The Steelers Gang
(view spoiler)[
Lady Karsyn runs into the tavern! Her hair is amok, her dress is amok, her shoes are amok, she is just generally amok. You inquire as to the state of her amokness.

"I've just been robbed by the Steelers Gang! I've always admired them from afar. They're just wonderful to watch work. All precision and stamina. But this is taking things too far!"

You agree that it's much better to watch and hear about thieves than be the subject of such a situation. You decide you should try to help to ensure that Lady Karsyn wants to stay in Novel Kingdom for a longer visit.


*Read 2 books about thieves or where something is stolen to get into their mind. - Book #1: The Black Tattoo 4/20 - (Charlie's body is stolen/taken over by a demon called The Scourge), Book #2:

*Read one book with 300-310 pages to set the timer on the trap and watch it fall into place. - White Horse - 4/30/16 (306 pages)

Lady Karsyn is so pleased with the return of her valuables that she gives you 10 gold for your help. (hide spoiler)]
