Success

The colour is true

You push through the audience. [...] Your knife flashes - you [...] leave with your blade darkened. The struggling artist adds the blood to his palette and grins. [...] The [...] artist grants you a cut of the proceeds.


Failure

He's not the problem. His friends are.

One of them [...] sees you coming. As you close on the rake, a meaty hand grabs your shoulder. You are heaved back. You floor the docker [...] but in the scuffle your target flees. [...] The painting is never finished.
