Choice Text and Results
Pick up the chase
You charge after him, scattering the crowd he's hiding in. By the time you get to where he was, he's already put an entire stretch of sidewalk behind him.
You chase him across the Quad, keeping up with his pace. Eventually he dives into another crowd of students and you lose track of him among the jostling bodies.
When you lost track of him, he was breathing heavily and his cheap suit was soaked with sweat. Shouldn't be much longer now.
He seems to be looking for a place to rest overnight. Hopefully you can catch up with him before he finds one.
You've earned 3 XP in Perception
