Summary
The gang gets asked to raid a waterside warehouse. A waterside warehouse gets raided. Chocolates are handed out. Everyone goes home happy, except the dozen dead thugs and the kidnapped wagemage.
Background
The gang all receive an odd job offer from their fixers, involving fish, guns and chocolates.
The Meet
The group meets up at the agreed-upon meeting place and encounter a strange, shifty guy. A strange shifty guy who is decidedly not Vlad, the man they agreed to meet there. He hands off a package, which has a letter tied to it. The gang considers the bomb disposal squad, but decide to read the letter first. Turns out, the package is Vlad's, and the letter contains the details of the run; raid a particular warehouse before 1 AM tomorrow night. There's also chocolates, and underneath the layer of chocolates, a trio of photos of the target site.
The Plan
The group starts by scoping out the warehouse in question. Nita, the only Awakened member of the group, Shapeshifts into a street cat and takes a stroll near the warehouse. Her Assensing soon picks up the presence of at least two Watchers, indicating the presence of a mage. Not wanting to get spotted in her shapeshifted form, Nita heads back to the group. This time it's Roadie and Poppet who do their part. Roadie makes use of a drone to get a look at the insides of the building, while Poppet chats up the doorman and learns bits and bobs of the operations in the warehouse. The two also discover the power box for the warehouse security systems, and a mana barrier surrounding the warehouse on 3 out of 4 sides - except the part facing the water.
Nita summons a lower-force Fire spirit and orders it to keep watch if the warehouse while the three return to Roadie's apartment to plan. Eventually a plan of assault is made - the group will drive Roadie's armored vehicle up to the warehouse, then Poppet and Roadie will perform a pincer maneuver, breaching from each side of the building. Nita will summon a powerful air spirit and take out the security box, entering the building from over the water. With their plan made, the trio attack.
The Run
The original breach-and-clear is almost spotless. The three aren't spotted by the Watchers, and Roadie and Poppet break into the building from both sides. Roadie also opens the garage door, allowing Nita line-of-sight into the building for her spellcasting. Grenades, bullets and magic make quick work of the thugs inside. Security appears to be so light the decision is made for the spirit to instead join in the attack, and its stormy demeanor only adds to the damage. 1 AM arrives; the deadline given by Vlad.
