostages, then I'll pause, but if it's one I'll gladly push their shit in.

I run away.

Have more bodybags than there is hostages and hostage takers combined. Doubled if bystanders are muslims.

I am playing former Serbian SF member If you are asking.

Try to alpha-strike the baddie into oblivion anyway - the good done by removing them from the living world far outweighs the potential evil of the hostage dying.

Of course, that's assuming the hostage is a regular peasant/civilian. My character is a snob - they'd go to greater lengths to save somebody notable.

Try and negotiate.

If that fails try to take the hostage takers out quietly. Alive if possible.

If it all goes tits up and the hostage is kill then we hunt down the hostage takers. To act as a deterrent to anyone doing this shit again they will spend weeks dying and we make sure that people know this.

If near the Doom Fort (we let the elf name it) we chuck them in the oubliette and forget about them. It is said that Hell is other people. After a few years in there in utter isolation it becomes apparent that this is not true.

Free weekend was hell.

>>48591253
Are you kidding me? Wrecking endless hordes of Recruits was great. They brainlessly step into Kapkan traps and have no idea how to fight Montagine A team mate of mine just stood there tanking up bullets until the recruit just gave up and got punched in the face And it was funny reading the chat where CoD kids complained about the respawn time and that they were glad they didn't buy the game. Only regrettable thing was that loading times were pretty long

>>48589834
Shoot through the hostage for maximum edge.

>>48589834
Too many variables to account for in such a general question to give you a proper answer.

If we're talking about the situation in your picture however, I'd get starting on the mint sauce.

>>48591390

I will admit, I did have some fun. I was playing Glaz on presidential plane. I shot someone through the window and put him into Down But Not Out. Then two more recruit lemmings came over to revive him and they both got put down.

My buddy ended up getting three easy kills as they were all just bleeding out in a big clump.

>>48589952
All of them. Simultaneously.

Let me greentext my greatest achievement.

>Our motley crew was Serbian SF, British Ultra Getaway driver, German Tech guy and Italian Womanizer
>We were to steal 10 million euros worth of expensive jewels
>Jewels were just outside of Sarajevo in old castle/mansion
>Big ass party is going to be thrown same time as we have to steal the jewels
>We needed a diversion to cause maximum chaos
>We hatched a plan to get local bank robbers to rob a bank same time to get police there.
>Plan was go

>Me and Britbong were to play "fixers" for the local crew
>We got them all the necessary gear and equipment
>They were ready
>Italian got himself in to the party through seduction.
>German was ready to cause whole city to lose electricity for our chance to get the jewels from the castle/mansion
>Surprisingly my gun toting Serb didn't get no other task in robbery itself as it was get in, get out type mission
>It didn't stop me

>Using my contacts I arranged myself necessary equipment and materials for proper diversion
>Others were somewhat worried after I asked Britbong to steal me a concrete mixer
<Don't worry comrades, I got this!

>Day was upon us and we were ready.
>Local bank robbers struck the bank and of course hit the alarms and managed to get stuck there thanks to fast response from the police.
>Italian, German and Britbong were ready to steal the jewels
>They waited for my signal.
>As the police gathered in force to siege the bank robbers out Serb was ready.
>Steering the concrete mixer towards the bank and forcing it to drive forward at max speed all was set
>Just small jump out of the racing truck and Serb was walking calmly away
>Concrete mixer crashed into police cars at 40mph and barreled straight through the bank wall stopping as the mixer got stuck on the roof
>Police were dumbstruck but that didn't last long
>Serb hit the remote switch and the concrete truck exploded

>Explosion was heard 50 miles away
>Our heist team quickly realized that now it is the time
>They cut the power, went in and stole the jewels. Job well done

>Serb just calmly walk away from the nearby area, jumped into our getaway van and drove to meet rest of us
>Surprisingly they weren't happy, but we got the jewels we were after
>Successful heist was celebrated by BBQ and beer


>Over half of the Sarajevos police force were casualties and chaos was huge.
>According to GM approx 300 died from the blast and over 1000 got wounded

Is the hostage someone I need information from about the missing artifacts? Then I'll do anything the hostage taker needs me to do, they can get away completely free if they want.

Is the hostage taker someone that has stolen/has info on where I can find the Artifacts? No mortal is worth displeasing the Goddess, I'll do what I need to get my quarry, bystanders be damned.

>Taker
He's not actually there, that's just a Homunculus that looks like him.
>Taken
see "taker."
>Negotiator
Peaceful approach, but if things get messy, he's giving each hostage monster powers so they can take down their captors.

Second Character, space homebrew mechanic
>Taker
Explosives, a shotgun that loads soda can-sized cartridges, and a jet-powered getaway bike.
>Taken.
more explosives than taker, otherwise same.
>Negotiator
disregard everything, use explosives. Unless hostage is the owner of the ship he's currently aboard. then realization of free ship hits him, and he and the rest of the crew bail on the dude.

Go into a Fugue state and repeat the Oath to House and Clan Tremere in Yucatec Mayan over and over.

>Trying to get the hostages released?
Use a combination of Mastery of the Mortal Shell and Shotgun to seize control of the hapless victim or victims. If situation gets too stressful, see answer to number two.

Now see, this is what we call a 'Target Rich Environment'

Flip power drain to max, deploy all additional synth limbs, set weapons to full automatic, and then dance to a tune that only he can hear.

Battery life of about seven minutes, costing $210,000. 17,920 rounds of ammunition, $90,000. Collateral damage to surrounding structures and objects, $500,000+. The wisdom to not let the living weapons platform with an itchy trigger finger, the moral sense of an angry hornet, and no ability to make smart decisions under pressure? Priceless.

Potentially next time command will remember why they explicitly forbade the team to even set foot in major population centres.

Fascinate-type ability based on speech and mind control on fascinated targets works wonders.

>>48589834
>As a hostage
Eject-From and self-destruct his armor. Yes, it was just chainmail, why wouldn't he set up such a systemon there?

>Hostage-Taker
Hostages use up one's hands or available weapons. Taking them is stupid. It's all nonlethal if they can resurrect them anyways. The uh, focus on efficiency is rather what keeps his alignment from ever reaching "good", despite how he acts outside of hostile situations.

As much as we all love the ebin 42 terrorists, 129 hostages; 171 bodybags memes, it felt so damn good to rescue the whole thorian colony without killing a single host on insanity, hell, on first try even.

Flap about in a panic.

I have no idea why I haven't made a coward character before, it's so much fun.

>Time Stop

>>48589834
Stay calmly and wait to be rescued. Look for any opportunity that may be seized to assist a rescue attempt, but survival and safety come first and such things should only be tried if you're reasonably sure they won't be detected. Do not attempt to escape unless it is very likely to succeed or the circumstances change drastically (such as if you come to believe this hostage situation will end with an execution).

>>48589834
Kill himself.
It's *exactly* what the hostage taker wouldn't expect.

>>48589834
Demand a ransom.

>>48597223
Thank goodness for melee and stun (or was it gas?) grenades. Non-lethal options!

Whatever you do NEVER SURRENDER YOUR WEAPON. A dead hostage is better than a dead hostage+a dead policeman+free criminal.

>>48589834
Pray. That's what my character always does.

When negotiating a hostage situation you should kill the hostages, that way the criminals have no more leverage to bargain with.

Kill them all. I don't need hostages to protect me, and any weaklings the enemy took deserve this fate.

>>48589834
Disregard hostages, kill hostage takers.

>>48589834
Shoot the hostage.
