The snake and the mongoose

Introduction

I'm ready to admit that I have a drinking problem. In one particular evening, I may have talked too much. That's probably why the Mongoose stole the Flying Serpentine easily from me. You did an amazing job, but it would be surprising that the thief comes here with the stolen jewel. He either went by here and now is in Hawkoria or, we followed a false track thrown at us by one of his accomplices. For now, there is not billions of solutions. We should try to bait him with an even more appealing gem. He should smell the trick, but he could bite if it looks appetizing enough. So, we need to find a precious jewel and start the rumor that there is a merchant that hired me in Enorwen. I should play my drunkard self while your role will be to catch him when he is not looking. Sound like a plan?

Cunclusion

Perfect! We just have to wait until the Mongoose shows up and we will catch him. Hoping that the situation will not degenerate.
