“Kliff! I found a way for us to make a fortune. Word is that those bandits are moving some valuables using a wagon. I’m going to steal the damn thing myself, and all you need to do is wait for me at the Anvil riverbank! We’re all going to be eating like kings thanks to this. I’ll even tell the others you helped out, so get a move on!”
