Yep, I saw that coming a mile off. That's why I modified Jack.

One of the PCs (a male) dressed up as a woman to lure Jack in. The
other characters placed themselves in the vicinity. Then I built up
the suspense. When Jack finally walked up (they'd already made one
wrong identification so the PCs held there fire) I caught the
disguised PC completely off guard when the monowhip came out (they
thought Jack was just using a really sharp knife). When the gunfire
started Jack ran down an alley while the PC, with a light wound, his
dress in tatters, and no karma pool left, just sat on the sidewalk
muttering, "omygodomygodomygodomygod.."

One Stage Before is good, but you really gotta roleplay those NPCs.

A Killing Glare was a blast, literally. At the end when the PCs are
in the urban brawl game and Kyle Morgan's "friend" shows up is
great. Lead, spells, and dragon breath. What more could you want?
When the dragon showed up to save Kyle all but one of the PCs
booked. The mage stayed behind and tossed some spells at the
dragon. I was all set to kill the PC but to my dismay he had 3/4
cover. So the dragon lite the building on fire that the PC was
hiding in, grabbed Kyle, and took off.

One of these days Kyle and his friend are going to look for some
payback <EGMG>.
