Echoes of Revolution
Raising your voice above the chaos, you yell, “The flames are heading for the wine cellar! It’s going to blow!” The staff and guards hesitate briefly before rushing to contain the danger, while the terrified guests stampede toward the exits, creating the ideal distraction for you to blend into the shadows and move deeper into the mansion.As a servant carrying a tray of keys passes by, you feign losing your footing and collide with them, sending the tray scattering across the floor. While hurriedly assisting them in picking up the keys, you discreetly slip the largest, most ornate one into your pocket, all while maintaining a flustered and apologetic demeanor.You tip over a fragile vase on a pedestal near the staircase, causing it to shatter loudly and scatter debris across the main route to the upper floors. The commotion diverts the attention of officers and servants, forcing them to reroute and granting you an opportunity to move through the mansion unnoticed.Noticing a lavish curtain hanging near the ballroom's entrance, you carefully brush a lit candle from a wall sconce against its edge. As the fire begins to consume the fabric, you blend seamlessly into the bustling crowd, leaving the growing inferno to draw attention away from your true intentions.
