That the skeleton is apparently afraid of the dog is yet more evidence for morale applying to the undead. But $1-2 million in gold seems a bit excessive for treasure.
One thing to keep in mind in the kids' adventure genre, if you ever run it using
Hideouts & Hoodlums, is that combat is almost never an option. Had the man in green goggles been the villain in an adult protagonist's story, he would have been punched out before now! Half-pint Heroes should always have to save vs. plot before resorting to violence.
More evidence that you should always check your cell for secret doors.
An interesting scenario where, instead of combat, the hero and villain engage in a lying contest against each other. This could be resolved by a simple encounter reaction roll for each contestant, perhaps modified by how good a whopper the player can come up with.
The book is only $1.
This seems clever to me, hiding out in the rhino cage because the rhino is too valuable to shoot at. I'm not sure I would take my chances on the encounter reaction roll from the rhino, though!
Intriguingly, the Editor seems to be rolling for surprise individually here, since Joe is surprised, but Dickie isn't.
The bullets seem to have been responsible for wrecking things on that cage, something that I would not normally encourage (this development is more likely Editor's fiat).
If the Aviator class is going to get resurrected for 2nd edition (and it seems to me it should be), it is going to need special stunts not accessible to other classes. Break Formation could be one of those stunts.
