# Alligator Alcatraz - The Starforged Version tags: #thoughts #references/twitter ![Escape from Aligator Alcatraz](https://x.com/The_DrunkDragon/status/1940451809371492435) Well, if that's not an obvious **[[Ironsworn - Starforged|Starforged]]** setup, I've never seen one. You are a roguish thug given the mission to break into a high-security prison in the middle of a swamp to interrogate one of the detainees for corporate secrets he's not aware that he actually knows, and then escape without the local authorities knowing you were ever there. If you are caught, you will be disavowed. Off-planet support is minimal, but there is a hacker monitoring communications who may be able to provide you external aid. The area around the prison teems with deadly native flora and fauna. --- VOW: Get the corpsec data from Domingo Al'razi and exfil the area to safety. (*Formidable*) Waypoints: - Get caught by planetary authorities with forged false papers - Survive being introduced to genpop - Find Al'razi - Get the data - Escape the prison - Get off planet --- HAZARDS: - Banecroc (*Dangerous*) - Features: - Long snout full of sharp teeth - Stone-ridged skin - Brutal strength - Drives: - Eat everything - Lurk submerged - Tactics: - Lunge from concealment - Drag underwater - Roll to disorient and drown - Stranglezu (*Dangerous*) - Features: - Tendril vines - It's everywhere! - Broad, ribbed leaves - Drives: - Entangle the unwary - Consume corpses - Tactics: - Instill hopelessness - Grab and wrap - Fall from above - Illegal Alien (*Dangerous*; *Formidable* in groups) - Features: - Unintelligible language - Orange jumpsuit - Shackles - Drives: - Escape - Aggression - Organize in Gangs - Tactics: - Shiv from behind - Brave only in groups - Dogpile --- ## Digital Garden Notes Obviously, the major inspiration here are 80s action films, and this would literally be shot on location in the Everglades. I can see pretty much all of the major shot composition in my head, but given the choice, I think I would probably throw in some additional "[women in prison](https://www.imdb.com/list/ls008897259/)" movie references as part of the gender-separated second facility within the wire.
