I was escorting Gadavyne and Sidene Farys to Akamora when the burglary took place. Wouldn't have happened on my watch, I can tell you that much!

Unless you want me to go on about how upsetting it is to suddenly find one's possessions missing, that was all I could say. My husband might be able to tell you more.

There isn't much I know, as it all must have happened while we were away. Aside from gold, a few pieces of jewelry I wasn't wearing are gone, none of them of any note.

You expect me to trust an outlander with my misfortunes?

I've told you of all which I could recall was stolen. Perhaps my wife can give you more details.

Captain Saravyne has recruited you to help in the investigation, %PCRank? Very well. The theft happened two weeks ago, while my wife and I were away in Akamora. Our chest downstairs was emptied of its gold, and I recall that a bottle of fine wine went missing.

Captain Saravyne has recruited you to help in the investigation? A... peculiar choice, but I trust he has his reasons. The theft happened two weeks ago, while my wife and I were away in Akamora. Our chest downstairs was emptied of its gold, and a bottle of fine brandy went missing.

The affairs of my estate hardly concern you, outlander.

I have told you all I could. May the Three guide your path.

I have little hope that we could recover what was stolen; however, the affront to the Temple cannot be allowed to stand. By their actions, those responsible have already brought the judgment of the Triune upon themselves; so am I confident our laws will bring them to justice sooner or later. Go with my blessing.

I noticed the thefts shortly before my students and the brothers came back from their journey to an ancestral tomb; they must have happened while only I was here. A few potions and some of the pricier ingredients kept in the dormitory went missing along with the gold and jewelry, but I didn't hear or see a thing. Although the total amounts to a significant value, I'm afraid none of the individual items were especially distinctive.

I can only repeat what I told the guards -- all monetary donations and a few valuable items were stolen last week. Needless to say, our members are beyond suspicion.

Indeed; as inconceivable as it is, someone even got it into their head to steal from the Temple. Just ask Salms.

You caught the burglar, Kiseen knows. "But wait", you will ask -- "Kiseen does not know or care about such things, and the Dark Elves do not speak to Kiseen; how does he know?" Kiseen knows, because now the Indoril are free again to bully Kiseen! So Kiseen hopes another burglar comes to Bosmora; a better burglar, stays professional, doesn't get caught.

Kiseen is very sorry that he can't be of more help.

Kiseen had nothing to do with the burglaries, Kiseen already said!

Khajiit is a good friend to Kiseen. Kiseen will try to help you; will say that, as you must already know, the Guild doesn't have a presence around here -- and so the Indoril's burglars must be working alone. That is all Kiseen can guess.

You have been a good friend to Kiseen. Kiseen will try to help you; will say that there are no organized thieves around here -- not that honest trader Kiseen would know! -- and so %PCName's burglars must be working alone. That is all Kiseen can guess.

Ah, Khajiit felt he was getting more than his usual share of queer looks from the Indoril, but didn't know why, and didn't bother to ask. Kiseen had his own troubles, remember? You helped, but Kiseen's had no time yet to delve into new --business with the people of Bosmora.

Ah, now Kiseen learns the reason for all the queer looks from the Indoril. More of them than usual, Khajiit feels, but doesn't know why, and doesn't bother to ask. Nobody will help Kiseen, so perhaps Kiseen will help himself to their things? Wise Indoril, see very far into the future! For now Kiseen has his own troubles, the %PCRace knows. You are helping Kiseen, yes?

Ah, now Kiseen learns the reason for all the queer looks from the Indoril. More of them than usual, Khajiit feels, but doesn't know why, and doesn't bother to ask. Kiseen has his own troubles, is busy with them still. Nobody will help Kiseen, so perhaps Kiseen will help himself to their things, yes? Wise Indoril, see very far into the future! No, honest trader Kiseen has no time for the %PCRace's burglaries.

I already told you, I'm not here on business.

Yes, I've heard about that. And yes, I had assumed the guards would suspect me. They already couldn't take their eyes off me from the very second I set foot in Bosmora, which is why they'd know -- if they had any confidence in their ability to spy on one single Bosmer -- that I couldn't possibly have anything to do with the thefts. I'll admit I'm not always on good terms with Imperial laws, but I've really just come here to visit my friend Sulemus.

Let the townsfolk gossip all they want now, %PCName. The burglar was caught.

Whether any more thefts are committed or not, I won't stop hearing about them until the thief is caught, mark my words.

Don't YOU dare bring up the subject.

...

Our cunning plan will hopefully put a stop to those.

As I said, I have a cunning plan to set in motion, and you'll have your part to play in it.

Here is some payment for your services. I can't say we have learned much, but what we did learn was enough to give me an idea... Since we're having trouble finding our burglar, we'll just set an appointment with them. Speak to me when you believe you're ready to handle the thief -- I have a cunning plan to set in motion.

I see. The burglar is able to operate unnoticed, but prefers to do so when most occupants are away. If they don't live in Bosmora, then they must at least have had an informant here keeping them posted on the comings and goings of Gadavyne Farys and the temple attendants.

Have you interrogated the suspects?

I wasn't really expecting either to just break down and admit to the thefts. I have every confidence the Khajiit, at the very least, is doing something illegal -- but there are higher priorities here. I won't arbitrarily detain the both of them, especially since I cannot entirely rule out the possibility that the burglar is from outside of town.

Very well. Come back to me once you've investigated the case, and do not tarry.

Have you made any progress?

Come back to me once you've investigated the case.

Despite the Guard's best efforts, no progress has yet been made towards finding a culprit -- the actual perpetrator, that is. While I would be all too content to blame it on that derelict Kiseen and get rid of the nuisance in the process, we do need to collar the thief for these incidents to remain isolated. Another possible suspect, the Bosmer Elegel, arrived in Bosmora right before the thefts. Interrogate these two as well, and report to me with anything you learn.

At this point, why not? The matter is already public knowledge, and there are certain kinds of information an outsider might have better luck at obtaining than my guards. The Farys reported thefts occurring at their manor, and Salms Andala over at the temple also declared valuable items missing. These would be the places to start an investigation; see if you can learn anything from them to begin with.

All right.

Nothing but a couple of isolated incidents, yet the idea of any crime being perpetrated on Indoril territory is enough to make townsfolk gossip and get the House agitated. As luck would have it, I am too busy fending off the political pressure contingent to the problem to address it in any meaningful way.

That isn't something I would discuss with the likes of you.
