Success
A clean escape
The Footpad's hacking cough is not an aid to stealth, but you manage to guide him out of the flophouse. He knows a few places in the Flit that might take him in and he promises to put in a good word for you up there. Jack loses, this time.

Rare Success
Something for you
The Footpad's hacking cough is not an aid to stealth, but you manage to guide him safely out of the flophouse. He presses a tiny glass vial into your hand. His last treasure from the time when he was a respectable gentleman.

Failure
Jill-of-Smiles?
You turn to the flophouse's landlady on your way out. It's Smiles! The noxious clouds of smoke from her pipe disguise his (her?) presence and a blade flashes. Your friend is felled with a straight cut to the neck and Smiles runs off giggling.
