−
# '''Vicious Vice''' One of your contacts, gangs or cohorts causes trouble due to their flaw(s). You can lose face (forfeit rep equal to your Tier +1), make an example of one of the gang members which risks their loyalty, or face reprisals from the wronged party losing 1 status with them..
 
−
# '''Rivals''' A neutral faction throws their weight around. '''Tier''' roll to find what is at risk ('''1-3''': contact, '''4/5''': vice purveyor, '''6''': cohort). Forfeit (1 rep or 1 coin) per Tier of the rival, give up the resource, or stand up to them and lose 1 status with them.

−
# '''Interrogation''' The Bluecoats round up one of the PCs to question them about the crew's crimes. How did they manage to capture you?

−
# '''Flipped''' One of the PC's rivals arranges for one of your contacts, patrons, clients, or a group of your customers to switch allegiances due to the heat on you. Succeed at a random opportunity or they're loyal to another faction now.
 
−
# '''Reprisals''' An enemy faction makes a move against you (or a friend, contact, or vice purveyor). Pay them (1 rep and 1 coin per Tier of the enemy), allow them to mess with you or yours, or fight back and show them who's boss.
 
−

The Bluecoats send a detail to arrest you (a gang at least equal in scale to your wanted level). Pay them off with coin equal to your Wanted level +3, hand someone over for arrest (this clears your heat), or try to evade capture.
 
−
# '''Show of Force''' A faction with whom you have a negative status makes a play against your holdings. Give them 1 claim or go to war (drop to -3 status). If you have no claims, lose 1 hold instead.
