Each NPC can potentially give up a clue on a successful attribute test against them, as detailed in the NPC section below.

With a successful and appropriate attribute test a player character can force another player character to give up a clue to them. Generally, the targeted Scum doesn't lose the Clue, but instead a copy of that clue is gained. The GM can rule on what sort of actions might or might not work, but might include such things as seducing the target, getting them drunk, beating information out of them or bribing them for information. Note that we don't worry about false clues and cunning deceptions - let's assume that Scum are too straightforward for intrigues of this level! | With a successful and appropriate attribute test a player character can force another player character to give up a clue to them.

As soon as a Scum has five different ''clues'', they are assumed to know exactly where the cash is stashed. The GM can pass them a secret note (a specific exception to the normal rule that there are no secrets in ''Scum''), and they can then head to that location. When they get there, they automatically retrieve the £10,000. | As soon as a Scum has five different ''clues'', they are assumed to know exactly where the cash is stashed.
