Wildaura04275 	What're you lookin' at!? This ain't none o' your business.
Mildaura04275 	I beg of you...please give me back the ring!
Towngard04275 	Settle down! Settle down, I say!
Towngardleader04275	You're the adventurer who fought off the blasphemies with us, yes? Oh, you couldn't have come along at a better time. Please just do me one favor: just act as if nothing is the matter.
Wildaura04275 	If yer goin' to make these wild accusations of me, ye best have some damn proof. I told ye, I've never seen yer damn ring. Now, I'll be on my way...
Mildaura04275 	How can you speak such lies!? That ring was my most precious keepsake! Oh, whatever shall I do...?
Towngardleader04275	Yes, that should do. Thank you...[Player Name], was it? If it wouldn't be too much of a bother, could I trouble you to assist us in an investigation of sorts?
Towngardleader04275	As you may have observed, that young woman believes that her ring was stolen by that─er, uncouth young man who just walked away. She has no physical evidence...and yet, I cannot help but believe that she is telling the truth.
Towngardleader04275	And so I hatched a plan: I would make a show of defusing the argument and allow the man to walk freely away. Then, I would have him followed, that we might glean some insight as to whether or not he committed the crime.
Towngardleader04275	That said, it would be far too conspicuous if I were to tail the man all by myself. What say I pretend that I am showing you─a visitor to our fair city─around the area? That way, I do believe we could approach him without arousing too much suspicion.
Towngardleader04275	Splendid! I cannot thank you enough. Let us follow that rather unpleasant fellow─I believe I saw him heading in the general direction of Yuj.
Towngard04275 	The captain has asked me to keep the young lady safe until this matter is resolved. If she truly has been the target of a crime, she may very well be in danger still.
Mildaura04275 	I have no evidence, but...it was that man, I swear to you on my life!
Towngardleader04275	Very well, then. Again, all I ask is that you act as natural and inconspicuous as possible. Let us see what happens.
Wildaura04275 	Heh, so much for the vaunted Radiant Host! Didn't suspect a thing, did she? What with everyone skitterin' about like frightened little rats, these are fine times for those in my line of work! Ahahaha!
Towngardleader04275	Did you see that object he was examining? It certainly appeared to be the stolen ring to me. But let us not reveal ourselves quite yet─with any luck, he will unwittingly lead us to his hideout.
Towngardleader04275	Here is the plan: I will pretend as if I'm giving you, a mere traveler, a tour of the city. Then, we follow him. Without getting too close, of course─the last thing we want is to blow our cover.
 	
Towngardleader04275	Are you all right back there? Worry not, our man is still in sight. Take a moment to catch your breath, and let us resume the chase.
Mountaineer04275 	Oho! It's been a while since I've seen a ring of this make. And inlaid with exotic jadeite, no less! Yes, this should sell for good coin...
Towngardleader04275	Just as I suspected─he had the ring all along. Well, I daresay it's time we interrupted this little transaction. Might I trouble you to summon my subordinate for good measure? I will keep watch here to ensure that neither the man nor his accomplice escapes.
Towngardleader04275	Pray go to Dharma and summon my subordinate as quickly as you can. Worry not─I will see to it that our man does not escape.
Towngard04275 	How fares the investigation, friend?
Towngard04275 	A rare jadeite ring, you say? That matches this young woman's testimony exactly. It would seem you've caught the culprit red-handed.
Towngard04275 	At any rate, I will make for the scene of the crime at once. And do not worry─we will not trouble you for any further aid. I assure you the Radiant Host can more than handle a couple of common ruffians.
Towngard04275 	Above all, it is because of your efforts that this dear woman will be united with her precious keepsake before long. In my captain's stead, allow me to reward you for your kind deeds. And with that, I must be off!
