Today is a test. You don't know it when you wake, but as you step out the door into the bright light of a sunny morning, you've already begun. It's only a matter of course that you end up standing at the bottom of the driveway leading to the mansion on the outskirts of town. You know the man who once lived there, called a great baron in an industry you don't understand. Who cares about textiles? Fabrics? Patterns? Most the time, it isn't you. Or maybe it is; either way, you are now staring up at the face of the mostly empty house, awash in gold from the early morning sunlight.
You can...
> Walk up the driveway.
> Look for any outbuildings.
> Stand here a while longer.
> Return to town.
