===Bestowal dialogue===
'You wish to learn the ways of the Burglar, do you?

'It is prudent to study your foe's weaknesses and weigh your own tactics before engaging them. For instance, approaching a foe from Stealth increases the potency of many of your attacks. After all, a moment's forethought could be the difference between victory and defeat!

'Prove your mettle to me, and I shall deem you a worthy Burglar. Although it is not the mosty wily opponent, I would ask that you approach one of the training-dummies nearby and strike it with a [[Cunning Attack]]. If your form is improper, it is better that you hone it against a foe that cannot strike back!'

HINT:

Burglars benefit greatly from {{color|yellow|Critical Strikes}} and {{color|yellow|Devastating Blows}}. Scoring such hits will allow them to use special skills such as {{color|lime|Double-edged Strike}}. In addition, many Burglar skills benefit from being in {{color|yellow|Stealth}}.

Try attacking a {{color|red|training-dummy}} from [[Stealth]] with [[Cunning Attack]] to inflict even more damage. 

===Background===
Your trainer wants you to use your new skills to prove that you are ready to face the many dangers that exist in the world.

===Objective 1===
* '''Strike the training-dummy with [[Cunning Attack]]'''
Use your [[Cunning Attack]] skill against the nearby training dummy.

HINT:

Burglars benefit greatly from Critical Strikes and Devastating Blows. Scoring such hits will allow them to use special skills such as Double-edged Strike. In addition, many Burglar skills benefit from being in Stealth.

Try attacking a training-dummy from Stealth with [[Cunning Attack]] to inflict even more damage. 

===Objective 2===
* '''Talk to the Burglar Trainer at the [[Edhelion Watch]]'''
The Burglar Trainer is at the Edhelion Watch.

Now that you have successfully used your Cunning Attack, you should return to your trainer and tell them of your success.

:'''[[Timbadel]]''': 'Well done, {{name}}! As you continue to hone your skill, I have no doubt you will learn even more cunning techniques to tip the scales of battle in your favor.

:'Now then, I believe you should return to Elladan.'
