Chapter 184: The Heist

My cloak was stashed beneath the escape grate and I smelled a whole lot better. Most of the sludge was on it and my boots. After a moments thought I removed them and hung them by the laces from the grate. It was possible for someone to find them but highly unlikely. I chose to take that chance and diminish my stink to manageable levels.

To disguise the remaining stench I found some brandy in the store and used it like perfume.

My qi sight enabled me to track any living being with a core and I had not met a humanoid who did not have one. Regular folk had cores the size of a pea, but it was enough when they were in the next room or walking down a long dark corridor.
