An example from Wednesday's game. After a long day, the characters had decided to stay together at one of them's house, rather than disperse to their homes, and to keep a watch. This was worthwhile, as the crash of window glass at the front of the house and "whoomph" of a petrol bomb showed.
The fire was put out swiftly, via magic, and our best stealth artist (who's also our best fighter) slipped out the front, spotting someone with a rifle about 100 yards down the street. She was lucky enough to be able to sneak up on that person (they critically failed a Per roll). On arriving behind the (female) sniper, she broke one of her legs with two Rapid Strike kicks, grabbed the rifle by the barrel, and gave her another kick to the torso, at which point she passed out.
We brought the sniper in, immobilised the broken leg, and called the police. The sniper was well-known to them. They thought that this all seemed a bit odd, but it's a fairly nice (if Bohemian) area (Bloomsbury, London, 1930), we were all sober at 3am, it was obvious that the petrol bomb had been real, and we referred them to a contact at Scotland Yard. So they took the sniper away, and we resumed our sleep and watch, it being obvious that there had been a second person who threw the bomb.
