[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6232236, member: 79141"] [b]Session 96a - Drama at the Navras Opera House[/b] Further investigation revealed that the tickets sent to Augst had not come from Rock Rackus. The unit suspected that the Ob meant to assassinate the lawyer but opted to allow the attempt and see if they could catch any Ob operatives redhanded. They positioned themselves throughout and outside the opera house. Uru was hidden in Augst's own box! Augst and his retinue arrived in two carriages as the crowds entered the theatre. Ignoring the entreaties of staff, he swept up the stairs to his box, leaving his Kell Guild thugs posted along the route behind him, with three hardened veterans stations immediately outside. The curtains rose and the performance began - a warm-up act of jugglers and acrobats accompanied by a full orchestra. Matunnaga was posted at the rear of the auditorium. He was the first to spot the curtain in the neighbouring box draw back. A hand emerged, fingers wiggled. Matunaaga raised his gun and fired, striking the would-be assassin even as his spell was launched. Augst shuddered and cried out. The injured assassin took a final chance and repeated the spell, but Augst had fallen to the floor of the booth, and the blow was glancing.
