Ah, yes, you must be very proud. Congratulations again. Was there something else?

A waste of time.

A bit too cunning, perhaps? It seems the thief didn't play along.

Dear me, yes, it seems to have worked. Wonders never cease.

Hah! No, it's way too late for that, outlander. Such a shame, too.

As I said, I wouldn't expect any trouble before the guards leave town, late this afternoon. In the meantime, you're free to dwell on how cunning the good captain's plan is, but you'll have to do it without me.

You're here. As much as it pains me, I suppose we DO have to go through with the plan. Very well; follow me.

Yes, I'm well aware of the plan. We will set up the trap at dawn.

The scheme did uncover more than I expected, for better or for worse.

Criminals are predictable, which is why my simple trap was so fruitful. You did well too, of course.

There's no need to bring it up, %PCClass. It was worth a try, and it didn't work.

I will hear no more of it. Especially not from you!

...

Remember to get there before dawn, %PCClass, and keep your eyes open.

There won't be any guards in the vault during that evening, that much is true. However, it won't be unguarded, because YOU will be guarding it! You will set up the trap in the Indoril Vault in two days -- the access is nearby, up the wooden platform. Get inside discreetly, alone and before dawn; the thief mustn't suspect that an outsider is still inside after the guards leave the building. There, you will wait until the evening, and apprehend the culprit if and when they show up.

We suspect the same thief very recently plundered the House treasury, under the very nose of my guards. You must obviously keep the information to yourself -- panicked townsfolk is the last thing we need. It so happens that the Guard will be attending a lecture at Denaven Estate in two days, and I will have it especially pointed out in town that the vault will be closed in order to increase security -- this should lead the thief to think the treasury was refilled, and hopefully will lure them in.

We suspect the same thief very recently conducted a heist... in the House treasury itself! However, many valuables were left around, which further suggests we are looking at one lone burglar. Infuriating as the idea is, the thief should be easily tempted to finish the job. It so happens that the Guard will be attending a lecture at Denaven Estate in two days, and I will have it called to attention in town that the vault will be unguarded, and therefore closed, in order to lure the thief.

Judging from your report, the burglaries conveniently took place when the owners, or at least most of them, were absent. Our thief seems to be quite the opportunist. And what better opportunity for a thief than robbing the House treasury itself? It so happens that the Guard will be attending a lecture at Denaven Estate in two days. I will have it called to attention in town that the vault will be unguarded, and therefore closed, in order to lure the thief.

Indeed, one will be needed to catch the burglar.
