Does anyone have some ideas on what kind of score could provide a “Lookouts” claim?

1. I always think of lookouts as child thieves, citizenry in the know, or old folks who spend all day on their perch. However, it could totally also be a squad of Bluecoats on the take, roving ghosts who speak in riddles, or actual surveillance gear that you have set up making it easy for your crew to spy down streets, listen through holes drilled in the walls, or otherwise be savvy to your surroundings.

2. Maybe subverting an orphanage (a la Miss Hannigan. I bet there are a lot of orphans after the War), a workhouse (I imagine that Duskvol has the same child labour issues that Victorina Britain did), or knocking over a rival Faganesque gang leader?

3. Any sort of score to help the downtrodden of a district could potentially get you a network of grateful urchins, beggars and citizens. Oust a cruel gang from a neighborhood, get revenge for the killing of a beloved person, or remove a supernatural threat from a neighborhood.

4. Thanks! I was thinking similar things, but I couldn’t justify the flat +1d bonus to Hunt and Survey on your territory… maybe because it’s not a flat bonus at all?

   PS: Sean Nittner thanks for your amazing work on the Vigilantes crew, these “Lookouts” are actually for them 🙂

5. For the most part it is gathering together some of the citizenry of your turf, perhaps it is a wannabe gang of kids and this is a tryout for bigger things in your crew, perhaps it is the promise of regular meals for those beggars on main street or even a select group of house wives, bakers, barmaids etc.

6. I usually go along the lines of kids as well, sometimes working w/ the Cyphers (which i usually interpret as Western Union Telegram type people from turn of the century mixed w/ the Newsies, though less prone to song and dance)
