This weekend our current game was put on hold as the GM was out. Instead we played a one shot game using the Savage Worlds system. We were playing characters (that were supposed to be) similar to those from the TV show Burn Notice. Our characters had just returned from Afghanistan, but upon arriving home we found that our home had been burnt to the ground. Our investigations led to our finding out that the Chief of the local Fire Department was actually a member of the cult of Cthugha. Our characters went to his house and broke in. My character went in the back door, Doug's character went in through the front door and Todd's character went in through the second story window. The Fire Chief/Cthulhu Cultist was on the first floor and our character's quickly filled him full of lead. Meanwhile, Todd (on the second floor) searched the upper bedrooms to make sure there were no other foes to surprise us. He heard a noise coming from the closet... his first response, "I shoot through the door."
"Really?" asked the GM.
"No... I open the door." Inside Todd found the Fire Chief's young daughter. He went to help the young girl and she pulled out a squirt gun-- Todd's character was soon drenched in gasoline and the little girl was approaching with a lit lighter. Todd ran.
Our character's heard him come barreling down the stairs. We saw a small girl at the top of the steps and I asked, "Do our characters have any reason to suspect she would be a threat?"
The GM said, "No."
Immediately Todd's character screamed out:
"Shoot her! She's got gas!"
