((this is kinda more complicated than a jedi mind trick you are able to do, so I'll make a roll for that nerfed with -1))
[1-1] Oh shit. It looks like you've done it wrong somehow. You hear a distant explosion, then men's warned screams. Looks like something tottaly unexpected and bad for you happened. From here you see them running at their goddamn howitzers and machineguns as they spot you. They're about to goddamn barrage you with whatever they have!

WhitusOpus
Only a few info is available - inside the folder you find a photo with a machine-typed 100 Imperials on it's back and another machine-typed list with a kind of shedule of this person's public entertaiments, like, theater, evenings at local aristocracy's places etc with exact times and dates. Those details made you think this is some kind of political job.
As you ask for forward, the halfling - you can now say for sure thatit was halfling - who gave you those says that the guy who ordered that one insisted on full payment only after the job is done.

((Don't worry, I have a plot for you already))
You read the Conjuration's third tome, the place where the very basics of material changes are described, when Jurand (Necromancer) runs into your library looking extremely worried. You have lost actual sense of night and day, and your watch tell you it is 5 o'clock, no idea if it is early morning or early evening.
 - Not like I'm turning offencive, but I have to ask you to leave for now. You see, I now have circumstanses that are forcing me to leave the castle. I'll send ya a message when I return. It is urgent for me to leave now, you see. And you, on the contrary, better to be right here for another day, and leave only then.
He turns away and cries for Librarian, keeping calling him Bookworm. He asks him to bring him several important books.

agree. Head to a building roughly 400 meters away from the mans usual route to the theater. Setup with Henrik, keep watch for the target.

"Blast it, I need more practice. Take the bastards down!!!! It's time to remind those meat sacks why everybody fears Dragonborn!!![/color]"

My 6 companions charge to get inside the enemy artillery range and open fire with dual pistols. I create an illusion of a another company charging them from behind.

[3-1] You fail to drive them all insane with your illusions, but about two or three run away.
[initiative roll - 6 vs 4] You shoot first.
2 x [1+1] Two shots go wide
2 x [2+1] These ones scratch the metal shields howitzers, crumpling them significantly
4 x [3+1] Those hit some optic devices men use occasionly. You guess that they will have hard time with aiming artillery now.
1 x [4+1] Regardless fearsome caliber, one seems to be only injured by a glancing shot. Still make him bleed to deathm you guess.
5 x [5+1] Thorn apart. What did you wanted when you get hit by those?

They have two machineguns firing.
[machinegun makes five shots in the period each of you fired from both of your pistols]
2 x [1-2] Those go wide
3 x [2-2] Whistle very near to you, still no harm
1 x [3-2] Glance your scales
3 x [5-2] Stop three of your girls from further advance by hitting them gard right in the middle of the chest. Still no harm.
1 x [6-2] One of the girls who stopped roars. She seems to loose an eye, but the pain is bearable and enrages her (-1 to shootin' skills or that, until the fight ends)

You are now about to jump over their barricades, exept the girls who were left behind.

WhitusOpus
Here's the sight of the theatre.
You have your position at the roof and prepare yourself. Goddamn rain. It is wet here. Finally, you spot him - he is dresssed in a black-tie suit under his coat, and holds his cane with elegance and grace. Unfortunately, as only he leaves his car, he gets surrounded by well-dressed merry folks, who must be his friends. Shoot anyway?

Try to influence the enemies minds to make them surrender, failing that.

The 3 of us still going jump the barricade in one group right in the middle and open fire. 2 of those who stopped advance to our left the remaining 2 advance to our right towards the barricade.

All continue shooting aiming for the machine gunners first then the rest after now we're to close for artillery.

No, wait. Wait until he leaves the theater, and for him to be alone and take the shot. If the opportunity doesn't present itself, take him out before he leaves.

(To Jurand)
Any intruders I should keep an eye-out for? Whats the nature of the emergency? If if its personal business, then I apologize and you don't need to say a thing. Also, is the sun out?  I've been hitting the books so hard I've lost sense of time. Haha

Alexandria
[4-1] You make them... not actually surrender, but quite disturbed by fact someone reached their precious minds. You feel yourself a bit weakened, more like mentally, but a bit physically as well. Magic-casting requires energy, large-scaled casting requires goddamn lot of energy.

[since your team was split in three, they will have an initiative roll each]
Team center - three gals, led by Alexis
[initiative roll - 6 vs 4] Central group used their sudden appearance as advantage.
1 x [1]
1 x [2]
1 x [4] You disable one of machineguns by a lucky shot
3 x [6] Fountains of blood! A flying circus of torn limbs! A feast of massacre! All those were three soldiers once, but no longer

Team Right Flank - two gals, one injured
[initiative roll - 6 vs 6] Simultaneous actions:
[3-1]
[5-1] That could shatter a machinegun, if only the gal shooting had her eye in place. The shot tears it's shield off, however, throwing a man behind it away.
[1]
[4] That one finishes the unfortunate

[1-2]
[3-2]
[4-2]
No effect from machinegun's fire.

Team Left Flank - two gals
[initiative roll - 3 vs 4] Having their machinegun shattered, these guys grab their rifles. [7 soldiers]
[2-2]
[3-2]
[5-2]
4 x [6-2] Girls are suppressed by fire: two get minor wounds of bullets that occasionally went between the scales.

Shooting back [-1 for suppressed condition]:
[3-1]
[5-1] One shot has made a wound in an enemy soldier. It must be really painful, judging by his scream.
[2-1]
[4-1]


WhitusOpus
Actually, you can see the theatre's Grand Hall through the glass windows. You see your target entering it, then dappering there for about half an hour before actual action begns.
That rain makes you sick. There s no dry patch of cloth on you by now, as well as on your comrade.
You wait for almost two hours. Damn, you hate this work sometimes.
Finally, the play is ended. You spot your target in the Grand Hall and track it to the exit. When he sits down to his car, you take careful aim with the help of your comrade, take a deep breath, then squeeze the trigger gently:
[4+1+1] Headshot. Nicely done. His driver  stops and runs out of the car, screaming for police.

Caerwyn
You spread along and have a look around. You search along the wall for some kind of lever, maybe, or inscription, or anything. You find a significant hole in the wall right next to the doors. It goes a bit more than a feet inside the wall, and on the bottom of it there is something like a rotating lever. the hole is just fine to put a hand inside it up to elbow.

UltraValican
Librarian brings him a few grim-looking chain-locked tomes.
 - According to my data, nothin' to be warned with around here. You see, my grandfather claims that I should join the Men in the Second Great War. He is, kinda, a battle-leech, not sure how it is ranked. He reached that level of mastercy in dark arts when you can freely transform your own entity between bodies with a special ritual. A soul of my ancestor in a eternal metal body. (he shrugs) So, yeah, it is a bit personal buisness. It is early morning now, so, leave in midday, somehow like that. Oh, and you may visit treasury, get some gold or something. But be modest.

"Frakking rain, I'm soaked through. Well, at least we're getting paid, right Henrik?"
He nods in agreement, then gets the case from the round and stands up, packing up everything and getting ready to leave.
Take just a moment to enjoy a job well done. Then, grab Henrik and head back to the Merc guild, taking the back streets that I knew so well in childhood.

Keep shooting, focus my mind on the enemies commander and force him to order his men to surrender.
