Echoes of Revolution
The spark from your flint lands perfectly, setting the fuse alight with a steady burn. Without hesitation, you melt into the darkness of the nearest passageway, relying on your mental map of the area to stay ahead of the impending blast.You carefully tip one of the gunpowder barrels onto its side and give it a gentle shove, sending it tumbling down the corridor. The clatter of wood against stone reverberates loudly, luring the patrol toward the noise and opening a window for you to slip further into the stronghold unseen.You decide against using a fuse and instead crouch by the barrels, striking your flint directly to create a spark. As the flame begins to spread, you race away, bracing yourself for the shockwave of the imminent explosion that will serve as your distraction.Dousing your lantern, you retreat into the alcove, seeking the darkest spot to conceal yourself. You remain motionless, listening intently as the patrol's footsteps echo closer, unsure if their path will cross yours.
