Thieves in the Night

Criminal Activity

A pair of investigators are asking for assistance in investigating a series of stolen goods by a man wearing red with some child faced accomplices.

THIEVES IN THE NIGHT!   Argetshire is under siege by a dastardly new gang! Investigations into the brief sightings of an unnaturally obese man wearing entirely too much red and accompanied by child-faced cut-purses have lead only to dead-ends and more stolen goods in different parts of the Shire. If something isn't done soon, we might not have a single magic item left in the whole of our lands. You can meet with us in the OSHA Briggsfall office for the latest information. - Ogblub & Prunk, investigators at large   Reward for successful capture of the thieves: 1,000 gold Reward for successful return of stolen goods: 1,000 gold   Thieves in the Night (AKA Saving Santa Claus) It started with us (Growthan (that’s me), West Lee, Azaelea, Dittany Triaddottir, and Igor Strongaxe) meeting two orcs in OSHA headquarters that led us to an incident nearby by Briggsfall where we were met with the sight of NOT Rudolph dead in the snow a red sleigh flipped over in the snow with multiple open presents found around the area. West found a clue to a business called Tinckle’s Present Wrapping. At some point, Alistair the Greene met up with us and had to explain he wasn’t a tree again. The two orcs via eagle escorted us to a gnomish village. After landing I asked for instructions to get to Tinckle's present wrapping and was told the directions from an older lady. Once we got to the weird building we were immediately distracted by the delicious smell of beautiful bread and baked goods being baked. The other group members started to commit mutiny against me as I inhaled a delicious spiced cookie from the sweet old lady running the shop. After they were satisfied that nothing was gonna happen (and a gold of worth bread was spent later) we passed by a group of stables that held Santa’s reindeer inside (we knew this because Rudolph was inside). Suddenly Bees came out of one of the reindeer and started to attack us. After freeing all the other reindeer, we decided to have someone else deal with that and shut the door to the stables. After the Stables encounter, we meet Tinckle and his very adorable puppy. I don’t know what was going on in there because the puppy was good at receiving pets. After the very old puppy got up to leave with Tinckle, West led us down to a meat shop where there was a very weird goblin who kinda just said if we are here to deal with the body snatchers it’s throw his rotting meat room and push a button. Afterward, we meet a very naughty Santa elf who eventually turns into a weird non-binary person (their new name is Loaf) after a beat of a beating. Loaf led us through the buildings while giving us a nice tour and meeting others like Loaf (one is now named Stale) until we eventually got to a room with the real Santa Claus being held at gunpoint by The Italian (they totally had that name before I gave it to them). After a brief conversation that involved the gun to fire at a certain goblin, we agreed to let The Italian and Loaf leave while we sat with Santa. Then we saved Santa’s helpers and Mrs. Claus only to find the worst disaster to strike all the bread I paid for had suddenly aged past the point of eating. West had left to chase down other weird doppelganger people and I was told to write up this paper. -Growthan
