Echoes of Revolution
Spotting a brass vase within reach, you hurl it at the window, sending shattered glass flying in all directions. Amid the startled cries, you bolt for the exit, weaving through the officers and disappearing into the crowded streets of Boston.You slide your hand across your thigh, tracing out the subtle signal that rebel allies recognize instantly.
