[edit] Background Information

This quest is the second one of the Fighters Guild in Anvil. It involves a merchant who has a problem with thieves breaking into his store.

[edit] Walkthrough

Norbert Lelles is having a lot of break-ins at his store, Lelles' Quality Merchandise, in the waterfront area of Anvil. He invites you to stay overnight and discover who the thieves are. You can also take this chance to steal items from the store yourself.

After around 11pm, three thieves bust in to the store - Storn the Burly, Aenvir, and Dranas Lerano. Kill them and then report your success to Lelles at The Flowing Bowl. It turns out he recognizes their names as they were former employees of his. Nevertheless, he gives you a leveled reward and sends you back to Azzan.


[edit] Notes

  • If you're in the mood to loot, you can find a pair of Boots of the Eel in the upstairs bedroom to the left, along with two Emeralds and a Minor Detect Life spell-scroll in the downstairs display case.
  • If you're having difficulty handling the three thieves, you can run outside. The guards and other town folk will come to your aid.

[edit] Journal Entries

Upon receiving the quest:

Azzan has told me about a contract in Anvil, at Norbert Lelles store, Lelles' Quality Merchandise.

After you've discussed the matter with Norbert Lelles:

I've spoken to Norbert Lelles, who says he has had break-ins at his store almost nightly. He would like someone to stay in the store tonight and catch the crooks in the act.

After you've dealt with the burglars:

I have taken care of the crooks breaking into Norbert Lelles' store. I should speak with the shopkeeper himself.

Once you've spoken to Norbert Lelles again:

Norbert Lelles was surprised to learn that the men breaking in were all former employees, though none had been with him long. He was glad that the problem was taken care of, though.
