One of these days, my mage Talks-With-Cats is going to have to get around to
creating that excruciatingly low-drain physical illusion spell that creates an
appropriate beam of light. It's just too useful for the intimidation factor...

Glad to see you advocate low drain, TWC :) (This is Gray)

I saw a cheap TV show once, where the guy had to get into a (relatively)
fancy party. He first snuck into the yard, and wedged a laser pointer (you
know, the boardroom meeting type) into a tree, pointing towards the door.
Then he walked up the driveway and tried to go in...the guard stopped him,
and demanded an invitation. The guy asked him to step to the side.
"Listen, my friend and I really want to get in here, but you see, we don't
have invitations..."
The guard looks annoyed but the man manages to convince him to take another
step.
"But, well, my friend is REALLY anxious to get in, and....well....he's
behind those trees pointing an assault rifle loaded with (insert appropriate
mm rating) hollow points right HERE." Man taps the red dot on the guards
chest. "If you move, or make any noise, he'll blow you away. Have a nice
day."

And in he goes.

Not very practical for a run, but I had to love the style involved.

No, what I saw DEFINITELY didn't involve prune boy...

It was a show with some techno-spy...communicated via radio/implant to a
friend who fed him logistical info...

I know it was a TV show, and didn't involve Arnie at all.

Is there a similar scene in True lies? I don't remember that one...

I think I remember which TV show you're talking about (haven't seen "True
Lies"), but I can't remember the title. I don't think it even lasted a
season on FOX.

Uh, no. Arnoid gets in using scuba gear, rips it off, is in a tux and
groomed perfectly underneath, gets in, gets the goods, walks out, is asked
for an invitation says "My invitation? It's right here." Pulls out his
James Bond Cigarette-Case-And-So-Much-More(tm, patent pending) Cigarette
case, hits the sooper dooper secret button, detonating the explosives he
placed next to the barrels of flammable liquids, and runs like hell.

No, it wasn't, at least in the cut I saw.

James Bond used something similar with a cigarette case in "Never Say
Never Again", though.
