Bestowal Dialogue
You spy some coffers in Thama Aklam that are probably filled with ill-gotten gains.
Investigate these coffers to see what has been keeping the brigands so busy.
Background
Thama Aklam has many coffers in it, likely home to ill-gotten gains.
Objective 1
Thama Aklam is host to many suspicious coffers.
Inspect coffers in Thama Aklam.
Objective 2
- Open suspicious coffers in Thama Aklam (0/4)
Thama Aklam has become home to a number of brigands.
- Suspicious Coffer: You open the chest, anticipating gold and glittering jewels, but are instead met with the sight and smell of an old, mouldy shirt.
- Why would anyone keep this?
- Suspicious Coffer: At first glance, the chest appears empty, but a seasoned adventurer knows that looks can be deceiving.
- You knock on the bottom of the chest. It rings hollow.
- Aha! A false bottom.
- You pry it open with your fingers to reveal a hidden compartment that is also...
- Empty.
- Suspicious Coffer: Among the mundane items in this coffer, you find a stack of neatly folded papers.
- Perhaps these are missives, plans for attacking nearby settlements or travellers on the road.
- A cursory examination reveals them instead to be love letters -- poorly written love letters best not read by anyone. Ever.
- Suspicious Coffer: Within this coffer is a small supply crate.
- You pry open the lid, revealing a strongbox.
- The strongbox, in turn, contains a thick canvas sack.
- You peer into the bag only to find a small chest.
- You open the chest, expecting to find something precious, something worth something to anyone, but it is empty.
- And then you realize, the containers were the real treasures all along.
Objective 3
You have inspected many coffers.
- After a thorough inspection of their coffers, you can safely conclude that these brigands are either largely inactive or largely ineffective.
