Loredas, 23rd of Last Seed

	It is done. I have taken the money that Brynjolf has requested and there is no doubt in my mind that because of this my reputation in Riften has been tarnished. Even now as I sit here in the tavern I get cold stares from other patrons, but I don’t exactly blame them. Let’s just hope that my undeath goes unnoticed; if that was discovered, I’d be chased from the city for sure.

While we’re on the topic, this vampire situation hasn’t proved easy. As the days pass I find the sunlight to be more and more bothersome, and normal food and drink fails to quench my base desires.  The way I ache from my core almost drives me to feed on the living. I’m just glad I haven’t been given the chance to do so yet without being discovered. Oblivion, if I ever even get the chance, I’d probably take it…

My monstrous condition aside, I’m not quite sure how to proceed with the guild now that I’m considered a member. Just outright putting them down like the dogs they are has crossed my mind more than once, but maybe I could plan something more subtle in regards to their downfall. For example, this new job I’ve received. My first task as a member of the thieves guild involves a honey operation located just outside of Riften called Goldenglow Estate. My actions there are in direct response to the owner’s sudden silence and lack of cooperation with the thieves guild and Maven Black-Briar, one of the guild’s most important clients. They want me to provide some property damage in the burning of some of the bee hives, but if I were to burn all of them, then the Black-Briar’s would have to find another location for their mead’s honey. 

Also, I was able to work up the gold to get myself inside the Riften jail to talk to Sibbi. Everything regarding the horse that Letrush wants is located inside Black-Briar Estate, which provides ample opportunity to ransack the place while I’m there. I’m a bit concerned with how easy it was to get the information out of Sibbi; could this possibly be a setup?
