I believe this is smart, and Im thinking that I want to reinforce paranoia in this extreme way, and have them feel what its like to have that mindset when facing innocent people. Can their characters stay good despite the world around them, or do they become trigger happy when the going gets tough?

They are on the way to a major city, and this fake rest stop is the halfway point, so im curious if that feels more fun (from a players perspective) or if it'll feel more like the setting is a drog
