Three hundred gold total. Nice. Sylvia thought to herself. Though she had to admit, when she heard that the shield belonged to the woman's husband, she immediately felt sorry for the poor guy who married her...

She spoke up, "Alright, three hundred gold for all three items. Sounds fair," She then told the woman, "Before I go, I just need something of yours. See, I have a friend who's an expert hunter with a dog. If we have something of yours, he can have his dog track down your items," 

She also mentally noted that she would bring in the actual thief as well. But she didn't say it out loud to the woman who might not listen to her reasoning.
