Bishop - Lampblack HQ Heist

First Score

Been given the lair, there was no doubt Lyssa, the leader of the Crows would contact us in short time. No three days passed as we got a knock from Bella, the second in command of the Crows, telling us to meet Lyssa for our first extraction.

The Plan

Get in, steal their stash, get the fuck out. Simple... Just one issue: We were up against the headquarters of a gang six times our size with only a blueprint of the place and no other angles. Four coins were the reward. But as as a new gang and eager, or daring, as we are, we got to preparing right away. Guard changes, lock types, traps, entrypoints, everything was accounted for, in our heads at least. Turns out, already a faction such as the Lampblacks have tight sworn secrecy, and gathering information on their HQ specifically was something very difficult. Fortunately, Caesar had a contact that he worked with that could spare him details on the guard shifts at least. All other angles were blanks.

The Score

We entered through the roof, making our way down during the five minute window where the guards were changing at the adjacent watch tower. Once inside, we approached the locked door leading into the basement. Caesar placed a whiskey bottle infused with sleeping potions on the counter next to the door while him and I buried ourselves in dark coal piles. No problem, since the HQ was in an abandoned coal warehouse. 2-Face on the other hand saw himself above the rest, hiding as a guard behind some curtains. He, obviously, got caught at once and could convince the guards that he merely dozed off on his shift and missed the change. He was out of the picture. After the tumult, the two guards drank the whiskey and had a great, long, nights sleep with bloody throats. We got the door keys from them and entered the basement where I found myself in a familiar duel: lock against pick. I managed to win this battle and opened all safe compartments, revealing the gold, which we took and promptly existed the building with.

Complications

Not only was 2-Face thrown out, he re-entered the building again the same way we did the first time, just without climbing gear, in order to leave a provocative letter at their leaders desk and get ourselves in even more trouble than we already were, killing off 12% of the Lampblacks gang force. Also, on the way back to the lair, Caesar must have lost a coin some way, which we all don't have an explanation for.
