What they say

The parley

Duchess Irinia Heartsworn
Quest Offering Duchess Irinia lets out a sigh and says, "House Vermach, of course, denied all of the charges against them, and the Houses were foolish enough to let the issue fall away. Find more than they have stolen and return the items to their owners." "Why do people refuse to see the plain truth before them?" Margrave Thistle You say, "Margrave Thistle, are you missing something?" Margrave Thistle peers at you and says, "I do not misplace anything. I document everything carefully enough that I can always find it." You shake your head and say, "The item I'm referring to was stolen from you." Margrave Thistle's cheek twitches. "You mean the documents?" he asks with a hard edge to his voice. You nod and say, "Yes, important looking documents." You show them to him. Margrave Thisle goes red in the face. "Theif!" he says. "I knew it. You are a theif!" "Once again, I am not the thief," you say. "I recovered them." "I see," says Margrave Thistle, narrowing his eyes. "Then who stole them? The Vermach again?" You shrug and say, "I found them hidden in the Vermach manor." Margrave Thistle frowns and says, "Our investigation found nothing amiss there." "That's because they are master thieves," yousay, "and they could see you coming in your bright white clothes from a mile away." Margrave snorts and says, "Perhaps more covert approaches are necessary to catching them..." High Sorceress Alia Tanvager You say, "High Sorceress Alia Tanvager, I have something of yours." "Do you now?" asks Alia Tanvager. "And how did it come into your possession?" "I took it back from those who stole it from you," you say, producing the reagents." Alia studies the reagents. "Yes, these came straight from the College's stores." "I figured those foul Hilthorns to have taken them and wated them on prestidigitating their undead," she says. You shake your head. "No, it was not in fact the Hilthorns," you say, "but rather the Vermach." "The Vermach?" asks Alia. "You have sung that tune before, and no one could prove they were involved." "But I found all these goods in their manor," you say. "That may be, but there is no other proof," says Alia. "So you think the Vermach are innocent?" you ask. Alia frowns and shakes her head. "No, I've no doubt they're guilty, but I cannot afford to speak out against another House with no proof." You frown and say, "The proof is in your hands." "All I see are missing reagents found again," she says. Count Valik Remniol You approach the man carefully. "Count Remniol?" you ask. Valik's face shoots up from his book. He looks startled. "Yes?" he asks. "You have many fine books," you say. Count Valik nods and says, "I do, yes... They are something of a passion of mine." "It seems as though you are missing a few," you say, looking to the empty spots on his shelf. Count Valik lets out a sigh and says, "Yes. Many of my favorite books have recently been filched." "Is this one of them?" you ask, pulling out the book." "Why yes, thank you!" says Valik, eyes wide with delight. "Oh, well, then, I am glad to have returned it to you,: you say. "You wouldn't believe who stole it..." Count Valik nods and says, "The Vermach, again, no doubt." "And yet you still won't do anything about it?" you ask. Count Valik sighs an shrugs. "I am a thinker, not a do-er," he says. Quest Completion Duchess Irinia smiles and says, "Hopefully, they will now be convinced." "The road of justice is sometimes a difficult one to walk," says Duchess Irinia. "But we just allow injustice to persist. Honor and duty bind us to it."
