[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6162323, member: 6674868"] Oh... so you need the item stolen, but not by the patron. There is a master figure behind the scenes who doesn't care? I'm not fully up to speed on Eberron culture and political intrigue, But I'd imagine there are are few options. -Espionage upon the father's noble house, this has been well suggested. -Hire a thief, this has been well suggested. -Kill the father/raze his household. Send in some form of assault, from single assassin/thief to a mercenary troop. The Patron's Master is angry that the PCs did not stick to the bargain, he will make then pay by killing the father and/or burning his house to the ground. He can blame it on another house to redirect the PC's to another faction, while the patron knows his master was responsible. Add a few extra layers of relational plot tension. -Have the Master approach the Father directly. I don't know who the Master is but if he's in any position of political power, he might be able to negotiate for the item diplomatically. [/QUOTE]
