The thief looked at you, a bit started yet at the same time oddly... Embarrassed. Compared to the geezers, she was more conventionally attractive. Even Pylia seemed far too haughty, though she only stood by watching. “I uh well... I was planning to go to the city... Figured you know, start new there. But the closest city, Gransys, the roads rife with dangers. Goblins and such. So I... I figured I needed some money you know, maybe to buy some new stuff to start my new life, pay for a ride to the city...” 

The others seem to understand, but Iola was still ornery. “Oh is that right? Then what about that amulet them, the Iron Hammer? Ain’t you one if their boys?” The thief recoiled at her words and got nervous again. “I-I-I dont know what you’re talking about! I-I was just stopping by here for quick money, honest!” However you can easily tell he isn’t being honest. Perhaps you could convince him otherwise. (Another Persuasion or relevant skill check please.)
