Weekly Actions: Your presence makes this mission a glorious success, mostly. The approach was simple and easy. Half your minions drove an unmarked white van up on the transport vehicles, while the other half created a roadblock to slow them down. Then your minions struck like a hammer striking against an anvil. Your minions easily overpower the guards and transport the tapestry into your own vehicle. The problem at this point was you'd just pulled off a heist, in broad daylight in the middle of a traffic jam. Your escape options were greatly limited and police sirens could be heard in the distance steadily approaching.
Your minions decide to ditch the van. Carrying the tapestry under their arms they book it down the street, led by you. A fierce shootout with police forces ensues while your minions attempt to secure new transportation. You yourself get involved in a fistfight with a dozen police officers before being almost dragged away by your minions.
The police attempt to pursue you but an unusual power surge gives you a series of green lights, and causes dozens of accidents behind you.

With your oversight, your minions have come up with a passable plan to seize a resource shipment. The shipment is small, but your minions feel it offers the best chance at success currently.
The trouble with using a nonlethal device to cause mayhem is that casualties are almost nonexistant. However panic is caused by your application of the Goo Cannon. Just not very much. +3 Not.
Your thug fails. It is an embarassment to his skills, and your other minions taunt him for his failure to extort a little old lady. He claims there was a gang of them and they beat him up. But who would listen to that?

ACTION WORLD NEWS! Tonight:
Good evening, I'm Dirk Nightly. Forces of Evil, better known as the Crimson Fists have struck at a shipment and stolen a priceless historical tapestry. We go live to the scene with Dawn Weathers.
"Thanks Dirk. I'm on location where the diabolical criminal mastermind of the Crimson Fists masterminded the seizure of a priceless medieval tapestry thought by many to be worth millions. Their leader was on the scene and caused many police officers who were first on the scene to be placed in the hospital. Bystanders were shocked at the violence shown here today.
