Shadowy (Storylet guide)

You slink back to the familiar shadows of your home while keeping an eye on the trespasser. You know where darkness lies within your candlelit abode, something gives him a very relevant disadvantage. Just one strike and it's all over.

"Nice touch" a voice from behind you whispered startling you off your clandestine thoughts.

You quickly turned around only to see him behind you. You glanced back to the chair but only find a dog wearing a nice top hat napping comfortably.

You looked back to him and patiently wait for the inevitable attack but he tipped his new bowler hat (since when did he switched?). A Hastily Scrawled Warning Note dropped precariously off of it, briefly shining under your candles' light.

"This note can help you out of the most dangerous situations of your nighttime excursions" he said as he presses the note to your pocket. "You don't want to get people suspicious or you'll be back to New Newgate Prison in no time at all."

Your visitor then reached to his other pocket and produced a very familiar looking pouch of glim.

"Now go out there and buy some gear and practice your craft at Spite. You can learn a thing or two from the couriers, urchins and cats there."
