The redcoats will likely shift their focus to you, granting the courier precious seconds to evade capture.You notice a pile of barrels by the dock, some of them oozing lamp oil. Using a stray spark from a flint, you set the oil alight and swiftly disappear into the darkness, leaving the growing inferno to distract the soldiers and create an opening for the courier to flee.You boldly confront the redcoats, pointing at the courier and alleging that he’s a rebel operative plotting against them. Despite the guilt of betrayal, you bank on this gambit to maintain your loyalist persona and create a chance to recover the vital letter later.You enter the dim light with exaggerated clumsiness, pretending to trip as if you’ve just arrived. Pointing at the courier, you loudly claim he’s been pilfering from your belongings, aiming to distract the redcoats and buy him enough time to flee.
