When reading this in archive I couldn't understand who shot Jason..... so, who did it?

>>17658431
Flubbed roll, warning shot, accidentally hit James, etc.

This is a learning experience for me, too. I'll be more detailed this time around.

If we can't rob banks then its time to rob something else.

Shopping malls.

>>17658419
>There are other ways to make a quick buck around the city without robbing banks, aren't there?
>

How much dosh do we have left?

>>17658463
I didn't say you couldn't rob banks, just that they'll recognize you if they get a good look at you.

The operative word being "if."

>>17658465
Well, you haven't really gotten a chance to do any real shopping with all the heat, but it's been a few months and it should be ok to try and buy some equipment.

You guys have $90,000. Don't spend it all in one place!

Seriously, don't. It'll give you away.

>>17658490
You still have your weapons and ammo, by the by.

>>17658490
Are there any upgrades we can buy to help us in the next heist?

Also, can we move to other location to make a heist? Iirc, the other banks were even harder than this one and we failed miserably there.

Alright. If we do hit up a bank we need to do it right this time. Come up with a plan, code words and the like so we don't accidentally SHOOT ONE OF OUR TEAMMATES.

What were the other two banks in the area again and which one was the harder?

>>17658531
>code words and the like so we don't accidentally SHOOT ONE OF OUR TEAMMATES.

AND PUT ON THE FUCKING MASKS BEFORE GETTING YOUR FACE RECORDED!

Speaking of which, you need new masks.

rolled 5, 4 = 9

>>17658463
Actually a good idea, we find a mall that's going to do a large armored car transfer, could make tens of thousands of dollars. This time, less over the top, handguns and one AK for armored vests that get cute.

We need better disguises. I say, those giant cell phone mascot costumes.

>>17658523
Sure.

Mel's got some contacts in the city that can hook you up with weapons and gear.

Ricardo has some family who work at a local garage. They could pimp out your van.

James says he can get some new hardware and software from online dealers.

$90,000 are burning a hole in your pocket. Get to spending.

(I'm not going to look at the actual prices for these things. It'll be in increments of $100 dollars. So $500, $800, $1100, etc.)

>>17658531
The other two banks in the are are Norm and Sons and Wellington Financial.

Wellington's is definitely the big leagues.

>>17658563
We need to upgrade the hardware, get the top-of-the-line shite.

Also, we need to modify our van. Paint it different color, new plate, etc. Pimp it up so that it moves faster and easier to manipulate.

>>17658531
Great idea. You guys can come up with codenames.

>>17658556
Not a bad idea. Remember, you all get a +1 to all tasks taken during an actual heist.

>>17658604
You ask Ricardo if his family has ever done work on cars that wasn't entirely legal and he laughs at you. He says they'll turn your white pedo-van into a damn tank if you'd like.
Cost: $4,000. (Is this what you want?)

>>17658639
Tank are slow, we need to make it fast. Yes, do it.
Also, best hardware for Jason, but buy it from different places with cash

rolled 2, 2 = 4

>>17658607
We will theme the heist, switching names for each one.
Sprint
T&T
Verizon
And T-Mobile

>>17658604
James tells you that there's a good communications system on sale for $1,600 and a top-of-the-line monster desktop on sale for $2,000.

Since he's stuck at home anyway, he figures he should be the guy who keeps track of what's going on.

>>17658655
Current funds: $86,000.
It takes a few days, but your creepy white van comes back looking black and sleek and sexy. Reinforced frame, tweaked engine, new paintjob, new tires, the works.

Because I fucking love this quest, let me donate a theme for the krew. The Tragically Hip, Thugs.

That seems a little mean, the cripple 'T-MOBILE'

Go with his new computer stuff, get a nice chair too, something with heated seats.
Get a police scanner as well, keeps an eye on the police.

James' computer comes in a plain cardboard box. He opens it like a kid on Christmas, and you all admire his new baby. Sleek and black and sexy, just like your new van. The communications system comes in pieces, but James says he likes it that way.

In a few days he gets his new system set-up. He's got a line on the police scanner, several programming suites, and enough RAM left over for Battlefield 3 AND Assassin's Creed.

>That seems a little mean, the cripple 'T-MOBILE'

Oh, come on. That wrote itself.

>>17658785
>RAM left over for Battlefield 3 AND Assassin's Creed.

What? He is playing two games on the same computer AT THE SAME TIME?!
Holy shit, he really is a haxxor

Guys, remember your'e still in an apartment. You might want to look at *ahem* "alternative storage locations."

It won't take people long to figure out that nice black van they saw at the scene of the crime is parking at a trashy apartment complex.

Also, you're going to come into money eventually. Keeping it all in your mattresses won't work forever.

>>17658826
Those are hard to come by these days.

>>17658805
Suggestion: semi-tractor trailers.
There are, scattered around the industrial districts of major cities, trailer lots. And in each one are hundreds of tractor trailers just sitting around.
And there they'll sit, one completely unremarkable from another, 'til a driver comes by and picks one up for a delivery.
A trailer will set you back about $20K new, and down to a quarter that used.
To be truly authentic they need a customs seal and those are harder to come by, but it's a safe bet a there are trailers buried back in the lanes that haven't left their rut for years and are as similar to each other as one air molecule to another in a busy windpipe.
Buy one used (Hello Craigslist!), change the numbers if you want to, fill it with whatever, and use a rented semi to park it deep in the lot with a good lock on it.
Unless God hates you, shit will _never_ happen to it.

>>17658854

Contact the mob and see if we can invest it in...things. (But stay away from the Russians)

Does that mean we move into it to live?

>>17658949
Not unless you want to.

It'd just be convenient to have a place to store all your crap.

>>17658854
We need to hire a sleazy lawyer to launder the money into James'/Mel's names. So they can legally buy some luxurious houses to keep us all in.

>>17658961
Even our sleek van?

>>17658978
Yeah, why not? Trailers are big.

>>17658964

This is a good idea.

>>17658892

This too.

>>17658964
James knows where to find good lawyers, and he can set up an off-shore bank account pretty easily from his computer.

>>17658995

That is a pretty good idea, actually. After a heist we back the van into it.

>>17659024
We could leave it there and only use it for the jobs (getting new pain-job every time), in meanwhile, we'll get some shitty used car to do everyday tasks.
This is so that no one associates the van with us.

>>17658995
>>17658978
For that you're going to want one a little wider then the normal 8' width box, but that's doable. Get one with exterior personnel doors so when you back the van in (biasing towards the passenger side) you can get in without climbing over the front.
In case you have to...leave....quickly.

You know, we could also rob an armored car...

>>17658964
>>17659040
Current Funds: $67,400

Ricardo suggests you use old storage containers for hiding the van and the loot, and you all think that's a pretty good idea.

You pay $15,000 dollars to some old trucker who directs you to a shipping yard in the outskirts of town. You all congratulate Ricardo on a good idea; your storage container blends in perfectly with all the others.

It's a tight fit for the van, but you manage it.

James tells you he's opened an off-shore account, piggy-backing off of a heavily encrypted server. If the cops find it, they'll never be able to trace it back to you guys.

He also tells you that he's found a lawyer who'd be willing to make things difficult for the city's DA, for the right price of course. Lawyers are sneaky. He might just be putting you on, taking your cash and then turning you over.

Thoughts?

>>17659113
I say we don't take up the lawyer offer before we are sure he is to be trusted. Can we get more info on him? Or ask around?

>>17659129
Let's just kidnap him and scare him shitless. Then offer to work with him on the ground that he plays nice.

>>17659145
That's a horrible idea and you should feel horrible.

How about we try to find out through our contacts, barring that through investigating.

>>17659060
..I'm not really part of this Quest, I swear. Anything I contribute is advice, not direction.
That said...
Now _that_ is a risky-ass target. And at least requires someone who's a deft hand with a wielding rig, nevermind some crackjack fucking timing to disable the truck, crack it, loot it, and get away without getting shot by a guard.
The easiest way would involve having an in with an actual Armored Car service, and arranging for the piggy bank to surrender quietly ahead of time with maybe some blanks exchanged for show.
I mean not to piss on your idea Anon, just that there's a whole lot that could go wrong with a hardened, mobile, and most of all prepared target.

>>17659129
>>17659167
That'd be a roll.

+1 because there's no time limit and James has a sweet computer.

>>17659167
>>17659129

Ask other lawyers, or better yet get a properly trustworthy friend-of-a-friend to shop his name around a cop bar or two and find out just how much the po-po hate him.
If the answer is Lots, that's a good sign.

There's surprisingly little information about James' lawyer on the Internet. Most of it has to do with his office location and slogan, but there aren't any court documents or case files detailing any work he may have done.

The Internet has failed you, but that doesn't mean the information isn't there. You might need to hit the mean streets.

rolled 5, 5 = 10

>>17659250
Well, actually, that might not be that bad. This definately means that he is trying to keep low profile and has sleazy dealings.... on the other hand, that means he has had sleazy dealing and we JUST ROBBED FROM THE MOB.

Okay, trying again

>>17659232
>9

Mel asks around at a few cop bars and most of them unanimously agree that James' lawyer is the sleasiest, least trustworthy, money grubbing piece of shit in the city. He's taken bribes before, but he's covered his tracks pretty well.

>>17659277
Sorry, I was going on your roll, it's 10 not 9.

>>17659278
Okay, forget that lawyer then. He is going to sell us out the first chance he gets.

In a word: ding!

>>17659294
Hell no. We don't want that ass.

We don't need sleazy fucks.

>>17659291
Lawyers that take bribes from criminals and sell them out tend to disappear pretty quickly.

If you still don't trust him, there are other ways to ensure a person's loyalty...

>>17659310
Or we could skip the lawyer deal altogether.

You guys choose. If you can't decide, it'll come down to a roll.

>>17659291
Consider this: to who?
The Cops don't pay bounties out to disloyal lawyers. And if he fucks his clients for a fast buck he's only screwing himself.
This kind of scum _depends_ on us to keep his shit in the black. He lives and dies by his Crim rep, he's exactly who we're after.

>>17659320
>>17659317

DAMN. We don't need a lawyer. Especially such a untrustworthy one. We just need to do the heist better and leave no evidence! (heh, wishful thinking).

Seriously. Lets not trust this fuck.

>>17659310
Mel went to COP bars. How about we get info from other, less legal parties we know of?

>>17659320
agreed. Guys like this--they know their customer base..they stay loyal, they'll see more money in a few years than clean lawyers will in their lifetime.

>>17659344
Lawyer is there to cover our tracks--when we drop 10 grand in a weekend, it's less likely to be noticed with him backing us up from his side of the courts.

>>17659372
>>17659372
Well, it seems I am in minority here. I will not stall further by arguing against. Lets go by majority decision (which is to hire the guy). Hope we will not regret it.

I'm voting against Mr.Sleaze,

Can we move onto picking up some fancy guns or are we still fine on that front?

Ok, general consensus is that we're going with the lawyer.
--------------------------------------------------------
The lawyer's name is Henry Long and he smells like chewing tobacco and Aqua Velva.

He assures you that he's done operations like this before and that your secrets are safe with him. He asks for a down payment of $8,000, for trust reasons.

James takes you aside while he schmoozes with Ricardo and Mel. He can keep tabs on Mr. Long with the virus on the USB, just to make sure no funny business is going on.

What say you?

>>17659423
You still have your weapons from the last thread and enough ammunition for a single heist.

That doesn't mean you can't get more. Honestly, when do bank robbers have enough guns?

Never, that's fucking when.

>>17659429
Trust James. He is a computer wizard.
We will try to get Long distracted like, dunno, by luring him out of the room while James does his thing.

I swear if you make us roll again.

>>17659429

James hides the virus inside the cash transfer file and uploads it onto the USB.

Mr. Long takes the USB and leaves, but your apartment still smells like cheap cologne.

James lets you know that there's a cash delivery going down at a local branch of Norm and Sons'. It's not as small as the first bank you robbed, but it's out of the way and you won't have to go inside if you get there on time.

You have 5 days. The more time you take planning, the more buffs you'll get to rolls.

There's going to be a -1 modifier for this heist, cancelling out your original +1 modifier because the cops are still on alert for you.

Plan this one out guys.

Make Tzeentch proud.

>>17659541
Step one, ensure that everyone know show to use their guns SAFELY. as in trigger discipline, and preferably not using them at all.

Step two, do research on this job, make sure we know what we're dealing with, layout, escape route, guards equipment, everything.

>>17659541
Day 1:
We go with Ricardo and scope out the surrounding streets while James attempts to find blueprints just in case.
Mel goes and secures new disguises.

>>17659579

>There's going to be a -1 modifier for this heist, cancelling out your original +1 modifier because the cops are still on alert for you.

That makes it +/- 0 m8

You could get up to +3 depending on how well you plan this out.

So are you in or what?

>>17659597
>6 + 2 because Mel's good with firearms: 8

Mel trains you all in the basics of gun safety, namely not shooting at random noises. You all feel like you've got a grip.

>>17659601

Don't even sweat escape route for now. Just know the streets.
Later plot out the locations of any local police stations with Mapquest (or whatever) and work out which main roads they'll probably be responding by. Then plan out back routes to nearby expressways or industrial bypasses.

>>17659541

We will need...

The time that the armored car leaves the depot, the time it is set to arrive at the bank, and the route it will take to get there.

We will also need pair of bolt cutters, oxygen / acetylene torches, some shaped charges for the hinges of the armored car and a bunch of tiewraps/hoods for the Armored car guards.

>>17659638
(I forgot to do the second one, sorry)
>6 + 2 because James is a computer beast: 8.

James digs up blueprints for the bank and a map of the general area around it. He also grabs a schedule from one of Norm and Sons' employees' unsecured e-mails. The truck will be there at 8:00 in the morning, before the bank opens.

(+1 to heist, 3 days left)

>>17659671
...Or you could wait for them to open the door.

>>17659686

I like to be prepared.

You guys have three more days and you're already at a +2 modifier. The max I'm allowing is +3.

One more good idea/roll and you're set.

rolled 6, 4 = 10

>>17659724
run practice drills on the maneuvers--practice getting in the tight spaces of the truck, grabbing the loot, and getting out.

Sounds simple, but will not be.

>>17659671
You already have 10 pounds of homemade explosives from the last thread.

Mel thinks he can get the other stuff in about 2 days. It won't confer a modifier bonus, though.

Want to do it?

>>17659733
You all practice the routine you're going to use for an entire day.

You use your black van as an analogue for the truck, moving bags of sand in and out, timing your runs. You've got it down to one minute and fifteen seconds.

(+1 modifier, 2 days left)

Maximum modifiers achieved.

You have 2 days to get equipment and rest.

>>17659740

If nobody else has a problem with it, sure. Might have to cut something open at a later date.

>>17659771
No one else has a problem with it?

>>17659686
>>17659707
And we get spotted, they're unlikely to cooperate what with sitting in their METAL BAWKES!
Also, nix the shaped charges. Plastic Explosives are GIGANTIC exposure risk. Like, the FBI get interested.
_Especially_ post-9/11.

>>17659672
0800. Excellent.
Idea: we arrive early, and take the bank while it's opening up. Take a hostage, make clear it's Jonestown if anyone hits an alarm (let No One linger in the teller's area), secure everybody with zip-ties, take _everything_ from them so nobody's got a cell or a camera, blind the interior cameras with spraypaint, take everything not nailed down, _then_ the armored car.
Best time to hit the guards is when they're delivering and the truck is actually open.
It's complicated and risky, which are both bad things, so I hope we're interested in discussing it's merits and flaws.

>>17659800

This man knows what he is talking about.

>>17659800
Negative modifiers can be applied to the heist if the cops show up or if alarms go off.

The name of this game is speed and skill.

Remember, you don't have to take the bank itself. Your target is the truck.

Keep this phrase in mind, friends:

"Wham, bam, thank you ma'am."

>>17659800

Hey. how about we get tazers and when we leave we will taze everybody so that buys us some time..... Actually, lets get some handcuffs to cuff everybody so that they will not sound the alarm.

Ah, and everyone will be bereft of their cells (DO NOT STEAL THEM! EVEN THE SHINY NEW IPHONES. NO WEAR GLOVES!)

>>17659862
Right, I agree.
Greed is dangerous, speed is life.
Hmm.

>>17659862
>>17659866

So we... gotta go fast?

>>17659897
Like a motherfucker.

Clock's ticking, guys. 1 day left.

>>17659897
I'd say so.
If we take more than 5 minutes, then we're taking WAY too long.
Also, damn you for making me post this.

I think we are prepared. After this heist, perhaps another companion should be considered.

>>17659897
My brainz. Ow.

Thoughts? Go for it all, or smash and grab?
I kinda like trying to take the whole bank because if that works, we've got 6 months of chillin' with mimosas while Dirty Larry launders the grotesquely large take, and the timing's pretty much the same as trying to take the armored car by itself.
OTOH, more random factors: bank employees, silent alarms, general chaos and stupidity, etc etc. Greatly increased chances of things going to shit. Also we'd need to plan out specific rolls: 1 person to control the herd, 1 person to be on lookout/alarm monitoring duty, etc etc.
Oh, idea: can James get into the alarm service of the bank (using it's physical address as a starting point) and divert any potential alarms? What about it's local phone service?
If so, THAT is a _titanic_ advantage, and Take It All gets a lot better looking.

>>17659952
True. Experience matters, the more we get the easier the pickings...hopefully.
Although uncertainty is the coin the criminal, and if we adopt a fuck up that's a severe problem.

Wait, we got the bank plans and shit, right?

What happens if the bank is cut from electricity? Will the silent alarms work? Will the vault open?

>>17659956
That's a roll. It will take up your last day, but James gets a +2 modifier because he's good at computers.

I think we should show up early, like at 7:30. We wait where the truck pulls up (out of sight) and jump out with one of us as a fake hostage so they wont shoot us on sight. Then we use hidden explosives or guns to take out the guards (maybe someone in a vantage point with a rifle). Then we get the money from the truck and go.

>>17659974
Yes, you have the bank plans and the road maps for the general area.

Cutting the power to the bank will deactivate the silent alarm, but the vault has a failsafe that will automatically lock it should such an event occur.

>>17659997
Hmm. Could we time it so that it cuts power AFTER we opened the vault?

>>17660016
You guys have to choose.

You have 1 more day to get supplies and finalize plans. You won't get any more modifiers, you've maxed those out already.

1 day.

I don't like cutting the power.
The minute that happens the local power company knows.
The minute after that they check the address, and see it's a bank.
Then it's Call the Cops. Then we're 5mins, at best, away from an engagement that's gonna escalate like a forest fire.

rolled 6, 1 = 7

>>17659978
Should we roll for this?

Imma gonna roll

>>17660034
Gentlemen!
Let's nail this down.
Ask James to hack the alarms? Y/N?
Also, we should have a Random Cop plan. Shit happens, after all.

>>17660047
Righteous.
If Humanatee is with it, we just got a solid boost.

So, are we stealing from the vault or just the armored car?

>>17660047
>7 + 2 = 9

James plants a backdoor program on one of the bank employee's machine, and from there he finds his way into the other systems.

Unfortunately, the alarm is pretty high end. If he attempts to shut it down remotely, it will activate. He can delay it for exactly one minute, after that he's got to get out and cover his tracks.

Once the plan is finalized, that's your last day.

>>17660086
I'm for the Vault as well.
C'mon Anons, don't let this loudmouthed name-fag do all the choosing.

>>17660086
From what I've seen, it looks like two of you are hitting the truck and one of you is hitting the vault.

>>17660102

+1 for the Vault.

Also one for the vault. We have a +3 modifier. We gotta take them risks to get dat cash.

>>17660108
Wouldn't that be too dangerous? Chase two rabbits- catch none, etc?

Better to go for one target, no?

rolled 3, 1 = 4

>>17660102
we practiced for the truck, the vault is secondary objective--only if we know we can do it.

How about calling the cops for some fake emergencies to get the local patrol cars away from the bank.

You guys have a plan.

This feels different. It's not like the Cruz job, no. You feel ready.

The morning comes early. You arrive at the shipping yard at 4:00 in the morning, spend an hour prepping the van and going over the plan one last time, and drive into town.

The Plan:
7:50: You, Mel, and Ricardo will be waiting on the opposite side of the bank. The bank will not be open and traffic will be relatively light.

8:00: The truck arrives, the bank manager, who will be the only employee present, will open the door for the security company. Ricardo will play getaway driver.

8:05: At this point, the guards will be incapacitated and the truck's goods will be secured. Provided the alarms haven't been activated, James will activate his delay program. You and Mel will have exactly one minute to enter the vault and grab as much loot as you can.

8:10: Money's in the truck, you're on your way.

Sound good?

>>17660153
Non-taceable calls. Or fake origins. Bet Jason can handle that.

>>17660183

Fuck the vault, Daedalus; just hit the truck, get the fuck out.

>>17660183
> Provided the alarms haven't been activated, James will activate his delay program. You and Mel will have exactly one minute to enter the vault and grab as much loot as you can.

Shouldn't making sure that manager cannot activate the alarm remove the danger of it going off?

>>17660186
James calls you and offers to pull some phreaky-shit on the cops. You tell him to phreak it out.

The cops will now be delayed by five minutes once the alarms go off, bringing the total to 10 minutes.

>>17660183

Remember, the manager will be with the truck security guys. The vault will be open.

>>17660209
OLRIGHT

We're feeling good

OH YEAH

>b4 shitty rolls fuck everything up

>>17660204
Ideally, yeah. But if he sees the signal go live, we've got a backup.

---------------------------------------------------------
7:30.
Ricardo is driving the van, it's supercharged engine purring like a tiger waiting for a meal.

Mel checks his equipment. Magazines loaded, vests equipped, AR's are cleaned and oiled and smooth.

You tell the guys not to shoot anyone if they can help it; none of the weapons you have are suppressed.

7:45.
Ricardo parallel parks the van about a block down the street from the bank. It's still dark, the windows of the office buildings around you are wet with condensation. You and Mel hurry into position behind the dumpster at the back of the bank where the truck will park. You put your masks on.

7:55.
The truck is here ahead of schedule. It parks near the front of the bank, not the back. You and Mel hear the front door open and a cordial female voice say "good morning."

You have to move from the back of the bank to the front, secure the guards and the bank manager, and get going.

What do you do? (Roll)

>>17660322
Get in gear. Gun on the Manager first, have Ricardo stick up the guards.
If that goes smooth, hustle them into the bank, secure them, have, and we'll strip them of radios, weapons, phones etc.
Be quick, but thorough. Ricardo drives the truck around ot the back.

rolled 1, 2 = 3

whoops, forgot.

rolled 3, 5 = 8

curse silently and relocate to the side, then glance round the corner to re-asses the situation

>>17660372
ahhh shit. best laid plans of mice and men.

rolled 1, 6 = 7

>>17660372
Good job

>I told you bad rolls will fuck up EVERYTHING!

rolled 1, 4 = 5

>>17660372

I warned you about those dice bro.

I told you dog

>>17660372
>3+3=6

You and Mel move up beside the bank wall, laden with duffel bags and guns. One of the guards sees you.

Mel immediately aims his AR at the first guard, you follow suit with the second. The bank manager manages to get inside before you can move around and grab her.

8:00.

What now?

>>17660455

Forget the vault, get the van. We're fucked.

>>17660455
Fuck.
"Inside, NOW!"
If they heisitate, shoot one in the leg.
ASAP: give James the head's up: we're about to be on the clock.
Also: Ricardo needs ot move in, and get that armored car around to the back.

rolled 6, 4 = 10

>>17660455

Rush inside, if we see the bank manager kneecap her and check the silent alarm.

>>17660481
[Roll]

>>17660481

We're staying for the vault, everything is under control.

rolled 2, 4 = 6

Fuck I can't think of anything, I guess we should shoot the guards in the thighs (legal issues). Then we should cut our losses and just take the shit in the money truck.

>>17660486
>10 + 3 = 13; alright dog, shit's about to get heavy.

Mel moves to the door, training his AR on the guards, who've dropped their weapons. He kicks in the door, and the heart-stopping CRACK of a gunshot breaks the morning quiet.

The bank manager screams in pain, her hand destroyed. She was just about to get behind the desk and hit the silent alarm.

You curse, one of the guards goes for dives to the ground and goes for his gun.

What next?

In case you haven't noticed, I try to take the first roll if I can help it. Plan your actions accordingly.

rolled 6, 6 = 12

>>17660533
POINT THE GUN AT HIM

"DON'T EVEN TRY IT!"

>>17660533
No alarms have been raised apart from the gunshot and the scream.

>>17660550
Did James make fake calls to the police? To get them running around? Someone is bound to call the police now that they heard gunshots.

rolled 2, 3 = 5

>>17660533
Sucks to be her. Idiot should've remembered it's all insured.

>>17660510
Agreed, mostly.
We need to move that damn truck out from the front so we can get about robbing in some concealment.

Hustle in the guards, stick up the tellers. Get Ricardo in gear.

rolled 1, 6 + 3 = 10

>>17660533

Tell the guard to put his hands up and not be a hero, make it clear that he will not be given a second warning.

Get to the vault with mel after we secure the hostages.

rolled 6, 3 = 9

>>17660533
Stomp his hand or shoot his thigh (forget how close we are). Put their guns in the bags, take the manager and the guards to the vault. Open vault, receive money, get out, tie up all three get the fuck out.

rolled 4, 4 = 8

>>In case you haven't noticed, I try to take the first roll if I can help it. Plan your actions accordingly.

Right, fuck. We gotta stay controlled.

This quest is pretty SNAFU right now.

>>17660546
>12 + 3 = 15

You brandish the AR at the guard.

DON'T EVEN FUCKING TRY IT MOTHERFUCKER

He stays on the ground and you kick the gun away. You do the same with the other guard and then use the zip-ties you brought to tie their hands together.

Mel's grabbed the vault key from the manager, but he needs a code.

You call James for help, and he says he'll try (Roll with a +4 for James).

You go into the back of the armored truck and start emptying bags of money into your duffel.

8:05.

What next? (Roll for an action and for James).

rolled 5, 4 = 9

>>17660590

rolled 2, 2 = 4

>>17660590
Fuck vaults get money.

>>17660594
That's James' roll, still need an action.

James calls you on your earpiece and says the vault is prepped and waiting for keycode authorization. You yell at Mel to hurry the fuck up, and he opens the vault.

8:09.

Next? Unload that truck.
We've probably got first aid training, a very small amount anyway, from the military so we should tie off the manager's stump and see if we can persuade her to give up the code.
But one thing at a time.

rolled 5, 5 + 3 = 13

>>17660616

Go with Mel and secure the dosh in the vault.

>>17660627
Oh that's pretty. 13. 13 is damn sexy.

rolled 2, 4 = 6

>>17660616
Have others LOAD the dosh.

Make sure to tie the hands behind, cuff them TO something, take away radios and cellphone, and cover their mouths. Then help with the loading of DOSH.

If we have time left. Grab the shit from the armored car too.

rolled 5, 4 = 9

>>17660616
We should get the money and leave. If those three are secured then we will be fine leaving with as much money we can get from the vault.

>>17660644
good idea.
And STAY ALERT!
Now would be a really bad time for a customer to pull up.

>>17660627
>13

You finish up in the truck and go to help Mel out in the vault.

You hear the bank manager yelp in pain from outside the vault.

James calls you on the earpiece and says the silent alarm has been triggered. It's signal will be delayed for one minute.

What do you do?

rolled 4, 1 + 3 = 8

Fuck my White Knight nature.
If we've got 1 min, FA on the manager.

rolled 5, 6 + 3 = 14

>>17660660

Grab as much cash as we can in 30 seconds, and spend the other 30 seconds fucking off.

>>17660669
You've lost me with your hip, young lingo.

rolled 1, 2 + 3 = 6

>>17660660
3 mins in the vault, it's overtime.
I'm not gonna roll just yet, see what others think.

rolled 6, 2 = 8

>>17660660
HOW? WHO?
Who set it off. Why didn't we make sure the hostages don't do anything?!

rolled 4, 2 = 6

>>17660671
We have 11 minutes before the police arrives. Lets spend at least 5 minutes with DOSH grabban

>>17660669

I got this.

>>17660674
The manager. Tie her stump off, there's probably a First Aid kit in the armored truck.
It's probably too late now, but if it's not that might've kept her, what with us being right there, from activating that alarm.

Let's just nab all the money from the armoured car and fuck off. We've fired shots already, so we should get the hell out.

rolled 4, 3 = 7

>>17660704
Screw her. The police and ambulance will be here in 15 minutes

>>17660679
err sorry. Disregard roll, I forgot to erase my NOKO code.

>>17660671
>14
You yell at Mel to get going. There's still cash left in the vault, but you're out of time. Mel curses and heaves his duffel bag onto his shoulder. You make for the door, looking back to yell at Mel.

BANG

Mel steps out from behind the counter, and you ask him what the fuck did he just do.

You sprint out of the bank and down the street, Mel behind you. Ricardo is waiting in the van, and you all make off to the shipping yard.

8:15.

>>17660671

Note, that is as much cash from the vault, then we go and empty the armored car and leave.

>>17660715
Oh shit, he shot her!

OH FUCK, THIS JUST GOT EVEN MORE FUBAR.

>>17660725
You've already emptied the armored car.

>>17660715

Did Mel just pop his murder cherry?

rolled 3, 6 + 3 = 12

>>17660715
Clean getaway?
Clean getaway.

rolled 4, 1 = 5

>>17660715
FFFFFFFFffff
We had plenty of time than 30 seconds, dammit! Why run of so fast? God dammit!

>>17660741
I'm all for fucking off. We don't want to be escaping only a few minutes before the cops are expected to arrive, we want a great head start so there's no chance of a chase. Every second we stay here the more chance that something will go wrong.

>>17660751
Motherfucker's getting one in the skull when we get to the trailer if he did.
Because we just made the fucking news for that murder.

You stick your AR into Mel's face and ask him one more time what the fuck he just did.

Mel smiles and says he didn't kill her. He just shot her other hand.

You punch him and tell him that there're two casings at the scene because of his dumb ass and if he ever did anything like that again you'd shoot him.

>>17660781

Yeah, its okay. Bitch shouldn't have pressed the alarm.

Lets SCRAM!

rolled 4, 5 + 3 = 12

>>17660781
Rolling for "sincerity".
Hopefully we wore gloves when we loaded those mags...

>>17660802
>12

Mel kicks you in the balls and tells you he loaded the mags himself with gloves on. He also goes on to explain that the rounds were reloads.

He also says that if you ever point a gun in his face again he would shoot YOU.

>>17660802
I'm pretty certain you can't even possibly touch the ammunition directly while loading it with that kind of gun.

rolled 84 = 84

tell mel to go grab the shell casings, that way, the cops can't get as much info about our weapons and ammo locations

>>17660821
Groan, laugh -good enough.
Next, COUNTING! Let's get FUCKING RICH!

>>17660821
>He also says that if you ever point a gun in his face again he would shoot YOU.

Yeah, and I wouldn't blame him after what we did to James. Better safe than sorry.
Anyway, lets get the fuck out.

>>17660802
Also, PLEASE don't roll when unprompted.

Flush with victory and with a slight stomachache because that fucker Mel nailed you in the stones, you sit back in the van and make it back to the shipping yard without any interruption.

You pull the van inside the container and close the door.

Things are looking up.
---------------------------------------------------------

Heist Grade: B+

"A" for effort, but you flubbed the delivery just a little. The bank manager loses her right hand and the left one is fucked up for the rest of her life.

All in all , you guys made it off with a pretty good haul:

$150,000.

Total Funds: $209,400

>>17660854

Hell, that was pretty damn smooth.
If that Manager had run down the street instead of into the bank we'd _really_ have been in some Uncle Ben's Minute SHIT.
As it was, minimal exposure and few complications.
Bravo, crew.

>>17660892
Now we need to celebrate. LOW-PROFILE.

Like getting some beer and celebrating at home.

Then we need to search for more mooks.

>>17660880
Ahhhhhh. 200K splits 4 ways _nicely_. That's like 5K in Elysian Drop troops. xD

>>17660875
Ok,ok. No worries.

Alright guys, that was fun.

I've got a short story to write for class tomorrow.

Don't try to hide it OP, you just want to participate in Strike Witches.

>>17660981
this was fun

when are you doing the next thread?

Ok, one parting thought: The Anon who mentioned Tazers?
Good fucking idea, and let's take it further.
We should consider swapping to shotguns with beanbag rounds, and AP small arms like the 5.7mm as backup.
We mostly hit soft targets at close range, and no one knows what's in a shotgun when it's pointed at them 'til you shoot so the intimidation factor isn't hurt.
Shotguns also give us slugs as an alternate ammo type, which are both medium range accurate and useful on lightly armored vehicular targets like cop cars.
For next time: look at Shotguns with Less Then Lethal ammo, Tazers, and anti-vest pistols.
