Last Alchemist
Exploit the sound of the approaching boots to plant evidence suggesting a high-ranking officer’s involvement in the chest’s disappearance, sowing distrust among the ranks and diverting their focus from the spreading fire.Quietly appeal to the approaching soldier, asserting that you are an operative assigned to safeguard the chest, and propose a fabricated mission where their assistance is crucial for securing the chest's safety and ensuring your extraction.Set up a makeshift snare or other impromptu device at the wagon's entrance to disable the advancing soldier, giving you a critical moment to focus on unlocking the chest and slipping away undetected.Alter the chest's lock subtly to suggest it has been previously tampered with, creating the illusion of a pre-existing breach and shifting their focus away from your actual objectives.
