I would say that killing everyone that comes after them is the WORST thing
that they could do and not an option at all. Yaks and Mobs and the like
tend to hold grudges and will just get pissed and send more and better
lackies after the runners, the yaks have the money and influence to turn
their contacts against them and take away all their normal hidey holes.
The best thing for them to do is probably set up a meet with the yak and
attempt to make ammends in the form of favors and such. Granted this is a
dangerous ploy, but with good role playing (which is what you want) it
could work. Another possibility is to somehow prove to the yaks that the
fixer was working against them...this may require "imaginative" evidence
however. :)
