“Well recently we’ve had some break-ins at night. My inn, the local grocer, and the general goods shop has all been hit every night for the past week. At first it was just small stuff, food and what not. But recently we noticed coins missing, and just last night we spotted the thieving rat who’s been stealing from us. If you could catch em, I can promise you that me and the others who’s been affected will pay you a hundred gold coins, plus a few free favors here and there. Can’t speak for the others but I’ll let ya room here whenever you want if you can catch the criminal.”
