Success

Got it!

In between threats, yowls of rage and boasts of vengeance, all in language that would alarm a zailor, the beast lets slip a secret.


Failure

It knew you were there all along. But it waited until the last moment to step aside and watch you plunge into the street. You grab a gutter and haul yourself back aboard, thinking dark thoughts as it saunters off over the roof ridge.
