Find A sly thief (Heartland Plateau  at Roams  • Roams in a large area, stopping periodically at certain spots) .

Note: Talking to a sly thief may make your pockets feel lighter. You'll lose money in random amounts, the walk-through below shows example numbers

You say, 'Hail, a sly thief'

a sly thief says, 'Stand still, friend. I just saw a spider crawl into your pocket! I'll fish it out for you free of charge.'

You lose 19 platinum, 8 gold, 5 silver, 4 copper pieces.

You say, 'You have sticky fingers, Rogue. Don't think I didn't notice that!'

a sly thief says, 'Yeah? Well, I bet you Druids get sticky fingers, too, with all those foraged berries you stuff your faces with! Bah! You're as uptight as those dryads.'

You lose 28 platinum, 5 gold, 2 copper pieces.

You say, 'Hey! Did you just steal from me again?!'

The Halfling stares at you.

a sly thief says, 'No.'

You lose 30 platinum, 6 silver, 3 copper pieces.

You say, 'Hmm. Anyway, you mentioned dryads. Does that mean you've met them as well?'

a sly thief says, 'Aye. It sounds as though they're not on your good side -- or maybe you're not on theirs. What a joyless bunch they are, and light travelers, too. I suppose that's to be expected though, given that they frolic about wearing next to nothing. They have all the modesty of a Dark Elf lass!'

You lose 16 platinum, 4 gold, 1 silver, 9 copper pieces.

You say, 'Not all of them are so light on supplies. In fact, one of them is a merchant.'

a sly thief says, 'Truly? I must've overlooked that one. Still, I doubt a dryad could offer anything that would be of use to a Rogue.'

You lose 7 platinum, 8 gold, 3 silver, 8 copper pieces.

You say, 'You're right, though she does offer something a Druid like myself might be interested in.'

a sly thief says, 'And just how interested are you in this... whatever it is she has?'

You lose 6 platinum, 3 gold, 2 silver, 9 copper pieces.

You say, 'Oh, you know. Casually interested. Minimally interested. Just barely interested enough to bring it up in the first place.'

a sly thief says, 'Don't think you can fib to a Rogue, treehugger! Least of all a Halfling Rogue. I can tell you want what she's got, and you want it badly. Now, let's cut to the chase. You name the goods. I name the price.'

You lose 6 platinum, 6 gold, 5 silver, 8 copper pieces.

You say, 'Very well. I'm looking for copies of the Ring of Heartlands and Circle of Heartlands spell scrolls. The dryad called Amisha sells them in the middle of the standing stones along the northern riverbank. Is that too tall an order?'

a sly thief says, 'Not at all. Wait -- was that some kind of height joke?! Anyway, my specialized services don't come cheap. I was leaning toward a pricepoint of five thousand platinum, but I'll do the job for half that amount if you net me a new pair of Gloves of Deceit. Mine are threadbare, and I'd like to replace them before doing a sensitive operation like this. I imagine that Dwarven dimwit in Thurgadin won't even stop to wonder why he's crafting them for a Druid as long as you hand him the supplies. And while you're at it, you will throw in, oh, five dozen foraged berries to sweeten the deal, won't you? Picking pockets puts stress on the appetite, you know. So, twenty-five hundred platinum, Gloves of Deceit, and sixty berries. Got that? Once I have the payment, I'll do your deed lickety-split. Come see me when you're ready to make the deal. You pay me, then I'll pay you. No funny business. You have my word.'

You say, 'It's a deal. I'll return with the platinum, gloves, and berries. But wait! Shouldn't we at least trade names if we're going to be business partners?'

a sly thief says, 'I don't care who you are, and I'm not giving up my name. It's part of my mystique! Now, make yourself scarce and bring me my payment. Anyone who sees me consorting with some shady, no-name Druid is bound to think I'm up to something. An upstanding girl like me can't afford to be developing a reputation.'

Gather the following items and return a sly thief.

Gloves of Deceit

Berries x60

2,500

You say, 'Hail, a sly thief'

a sly thief says, 'Ah, you again. Do you have the payment yet? Remember, we agreed upon twenty-five hundred platinum, a new pair of Gloves of Deceit, and sixty foraged berries. You bring the goods, then I'll pinch your spell scrolls.'

You lose 2500 platinum pieces.

a sly thief says, 'Yes, this looks good. You work fast, Druid, but this old girl can work faster. Meet me at the back of that caved-in tunnel across the river in a short while. I'll have your scrolls...'

Donning her new gloves, the Halfling slips into the shadows.

Head to the meetup spot indicated by a sly thief.

This looks like the meetup spot indicated by the Halfling. You should wait here to see if she shows...

You hear frantic footfalls getting closer...

a dryad says, 'Get back here, thief!'

a sly thief says, 'There you are! Quick, take these. I believe this concludes our business. Ta ta!'

You receive Spell: Ring of Heartlands.

You receive Spell: Circle of Heartlands.

a dryad says, 'Stop at once!'
