Stolen paintings

Corek

All I did was agree to be a few hours late repairing the window, and they gave me a painting. That's all. Give me a few coins and I'll give it back to you. If you refuse, I'll ask somebody else to give it back for me, and we'll share the reward. Either way, I'll leave without finishing my beer. My cousin is a well-respected merchant in Hawkoria, according to his letters. He'll offer me a job, and somewhere safe to live.
