I'm gonna do what i do best; coming up with stupid plans that go way off the rails, but might just work. But first:

welcome new reader!!

Hello!

Now if there's anything that I've learned from playing crime-based video games, it's that going silent is a plan for those who have infinite chances at the mission. My view may be biased because I suck at stealth games, but nevertheless, if we put all of our eggs into the stealth basket and get caught, it's game over. on the other hand, if we put all our eggs into the going loud basket, then they'll call backup, and as far as we know, they have infinite police, and we have finite ammunition. However, the mathematical Principle of Explosion tells us that the answer always lies somewhere in the middle.

What I propose is a hostage situation. Here's the plan, we break in through one of the top floor windows, and incapacitate as many guards as we can with a nonlethal weapon and ensure they won't run away (possibly with some sort of rope/cable ties). I'm sure that the guards are intelligent enough to call for backup, however, once we've secured the first floor, we've finished the hard work. Assuming they'll negotiate, we'll simply negotiate for the obsidian star and a way out. If they aren't so cooperative, then we'll have to improvise, and if worse comes to worse, we cut our losses and escape.

What I think we should bring:
Climbing instrument(to climb up the wall and into the building)
Something to secure the hostages(rope, cable ties, etc.)
Maybe something to barricade the windows?
Weapon: Some kind of projectile weapon that can be used lethally or notlethally

This is just me spitballing a plan though, it wasn't very well thought out, as I came up with it in the span of like, 15 minutes. If ya'll would rather take the stealth route though, feel free.
