Success

Masterfully done

You gather Mahogany Hall's gang of urchins for some instruction in advanced sabotage and theft. […]

The children steal brushes and swap buckets of paste for pails of river-water […] Mahogany Hall's own bills remain undisturbed […]

Description summary:
You teach the urchins how to steal and how to disrupt your competition. The kids learn quickly. They replace buckets of pail-paste with water from The Stolen River (which causes the bills to dissolve after a while). They commit petty theft and vandalism. Only Mahogany Hall's ads remain undistorted. This reflects positively on the box-office profits.
