    • Player: I have this letter from Captain Degreene here.
    • Player hands over the letter.
    • Captain Waltain: Thanks!
    • Captain Waltain reads the letter.
    • Captain Waltain: So you're looking for a sorcerer in red robes? He might be responsible for the magical storm?
    • Captain Waltain: Sergeant Scowler, ask the guards if they've seen anyone like that.
    • Sergeant Scowler: Aye sir.
    • Sergeant Scowler leaves.
    • Captain Waltain: In the meantime, [Player], Degreene has said you can do some detective work for me.
    • Captain Waltain: If you'd work a shift at the Waterfront Market, that'd be helpful. It's plagued with increasing numbers of thieves.

    • Sergeant Fowler: Yeah, I can show this provincial some real policing.
    • Sergeant Fowler: First get your official handcuffs from the desk sergeant in the next room. Then meet me at the waterfront kid.

    • Wait, why do I have to pay?
      • Player: Wait, why do I have to pay?
      • Desk Sergeant: If we just give equipment out, too many guards aren't careful with it. We get lost and damaged handcuffs all over the place.
    • Actually I don't want them if I need to pay.
  • I would like to buy some detective equipment.
  • No thank you.

The Waterfront

• Choose option
  • I'm ready.
    • Player: I'm ready.
  • Hey, I do real guard work in Hopeport too.
• Sergeant Fowler: The thieves in this city like to target the markets. I'll show you how to spot the blighters.
• Sergeant Fowler: First, we stand around, looking unconcerned, but actually keeping a sharp eye out.
• Sergeant Fowler: Wait, do you see that fellow over there?
• A thief is sneaking around the market.
• Sergeant Fowler: This man might be an ordinary customer, or he might be a thief.

• Sergeant Fowler: We've caught him in the act! Quick grab him.

• Choose option
  • I'm already a real guard.

    • Sergeant Fowler: Is that what you think? In that case I'll leave you to it for a bit.
  • Thanks. I'm glad to be of service.
• Sergeant Fowler: See if you can catch a couple more thieves. I'll be in the guard lobby.
• Sergeant Fowler: You can always talk to me there to learn where the latest thieving outbreaks are.
• After some time, Captain Waltain arrives.
• Captain Waltain: How's the thief catching going?
• Player: I've caught a couple already. You have a real problem here, there's so many thieves around.

• Captain Waltain: On a brighter note, one of my men informed me he's seen that red robed sorcerer.
• Player: What? Where?
• Captain Waltain: In the Goose Inn, a few days ago. You should ask around in there. See if anyone knows anything useful.
• Player: Thanks. I'll do that.

The Goose Inn

• Rachella: Lenny works me so hard. I could do with a break about now.
• Choose option
  • Why not take a quick breather?
  • I'm looking for a red robed sorcerer.
    • Player: I'm looking for a red robed sorcerer.
    • Rachella: Ooh yeah. A guy like that was in here.
    • Player: Do you know where he might be now?
    • Rachella: Um ... I shouldn't tell you stuff like that. Lenny says customer privacy is essential.
    • Choose option
      • Don't let Lenny boss you around so.
        • Player: Don't let Lenny boss you around so.
        • Rachella: He's the only one who'd give me a job though. There ain't many prospects for a girl from Morose Lane.
      • Anything I can do to change your mind?
        • Rachella: Yes, but it wouldn't be easy.
        • Rachella: I want to set up my own business selling my own handicrafts, but I need to be a member of the merchants guild to do that.
        • Rachella: Problem is they have stringent entry requirements. A commoner like me needs to prove their ability as a merchant by collecting a list of items.
        • Rachella: Some of those things are hard to find.
        • Choose option
          • Is it cheating to have someone else collect the items?
            • Player: Is it cheating to have someone else collect the items?
            • Rachella: No. I'd be trading the items from you in exchange for information. That's part of being a merchant.
          • What do I need to find?
            • Player: What do I need to find?
            • Rachella: You'll have to talk to Channer Goldway in the merchant's guild to get the current list.
            • Player: Okay I'll go talk to him.
            • Rachella: Of course if you get two of each item as you collect them, you'll get into the merchants' guild yourself.
          • I've not got time for that.
      • Okay, thanks for your help.
  • Sounds like you're a bit lazy
  • Catch you later.
