The Bluecoats grab someone in the periphery of your crew. One player volunteers a friend or vice purveyor as the person most likely to be taken. Make a fortune roll to find out if they resist questioning (1-3: +2 heat, 4/5: level 2 harm), or pay the Bluecoats off with 1 coin.

The Bluecoats send a detail to arrest you (a gang at least equal in scale to your wanted level). Pay them off with coin equal to your wanted level +3, hand someone over for arrest (this clears your heat), or try to evade capture.
\nA truncheon bangs on the shutters of the window. “Alright then! Come on out and let’s go quietly now!” It sounds like Sergeant Klellan. When you peek out, you see a detail of about twenty Bluecoats, all geared up for a fight. Klellan mumbles under his breath, so only you inside can hear: “Or perhaps I have the wrong address?” He clears his throat and waits for some coin to appear.

You can resist each of those consequences separately.
\nSome players really hate it when their character gets captured! Just tell them that this is completely normal for a scoundrel of the underworld. You spend time in and out of jail, getting questioned and harassed by the law. It’s not the end of the world. But now that you’re here in the interrogation room, what kind of person are you? Do you talk? Do you stand up to them? Do you make a deal?

\nAfter the PCs succeed at their assault and wipe out the Red Sashes, their savage gang takes things too far. They start attacking any Iruvians they see in Crow’s Foot, and during one brawl, they horribly maim a citizen. Everyone’s talking about it. Is this how the Bloodletters run their crew? Arcy decides to handle matters by making an example of one of the gang. She takes them back to the tavern where the incident happened, and smashes the offending thug’s face into the bar, giving her a horrific scar.
\nThe GM thinks this treatment warrants a tick on a progress clock they created in an earlier session when Arcy treated the gang roughly. The clock is called “The Gang Fights Back.” It was already at three out of four segments, so now it’s full! Looks like Arcy’s rough treatment of the savage gang is gonna come back to bite her.
