You've been kicked out of the Guild, %PCName. Better make amends, or no one's going to talk to you.

I heard the Stone's back where it belongs. I also heard you made the museum into a bloodbath. That's not how the Thieves Guild operates, %PCRace -- we can't afford the kind of heat it brings. That's why I'm expelling you from the guild. Get out of my sight... better yet, get out of my city!

I heard the Stone's back where it belongs. I also heard you started a brawl in the Museum. Now, it wasn't a complex brief: return the Stone, and don't get caught. You performed step one, but you slipped up on step two. And, unfortunately for you, step two was the really vital one. The one the money was riding on. So if you've come back here expecting a reward, step out. You aren't getting one.

Not your best work, was it?

I heard what happened, %PCrank. It's a disappoiting outcome, to say the least. The guards know what you look like, now, and it won't be long before someone spills that you've been spending a lot of time in the Howling Noose. Not that we can't just pay off the Dusters, but it'll be a great expense.

That was well done, %PCName. I still wonder what that business with the curse was. But you and me don't get paid to solve mysteries, do we?

You did it? You actually did it? Well done, %PCName! I must say, I didn't think much of you when you first lumbered into my little hidey-hole, but you've got quick steps and neat fingers, that can't be denied now. Here's your gold. You've earned it. If you've earned a bounty for the actions you'd done before, consider it fixed as well.

I get it, %PCRank. I do. It goes against your every instinct as a thief. But trust me, the reward for this job will wash that bad taste out of your mouth.

Has the Stone been put back where it belongs, in the museum?

That's right, it's another Stone of Septimia job. And you aren't going to like it. It feels wrong even saying this, but... you have to give it back. The Stone. Put it back where you found it, without being caught with it. And the bad news isn't over. Word is that the College has hired the Fighters Guild to investigate the theft, and they're all over the museum. Getting the Stone back in won't be as easy as it was getting it out.

Don't worry about it, %PCRank. I'll make sure our client hears about the incident.

Lucky thing you were here, %PCname. And lucky we tested the Stone before handing it over to the client! Anyway, bad news: I don't have any more jobs for you right now. Come back tomorrow and there'll be work. There always is.

[She lowers the chain over her head and settles the amulet on her chest.] Now this... this is why I got into the business. Wait, what's that? Behind you!

It's cursed? If you say so. Well, cursed or not, the client's paying full price for it. Nicely done, %PCRank. Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm fresh out of work for you. Come back tomorrow and I'm sure there'll be a job necessitating your particular talents.

Oho! It's bigger than I thought it'd be. And heavier. Divines, I can't help myself. I have to try it on...

Don't tease me like that, %PCRank! There's a fat gemstone waiting for you to take it, and you're standing around shooting the breeze with this old lizard? I'm not sure you belong in the Thieves Guild after all!

I've wanted to put my hands on that thing since the first time I saw it. Are you about to make my dreams come true?

What can I tell you? It's a famous gemstone. If you're interested in the history, you can take a look at its tag in the museum while you're snatching it. It's the pride of the College of Firewatch's collection, outrageously valuable, and our client wants it. You know what to do.

It won't be easy, getting the Stone back. It's close quarters, in there, and they'll be paying attention now. If I were you? I'd try to get their attention focused elsewhere before making your move.

It hardly bears mentioning, but I'll say it anyway -- do not get caught in there with the Stone. If I were you I'd case the joint before committing to the heist. Or return. Or whatever this job is.

I'm envious, %PCRace. The Stone of Septimia is historic -- a fine prize. Do you know it? Perhaps you should take a little time to read up on the artifacts, if you're going to be in the museum anyway.

You're robbing the museum, are you? There's a guard, volunteer, devoted to the place. Used to sail for the Imperial Navy, I think. My advice? Don't get caught.
