An inexplicable theft

Introduction

Despite what Anaka thinks, I am not entirely incompetent. I did all the security tests that needed to be done around the jewel, and my informants found the name of the potential thief before he acted. I have no idea how he did it, but I know where we can find him. Do you mind if I drop the formalities with you? Here is my idea: you come with me at the criminal's den, you do your best to scare him, and he gave the Serpentine back to us. I'll give you, let's say, 75 percent of the reward and I clear my name. Sound like a plan?

Cunclusion

For a troglodyte sake! A hawk with a message was waiting for me at the inn. Apparently, no sooner had we left Enorwen, the thief managed to prove that he has been a bait used by the Mongoose. So we do not have the Flying Serpentine our hands. This bandit still escapes me. I may have an idea to help you please your employer, but first let me reward you for your support.
