Distant Shores - Recover Stolen Gem

A local shop owner of rare gems contacts Turk regarding information about a thief who robbed his shop last month.  The objective will be to locate the thief and recover the valuable Gem. Two clues will need to be resolved in order to find the thief.

Turk goes carousing and successfully recruits 3 grunts who are interested in helping, an Elf, Dwarf and a friendly Wererat.

From Mirholme, the band travels to Ekra, gathering food along the way. In Ekra the person the band needs to talk to is a prisoner! The bad guys raided her camp.

The person of interest is a prisoner.

The band immediately goes into combat with the bad guys rescuing the two prisoners. The prisoners are happy to be saved and gives Turk all the information about the Thief who is in Sortium. It's a successful interaction.

The journey to Sortium is uneventful. The party of Thieves are gathering food when spotted by Turk's band. They look as if they should be no match, but they fight well.

Turk and the Elf become Out Of the Fight and the Wererat flees the battle.

The Wererat transforms from man to rat, but flees from the enemy!

Unfortunately the Thief Leader and a second thief are able to flee the battle and disappear into the woods. Since the thief is gone there is no way to recover the stolen Gem.

Turk and the Elf recover, but the Wererat is gone. 

Turk receives -5 Fame and Fortune Points for failing this quest.
