A Handler in the Dalelands or The Merchant's Nightmare
Summary:
The request sounds simple enough: find the thief stealing things all over the Dalelands, and bring him back alive to Shadowdale. But leads seem to be so random. Who is he? What's really going on?
All you did was spend the night at the inn with some groups of adventurers. Why is the town guard banging on the door of your room this morning, demanding your arrest? What exactly did you do?
What foul deeds are happening at the Silver Stein Inn to cause patrons to disappear? Wait, there's a reward to solve this?
Description:
The Silver Stein Inn is easily the most popular destination for travelers within the city of Cantrahar. But for the past week, there have been rumors of some patrons heading up to their rooms for the night never to come back down; the room is empty in the morning, as if there was no patron there. The innkeeper has demanded that the city investigate why so many patrons are dashing off without full payment for services, but there are many who think there is something more foul going on. The Duke has offered a reward for information solving this mystery; perhaps an overnight stay would be worth the hassle.
