The disguised redhead smirked to herself, as she hurried over to the vault for the next step. 1 in Speed to get to the vault.

You arrive at the vault. Which is locked with a simple 5 digit combination mechanism.

"...Hmm", the professor let out, as she observed the device. OOC: Did she have knowledge of the combination ahead of time, say via the security guards she bought over to her aid, or through the hacking she made ahead of time to study the building's defenses and systems? If so, she uses her Photographic memory to recall it.
If not, I'll use 12 into Concentration +4 from Genius into a 16 stones action to study the device and possibilities for 1 panel;
then 12 (Ef) in Deductive Reasoning +4 from Genius on the panel after that to figure out the combination and open the vault.

Luckilly you learned the combination from one of the guards and open the vault revealing a 60 x 100' room stacked with cash, gold, and jewelery.

"Gentlemen?" Moriarty said as she nonchalantly opened the door, gesturing at her men to bring in the containers as planned. "It's Christmas. Come and fill up Santa's bags", she said, smirking, as she proceeded to give them a hand. "Thomas, you stand guard and watch to make sure no one's coming our way. The others... with me." 2 in Strength, and 3 in Agility to help my boys fill up the containers as much as we can.

"Good. Now let's go back to the truck and then the ship. Go ahead", she said, waiting for them all to be out of the vault before closing the door behind them. "Onwards." Closing the door after we're all out;
2 in Strength to carry some of the 'treasure'.

You arrive back at the truck...
only to find the engine, and all four tires now have ornate spears impaled through them.
"Planning on going somewhere with MY treasure?" The woman from before asks two portals on either side of her with more spears pointing out.

The disguised professor froze in place at the sight. "W... What in the world is that? ...Magic? ...T... That's impossible!" she let out.

"Shows what little you know." The woman said. "Now unhand my possessions, and surrender peacefully. I might be motivated to spare you mongrel's lives." She said.

"Very well..." Moriarty said, despite her annoyance at being stated to 'know little'. "...Perhaps we can... reach some sort of agreement? I could pay you handsomely for my freedom, you know." 8 in Social Skills (Persuade) to try and buy my way out of this mess.

The woman scoffed. "Do I look like I need money at this point?" She asked. "All things in this world belong to me. Anything you have I merely let you borrow including money." She said. "Now take off that silly costume... I want to see what you really look like."

Professor Moriarty
Moriarty was about to call the woman out on her BS about owning everything in the world, but was surprised by her following words.
"...Y... You knew?" she asked, gritting her teeth as she reluctantly took off the cap, high quality wig and moustache she was wearing. "...What gave me away?"

Professor Moriarty
"King of-... what in the world are you talking about?" the redhead asked, frustrated that she had been so easily discovered despite her disguise being perfect as far as she could tell, and she could not accept such a half-baked answer. Still it wasn't like she was in any position to be arguing.
"...Hmph. Good work stopping my little scheme, I suppose. How infuriatingly anticlimactic. To think my genius would be defeated by some ridiculous 'magic' nonsense", she grumbled. "...Fine. Money doesn't interest you. Then perhaps my countless talents would make for a better offer. I could, for example, greatly improve the... honestly severely lacking security systems in your casino, given my expertise. Your... little tricks would be absolutely unnecessary given my improvements, I assure you. How about that? I help you, and you let me go", she insisted. Repeating my Social Skills stones from two panels ago.
