Echoes of Revolution
At the edge of the marketplace, you yank down a string of colorful hanging lanterns, causing them to crash to the ground in a flurry of light and noise. As the curious crowd converges, you slip away into a narrow alley, blending into the shadows.A squad of British soldiers rounds the bend, their expressions alert and searching for anything out of place. Without hesitation, you step forward confidently, presenting yourself as someone sent by Colonel Ashcroft to look into the fire’s cause.You approach the rowdy tavern, the sound of laughter and clinking mugs spilling into the street, and step inside with confidence. Seizing a tankard from a nearby table, you blend into the crowd, all the while keeping a sharp lookout through the window for the telltale approach of British patrols.You leave the bustling street behind and push open a hidden door embedded in the foundation of an abandoned tavern, descending into a forgotten smuggler’s path. The twisting corridor swallows all light, and you cautiously advance, relying on the damp walls to guide you as faint vibrations hint at movement above.
