The leader holds a blade against the young traveler's neck. Brigand: “You think the Imperial City will protect you?” Traveler: “No.” In a close-up of the leader's mouth: “We think it will hide us.” The robbers leave the caravan behind and walk toward the distant city. One says: “They say you can buy or sell anything at Tower Market.” Another replies: “Then that's where we're going.”

About this chapter
Street Smarts opens with four brigands robbing a caravan outside the Imperial City. They head into the crowded festival streets with their loot, where an encounter with a streetwise local draws them into a city that isn’t quite as easy to navigate as they expect.
