Yea well my posse ticked me off when the Syker of the group say a Syker he
had an oath with in the pit fighting and bone-ripped her opponent. When the
whole S-Mart called for his blood he chalanged the Overlord to a pit fight
and won. Prety much got luckly but the whole think of finding out the
bad-guy's a servitor then find out how to kill him was out the window.

My posse also locked horns with the Lone Biker. After their first fight
(which the barely excepted from) they decided to back track the Biker. I
didn't like the whole "he can only be killed by the bones of some one he
killed" thing, so I changed it. One of the witnesses noticed a Vas Vegas
bumpersticker on the Biker's bike. From there they crossed the desert into
Vegas and rolled straight up to the Lexor. After poking around (both
characters had at least one mutation and weren't Doomsayers) a bit they
learned the Biker was one of Silis' loyal followers. I mad up a background
for him saying he was a steroid-freak and that he still had a place at the
Lexor. They grabbed his stash and tracked him down to kill him.

I hope this helps, sorry about the length.
