Hostage Situation

[jammi]

I've had to hold hostages quite a lot recently; holding trade ships hostage to keep the law at bay while I'm pirating. Far too often the trader ends up trying to shoot his way out when backup arrives though. So far all the traders that have tried this have died, so I haven't been holding back on my part of the deal. The idea is that if they pay you, you cut and run though. Try to get away before the law realise you've released the hostage, otherwise you're really screwed.

Don't try to extort the lawfuls though, just get the cash from the trader. If you ask for money from the police, they get ancy and just wade in and hope you don't have time to murder the trader, which all too often you do.
