All great ideas! So maybe we could say the Family controls secret magical casinos and speakeasies within New York City that serve certain types of alcohol that are officially banned by the Magical Congress due to being labeled unsafe for human consumption. We can just make up names for these banned magical drinks, like Goblin Ale, Dragon Whiskey, Trollshine, etc. Many members of the Magical Congress are corrupt, accept bribes from the Family, and actually frequent the speakeasies themselves. But perhaps there are some street level gangs that are opening up their own establishments in the city, and the Zucco Crew's first mission is to take a few of these out of the picture to send a message, eliminate the smaller gangs, and loot any chests or safes they have. That should give everyone a chance to use their specialties XD. 

Starlance, what type of animal do you want your character to turn into? Depending on what it is, we could have your character scout out our targets by posing as just a passing dog or cat or bird outside or something. If you wanted a larger, more ferocious animal, then we could have WhiteAngel send in one of her smaller creatures as the scout instead, like maybe a magical sugar glider than can turn invisible or something. What do you all think?
