| False Accusation |
 |
"What's the charge again?"
"Murder."
"How? You didn't - ?"
"Of course I didn't kill her - I just met her last night. I was set up. Someone wants me put away. Now hurry up, shoot the guards and get me out of here."
"But if you bust out of jail, every peace officer in the city will be after you. You'll be a fugitive from justice."
"And if I don't bust out, I'm dead. Got me? Now let's get going. Do you have any idea how bad prison food is?"
| | Adventure Background |
| One of the characters has been accused of murdering a woman. The character is innocent, and has his friends bust him out of prison so he can prove his innocence. | | Episodes | Episode One: The adventure begins with a bang and a jail break. This encounter can be run through densely packed city streets, hotels, shopping centers or any number of other unique Star Wars-altered locations. Eventually the characters can find safety, possibly in a shelter.
Episode Two: The characters begin the process of clearing their friend's name. If they check the murder site, they will find police officers deliberately altering evidence under the instructions of a special investigator from the city government. The characters are discovered, and once again find themselves being chased, but by now they have become local media celebrities, and a young reporter begins to tag along because "it's a great story."
Episode Three: The reporter offers to do some investigation and learns that the special investigator is answering directly to a high-placed city councilperson, who wanted the woman "out of the way" because she knew embarrassing information about him - the character who is accused of murder happened to be the easiest mark for the murder sentence.
Episode Four: The councilperson sends armed thugs after the characters to make sure that the true story doesn't get to the public. Just as things look bleak and the characters are trapped (possibly even captured and doomed), a rival councilperson comes forward and frees the characters, clearing their names and allowing them to get on with their lives. | |
