Lugard urchins stealing mah moneys

[Tiani]

The one at In the Scaffolding worked once, then it broke. The one at A Roof of Red Tiles did not work at all.

The small, malnourished child's face is pinched and drawn, smudged with
soot and grime and smeared with mud. His shock of unruly, knotted hair is
matted with filth, and the corners of his red-rimmed eyes are filled with
rheum. Sharp eyes keep watch over the rooftops, one arm cradling a long,
splintered plank and the other never far from his notched, rusty dagger.

A grimy-faced urchin has a few scratches.

a grimy-faced urchin is using:
<worn on body> a plain brown shirt
<wielded> a dagger
<worn on feet> a pair of well-used worker's boots

You attempt to peek at the inventory:
a torch
a pair of sursa
ten copper pennys
some dried fruit

[Shivar]

I’ve found stealing the sursa makes them more willing to do their job, when they break.
