[Closed] Just a regular ol' side quest

[conqueredhearts]

WHO: Iskandar, Jim, Sam, Anders
WHAT: There have been some thefts. Iskandar has been charged with forming a team to help stop them.
WHEN: Beginning and mid month
WHERE: Warehouses
NOTES: Thieves! Possibly some violence. Time will tell.

Iskandar had done some investigation of his own before forming his team. Easy enough to do when one could become invisible at will. He'd only needed to do so then wait a few days to see who was stealing from the warehouses. Of course, the culprit soon turned out to be culprits. Three different groups to be precise. What was interesting was that none of them had anything to do with each other. They were all just there for their own reasons.

With that in mind, he found three who had some time to help him our. Anders, Sam, and Jim. It was helpful to have two healers in the group and equally as helpful to have someone with some charm under his belt like himself. Not to mention they were all quite strong together.

So now with his mabari pup at his side, he waited in the shadows with them on a few different days...

A. Who let the dogs out?

[conqueredhearts]

The first set of culprits happened to be a pack of dogs. They seemed like some mixture of mabari and whatever the locate street pack was. Breeding had created some strong but hungry animals. It was easy to see them wriggle their way through the fence before sniffing about for something to eat.

"Keep quiet. We may be able to just catch them," Iskandar whispered to the others, hand up and eyes trained on the dogs.

B. Just a thief in the night

The next group came from a tunnel under the floor. Clever really. Not so easy to detect unless you knew what to look for. He would have been impressed were it not for the fact that they were stealing tiny amounts of lyrium to sell on the black market. That was what he'd heard them talking about the last time anyway. With how dangerous that could be, he knew now was the time to put an end to it.

With a hand up, he waited for them all to funnel through, nodding to the others to spread out quietly while he went to the tunnel entrance. Once they were all through, he stood the best chance of keeping any of them from slipping through it again just with his sheer size.

Not yet though. Just a little bit more...

C. Please sir can I have some more

This last group was the trickiest. They had once used this place as their own sort of headquarters which meant they knew the ins and outs better than anyone. Little cracks in security that everyone had been unaware of because they hadn't thought to look for them in the first place.

These thieves were the street urchins of Kirkwall. Hungry and dirty and ready to snatch food and things they could sell for some coin. Iskandar admired their cleverness in pulling this off but he also knew that handling these things the way they had the others wouldn't work.

So for these he'd asked the others to wait in the shadows with him again but had warned them in advance that this last group was going to be especially challenging. Hence why he'd made sure they all had food on them now. After all, children should not be handled the same as dogs or adult smugglers.
