[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 6687435, member: 20307"] How do the PCs enter the picture? Are they hired by someone? If so, by whom? The master librarian would be one of the first persons the PCs seek out. They might meet him with another guy who more or less politely tells the master librarian to pay. A rogue PC might know this other chap. Short time ago a sage was declined to access the scroll by the master librarian. The sage made her discontent public. The thief naturally lays false tracks. If the unsuspecting PCs talk to him, he can easily distract them with any number of false accusations. In order to make money from the stolen scroll the thief has to employ a fence. If a master librarian gets in contact to a fence, that guy probably is somehow known in the community. Perhaps a different fence hears from the deal and wants to topple his rival by selling hints and actively searching for interested parties. As far as hints on the crime scene are concerned, it mostly depends on the PCs and their abilities. Thanks for help.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
