Echoes of Revolution
Jonathan notices a servant stepping out of the barracks’ back kitchen for a quick smoke and seizes the opportunity to slip through the ajar door. He keeps to the dim corners of the pantry, carefully weaving past stacked supplies to make his way toward the officers' quarters.Jonathan quietly takes out his grappling hook, anchoring it to the edge of the barracks' wall, and climbs with deliberate precision, pausing occasionally to avoid detection by patrolling guards as he nears the open window above.Jonathan uses a lantern to ignite a small stack of hay near the stables, creating a smoldering blaze that sends the guards scrambling to extinguish it. With their backs turned, he takes the chance to slip through the entrance undetected.Jonathan discovers a tattered British soldier’s coat discarded in an alley and slips it on, adjusting it to appear authentic. He approaches the barracks, saluting sharply and delivering a believable tale about a high-priority assignment to bypass the guards.
