An eccentric noble might let their hunting cats have free reign of their house?As a Voodoo Assembly Toy - perhaps the whistle is part of some ceremonial regalia - it can offer some varied challenges to acquire them. Some of them are pretty normal - whistle, fancy hat, special paintbrush, funky knife, brazier? Perhaps some of them are a little odd - e.g. how do you steal a 2 ton sacrificial altar - especially now the priests of Hextor have adopted it for their own use?A living component - a huge, ancient and still living turtle (tojanida?) possibly?Places to hide the items... if there's likely to be more than 1 of them that the PCs retrieve:I had a thread a while ago about hiding places for a tomb:Inside a large Library was the one I went with: Had an 'Indiana Jones style' floor map, partially broken up and used to pave a road. It was buried under a room with some guarded archives - was good fun. They could hunt the streets for funny coloured cobbles (although they did something else instead!), get past some guards - with digging gear in tow and then fight a tomb load of undead. Enjoyed that session a lot - went really well! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />A military base of some sort.A haunted house.In the possesion of an infamous pirate with a serious gambling addiction.Everybody loves sewers.

Hold out for more money, investigate their employer, hock it to the highest bidder or otherwise throw a spanner in the works.  Given they know the local thieves guild I'd be suprised if they did, but you never know!</blockquote>
