You could, y'know, steal the stuff and frame the bad guys.I'll assume your GM's a good guy and is willing to let you come up with plans he doesn't expect. If he isn't flexible, then well, you're supposed to steal the stuff, regardless of how hard it is, and then you're supposed to do the other missions for the bad guys until the GM provides you with a clear avenue for success. You would need to mitigate the various dangers to your reputation that would result from performing the actions these bad guys demand, but I'm sure the adventure would be survivable.If your GM's cool, though, and lets you screw with his plans, then you can think of ways to turn the tables on the villains. Most plans would require you to shake enemy surveillance, but with magic there have to be dozens of ways to do that. Once you have, you have lots of options. You could find a way to abduct one of the bad guys (maybe switching bodies with him using magic), then counter-infiltrate their organization to find out who's in charge and see if it's possible to threaten them with death until your loved ones are safe, and then kill said main bad guy.You could get some allies to figure out who is watching your loved ones, and then you arrange to have the bad guys watching your loved ones to be killed in a massive simultaneous strike.I think you need to figure out how vulnerable the bad guys are. If they could get this suit themselves, they would, so there's a logic that says they're weaker than you. You could simply play chicken with them and say, 'If you harm the people we care about, we will systematically kill each and every one of you who had a hand in it.'Maybe investigation hasn't turned up info about the villains, but why not go the occult route? You could speak with spirits or demon gods or whatever to find out who you're dealing with. Good luck.</blockquote>
