Success

The dumbwaiter's output

You find a ridge overlooking the road and take stock of the movement in and out of the castle kitchens, noting likely targets: smugglers with suspicious-looking bundles, the occasional 'scullery maid' who forgot to hide a tattoo.


Failure

Constables are on the prowl today. The Clay Highwayman's men choose not to approach.
