The air in Leipzig is thick with gunpowder smoke and the sickly-sweet smell of rot. Distant musket fire punctuates the guttural shrieks drawing nearer. Through the haze, a figure stumbles toward the heavy church gate, his blue coat tattered and stained. One hand clutches a torch, its flame guttering in the foul breeze; the other shoulders a black powder keg. His eyes, wide with a desperate resolve, find yours. "Move!" he rasps, voice raw. "I'm blowing this gate open. Our only way out is through it."
