On the night of the 21st 303 AC, a group covered in common rags, with bandages wrapped around their heads to disguise themselves, a group of six walks into the Clinic in the central district of Regalia. Quentin Sinclair, Fell Ragnarren, Llewellyn Aeglossiil, Rei Kanter, Amber de Blouscheur and Casper Durant enter with the intent to make their organization known to the city. Their accomplice Alora stayed outside, watching the entry of the clinic.
The planning of the heist was well thought through, but the assumptions made by the group were completely incorrect. The clinic was overfilled since the riots a couple of days back, the entire floor was packed with people making it hard to move. Nurses were also constantly moving around, as many patients could not sleep, suffering from severe burn wounds and other ailments. The group was inevitably discovered by one of the nurses who, judging them from closeby with the limited light of her candle, could at least make out that they were able to stand up straight and walk, and probably had no place in the clinic which was only accepting the most severely wounded these days. She kindly asked them to leave to make place for new, more needy patients. The group did not take kindly to this nurse telling them to leave, so as silently as possible, they knocked her out cold.
Unfortunately, the clinic was so tightly packed that some of the patients and nurses noticed as the nurse yelped and fell to the floor. Initially there was a short silence, but as the other patients poked others awake, hundreds of eyes pointed themselves at the group. Llewellyn, who had an issue with being in crowded areas with a lot of people, felt a sudden nausea overcome her. She squatted to the floor with her hands in her hair; all the people were looking at her, the air was heavy and damp, and it smelled of rotten breath and dead people. Llewellyn refused to go further, yet the others pressed on.
Quentin Sinclair managed to find a key to the vault upstairs, but when entering it, he found absolutely nothing. The clinic once stored toxins and rare potions there for curing a number of ailments. These were all out of stock; only empty bottles were left behind as the clinic had used up its entire stocks on the recent patient influx. Hurrying downstairs, they were informed the second floor search party (or what was left of it with Llewellyn sitting on the floor below) found nothing either. Returning downstairs, the large crowd of people had already realized a heist was going on and rushed to leave the building. Alora killed one of the nurses trying to get out, but eventually was overwhelmed by the crowd, unable to stop the tide. Casper Durant found a single barrel unopened marked as Lampero opium. The other barrel next to it was already empty, presumably used up the day before.
The doorwatch Alora eventually spotted the guards who had noticed the rush of people running down the stairs and came closer, yet slowly because of the traffic holding them up. The clinic was in fact right next to a guard tower where patrols slept, and next to that tower was the central barracks of the harbor guard, the gatehouse, only two streets away from the Imperial guard tower. When it became clear what was happening, more and more guards came closer trying to make their way to the clinic. Alora knew this, and she ran off, though not before alerting her companions of the approaching guards.
The group sped out of the building, Rei Kanter casting some wayward fireballs at the building to set it ablaze while also tossing a flag down the staircase, there being no time to attach it to a pole at the base of the hill which was swarming with guards. The fireballs set the upper floors of the clinic ablaze as they ran on, the sound of alarm bells suddenly filling the night sky. Lights were turning on in every street and guards rushed to the avenues in search of the heist group. Eventually a patrol of guards caught up, the relatively frail members of the group were not able to run as fast as they should. Casper Durant saved the group from having to go into combat by hurling the barrel of Lampero opium at the guards, knocking them down and spilling the poppy seed all over the street and onto them. Immediately a crowd of beggars descended upon it and they used their opportunity to flee into the sewer maintenance runnels, disappearing down in the tunnels below.
The top floor of the clinic burned down completely, though luckily the fast arrival of the many guards and the relative vicinity of the clinic to the spa baths allowed the guards to quickly subdue the fire before it reached the ground floor. While the clinic had it's capacity halved, it continued to function, albeit more desperately requesting aid from the citizens of regalia to take in the wounded and care for the sick, as well as share any supplies they had. The heist of the Lichtblick clinic exposed a larger problem. The city guards became too few to properly patrol the streets anymore, and unsavory elements of Regalian society had started to prey on the poor during this troublesome time. The next morning, droves of faithful flocked to the temple which was still closed, praying on the steps to the entrance for salvation from their Emperor who was off in some distant land fighting a war.

= 50 = Roll result = 29
YES THEY GET DISCOVERED
Does Group Floor 2 get discovered moving up?
Base Discovery Chance = 50
-10 look like regular patients
+10 Clinic is overcrowded and the floor is packed even at night
+10 Casper is claustrophobic and probably gets anxiety from all the people around him moaning and breathing.
= 60 = Roll result = 48
YES THEY GET DISCOVERED
Does Group Floor 1 get discovered moving up?
Base Discovery Chance = 50
-10 look like regular patients
+10 Clinic is overcrowded and the floor is packed even at night
+10 Lle suffers from anxiety at large groups of people. The clinic is overpacked with sick people
= 60 = Roll result = 34
YES THEY GET DISCOVERED
Alore remains at the door.
When all three groups get discovered by a nurse, does the nurse send them away or lets them pass?
Base Chance = 50
-10 They look like patients
+10 They can walk so what are they still doing in the clinic?
= 50 = Roll Result = 15
Nurse tells them to GTFO
Does Alora jump in and pretend being injured to distract the nurse who tells them to GTFO?
Base Chance = 50
-10 Qan Ata really don't care about other people
= 40 = Roll result = 53
NO she does not.
Does one of the group subdue the nurse? Quick sucker punch to the face or something.
Base Chance = 50
+20 Large Group
+20 Don't care to hurt anyone
+10 Durant Brute
+10 Ice mage
= 110 =
Insta success
The nurse was probably carrying a lantern, did it smash into any furniture?
Base Chance 20 = Roll Result = 49
NO
Do the other patients and nurses notice?
Base Chance 50
+10 large group
+10 clinic is overpacked and the floors are full
= 70 = Roll result = 6
Yes they notice
Do the nurses or patients suspect something is foul or just a patient having some sort of seizure?
Base Chance 50
-30 Lle probably has an actual anxiety attack with hundreds of eyes on him in a tight location
-10 look like patients
= 10 = Rolll result = 10
sucks2suck the other patients and nurses see it
Does Alora kill a nurse running for the guards?
Base Chance 50
+10 Qan Ata I guess
= 60 = Roll Result = 58
YES
Yup the nurse drops dead. Everyone in the clinic is probably starting to panic at this point and starting rushing about. While Lle is laying on the floor having an anxiety attack, the others go ahead with the plan.
Floor 3 tries to bust into the cell. I'm not an asshole so to replace Quentin's acid waterbending shit, they find the key. The key unlocks a completely empty storage unit that was used to store valuable potions and tonics before. Obviously the clinic ran out of these ages ago and whatever gold may have hypothetically be there was probably not lore compliant because clinics are funded by the government and healthcare is free for citizens.
Floor 2 is one man short, and finds nothing, because there is, absolutely nothing. The clinic ran out of food bandages and medical supplies ages ago and is mostly surviving on scraps that come in daily, which are clearly already used up at night.
Floor 1 finds one unopened Lampero opium barrel and take it with them. At this point everyone in the clinic knows a heist is going on and a veritable rush of people crashing through the front door, far too many for Alora to kill.
Alora probably isn't dumb and would run because she knows the clinic is kind of right next to a guard tower and the guard barracks in the gatehouse, also just around the corner to the Imperial Guard tower, the dudes who sort of took control of the city.
Does Alora run?
Base Chance 50
+20 Is Qan Ata and probably just cares for herself
= 70 = Roll Result = 79
No lol she stays. Silly girl.
With the crowd rushing out and probably moaning and groaning for help, do the guards in the relative area notice?
Base Chance = 50 = Roll Result = 4
YES THEY DO
Alora sees the guards coming and probably wants to run after telling the others
Base Chance 50
+20 Qan ata
+20 guard are coming
= 90 = Roll Result = 74
Bai Alora!
Lle probably managed to restrain herself at this point as most of the people are limping out of the building.
Floor 3 and 2 come back empty handed, Floor 1 has the barrel. Proceeding to Escape phase.
====STAGE TWO ESCAPE====
Does the group escape before the guards arrive?
Base Chance 50
+10 small group
+10 loads of people pressing out, guards probably can't reach them
+10 they know the guards are coming because Alora told them
= 80 = Roll Result = 28
Escape is made. Rei shoots some fire into the clinic but she's obviously a student so won't be very direct with his spells, especially running from the guards. Fire starts. They sort of toss the flag down the hill I guess? There is no real time to attach it to anything.
====STAGE THREE ESCAPE STREETS====
The guards will have started ringing the bells as they do when some shit is going down given the fire and the veritable crowd and the dead nurse in front of the clinic.
Do they get discovered running to the sewer entrance behind the tavern?
Base Chance 50
+10 kinda look suspicious now with that disguise
+5 some of them are kinda weak physically and probably couldn't outrun a fit guard
65 = Roll result = 59
YES
Do the guards engage them in combat or does Durant just toss the barrel at them and escape with the group?
Base Chance 50
+10 they kinda wanna run
+10 Durant has a good throwing arm because Dralonais
= 70 = Roll result = 47
Escape secured. loot lost.
