  • [101] Albrecht distracts the guard nearest the door. His whiskers flutter; he raises those tiny paws towards his nose; he even begs for cheese. Petronella positions the explosives – after sketching hasty calculations on the floor with chalk. Vianne unstoppers an acrid fluid, which rapidly generates a thick black smog. She throws it into the most expensive looking loom. Workers and guards panic. Finally, Cinders charges into the mouse hole with a match.

Sneak[]

  • [0] Sneak
  • [101] Albrecht slips is the distraction. His performance as a lost pet rat is riveting. A gaggle of guards argue over who's taking him home for their children. Meanwhile, aided by an unstoppered vial of black smoke courtesy of Vianne, Petronella gets to work with lockpicks. She disarms the triple vial of Cantankeri poison, the rotating tumblers and the serrated unlock mechanism. Cinders barrels through the door.
  • [102] Albrecht slips into action as a distraction. His performance as a lost pet rat is riveting. A gaggle of guards argue over who's going to take him home for their children. Meanwhile, aided by Angel's clever distraction of literally exploding an hours-loom, Petronella gets to work with lockpicks. She disarms the triple vial of Cantankeri poison, the rotating tumblers and the serrated unlock mechanism. Cinders barrels through the door.

Force[]

  • [101] Sapping and sabotage are the order of the day. Albrecht feigns being caught in a mouse-trap – guards and foremen are drawn to attend to his pitiable 'death' sobs. Petronella gets to work an assembly line and a rotating saw. The air is quickly full of ricocheting nails. This provides cover for Cinders to rush the door, guns ablaze; she blows the lock clean off! Vianne scurries to attend to the punctured guards and workers – her care involves significant amounts of laudanum. You are unlikely to be disturbed for a while.

  • [104] She pads over to the Lieutenant. His moustaches droop, but he meets her gaze. \"Here's the thing: I don't like you. I don't trust you.\" Cinders stands nose to nose with him. \"But you were given a number and you've shared it with us. We'll see this to the end. All of us.
