What have we here? An unknown assailant disappearing into the night without anyone seeing him. Only the Harfoot belongings have been taken, and Crispen has the bad luck to be glimpsed by Adelard on a perfectly innocent errand.... (Or at least that's what Crispin will say.

)
This does not look good!
Actually, you can "blame" Alak for this distressing situation. This clever subplot of the disappearing thief was part of her original game proposal and I am only setting up the narrative in the story so you folk can play this out.
If anyone wants me to tweek their character, just tell me and I'll try to comply. If you don't want me to use your character at all, let me know and I'll substitute another one instead into the story. Hopefully, though you can use this as a latch for your own posts.
