Last Alchemist
With the guards distracted by the courier’s arrival, you swiftly coat the lock with a dissolving potion, ensuring it will quietly fail once you’re inside. The subtle sabotage ensures no one notices until it’s too late.With practiced precision, you drop an alchemical smoke bomb that erupts into a suffocating fog, forcing the guards to scatter and cough. Using the momentary distraction, you dart past their positions, staying hidden in the swirling smoke.You fall to the ground dramatically, gripping your chest and gasping loudly, as if you're struggling to breathe. The guards, caught off guard by your apparent medical emergency, move quickly to help and bring you indoors.With a calm but commanding demeanor, you extend the forged scroll to the guard, asserting that it bears high-priority orders from the imperial court. You emphasize the importance of their swift obedience, hinting at dire consequences for any hesitation.
