Follow Your Nose

You are Pip Dalloway, licensed Scent-Tracer of the Third Guild, and you have been handed a copper badge and one job: find Madam Orvala's stolen recipe scroll before the Midday Gong rings and the Bazaar of Vells locks its gates for the festival. The stall where it was taken smells of burnt cardamom and something sharper underneath — like ambition. You have a nose, a badge, and twelve minutes before this case is somebody else's problem.
