Echoes of Revolution
As the lieutenant fusses over the stain and the captain steps out, you notice a nearby oil lamp resting precariously on the mantle. With a calculated nudge, you send it tumbling onto the edge of the drapes, igniting a blaze that quickly draws everyone's attention, giving you an opportunity to approach the unattended satchel unnoticed.While the lieutenant struggles with the handkerchief, a small key tumbles from his pocket onto the ground. You smoothly retrieve it under the guise of helping, returning the handkerchief to him while discreetly pocketing the key—its connection to the captain’s unguarded satchel sparking your curiosity.You suddenly shout, “Fire in the kitchen! Someone check before it spreads!” The commotion draws the officers and servants out of the dining room in a hurry, leaving you with a clear chance to discreetly examine the captain’s satchel.As you offer to help the lieutenant adjust his collar, you "accidentally" bump into a small table, sending a fragile vase tumbling to the ground. The loud crash startles the room, creating the perfect distraction for you to inch toward the captain’s unattended satchel.
