Alzar has 2800 gp after three weeks stay, finding the components for Gilded Ears, and other expenses.
He comes back to the Golden Wyvern and sees a sign that was just posted. There have been a rash of burglaries for the last month from homes. Alzar heads inside and talks with the innkeeper. He has a few flyers for the local information and he gives one to Alzar.
Apparently, there is a 1000 gp reward offered to the person who can stop it. Right now, Alzar could use the spending cash. He heads to the local town guard and meets with a bureaucrat in charge of everything. He gets some basic information and then heads out to investigate.
Alzar spends the day collecting information about the robberies that occurred. They are too high profile to likely be the thieves guild. All of the attacks have occurred in the Green Garden district of Arjuna. Alzar purchases a map of the town from a local store and then finds all of the places that robberies have taken place and looks around . Are there similar places or shops around the targets? Perhaps they are all near a bakery or a blacksmith? Are they all within a radius of two blocks or so, or maybe they are all just outside of a sewer grate? None of those are the case.
The map is not getting very far, but Alzar does note something very important. Every burglary took place against one of two places. Either in one of the inns in the Green Garden district or against a mage in there. No other stores or people were targeted. All four inns have been hit at least twice.
Well, if the targets are mages and travelers, why not combine them both? Alzar grabs a wagon and some nice animals and rides to one of the local inns in that Green Garden area. It is the Roaring Stag Inn. He checks into the nicest suite they have, splashes around some serious coinage, and then retires for the night after offering to sell some spells to people.
