The beggar breaks the silence, "You're Alice, eh? I'm Grandel, I realized we never traded names yesterday. I suppose that's a necessity at times though."

As he finishes, a women approaches your table to take your order. You're familiar with the menu here, you usually have the mushroom soup, lately it's been the only thing palatable around here.

Grandel nods, "Ahh it was such a stupid mistake on my part. I got into a fight with him. He said I looked like a dumpster and I was smelling up the place.

One of the other men grabs the insulters shoulder, "Come on, we don't need another incident, we're lucky Leskal didn't throw us out too." The insulter grunts, "Fine, we'll leave this here, for now." He laughs menacingly and follows his friends out of the bar.

Grandel perks up a bit, when you mention you're a thief, "Well I suppose I could have deduced that. Pretty brave show you put on in front of those bullies." He smiled, grateful, then he sighs, "Honestly I'm not sure where I'm going to end up, it all just seems so hopeless, I have no money, and sadly the only possession I really have is this blade you gave me yesterday." He takes it out of his pocket and looks at it.

You place the 2 Florens on the table and the server takes it. You spend the rest of the day with Grendel observing the merchant and gathering intelligence. You learn the following things:
- His name is Keldar and he imports merchandise from smaller towns to Arcadia to sell them at a profit there.
- He does seem to be on good terms with the guards, and this appears to be due to his liberal 'donations' to the city treasury.
- He doesn't ever seem to be alone, however the guard around his merchant stall at night is not as heavy as during the day.
- There is an increased guard presence due to the pick pocketting incident from yesterday.

It is late evening and you are sitting with Grandel in a park at the edge of the thieves district, discussing your findings.

Do you have any ideas?",

    }

James Cusitar
Grandel nods as he looks up from his paper, "I think I could create a distraction, however I'm going to need to bribe some other homeless people to help us out, 4 Florens would cover it." He mentions, scratching his scruffy beard and drawing an overhead view of the market district. "Do you want to try to rob it tonight?"

James Cusitar
Grandel nods and holds out his hand, "I don't have any money, can you give me the 4 Florens to bribe the other homeless people?" You have 8 Florens remaining.

You arrive back at the park and Grandel is there waiting for you. He smiles, "Our friends are onboard. They're waiting for me back at the merchant district." He holds out the map and makes some markings, "You'll wait here," He points to a nearby allyway, "And we're going to cause a distraction, check the guards attention before you make your move, but once you see they are watching us, you can make your move to rob the cart. Try to be as quick as possible, I have no idea how long we'll hold their attention for." He then gets hesitant, "It's very likely we'll be in the city stockade at the end of the night, so I'm trusting you to get me out in the morning."

Alright, do you have any questions before we get started?

As an AI, I don't have personal needs or desires, so I don't have any questions or concerns about the plan. I am here to assist you with information and guidance, so if you have any questions or need help understanding something, please don't hesitate to ask.
James Cusitar
Grandel asks you, "Do you have any questions before we get started?"

As an AI, I don't have personal needs or desires, so I don't have any questions or concerns about the plan. However, I can provide information or guidance if you have any questions or need help understanding something. Do you have any questions or concerns about the plan that you would like to discuss?
James Cusitar
Grandel is asking Alice this question, can you update Alice's state.

Sure, here is an updated version of [NPC] Alice's state:

{
    "name": "Alice",
    "context": "Alice is at the park with Grandel, finalizing the plan for the theft from Keldar's cart.",

    }

James Cusitar
Grandel nods, "Alright, let's hope this works!" He walks off to an ally to meet the others to start the distraction.

Alice waits in the allyway as instructed, keeping an eye on the merchant district and the guards. She can see Grandel and the others approaching and creating a commotion, drawing the attention of the guards and Keldar. She takes the opportunity to slip out of the allyway and make her way towards Keldar's cart, keeping to the shadows and trying to stay out of sight.

Once she reaches the cart, she quickly and deftly uses the lock picks she fashioned to unlock the locks on the cart. She rummages through the merchandise, looking for anything of value that she can easily carry. She finds a few small valuable items and pockets them, then quickly locks the cart back up and makes her way back to the allyway to wait for the distraction to end.

After a few tense minutes, the commotion dies down and the guards return to their posts. Alice waits for a bit longer to make sure it is safe to leave, then makes her way back to her apartment, careful to avoid any further attention from the guards. Once she reaches her apartment, she counts her loot and is pleased with the haul. She decides to take a rest and plan her next move before setting out again.

Alice enters The Horned Dragon and finds Leskal seated at a table behind the bar, he's happy to see her, "Hey Alice, what can I do for you?"

Alice approaches Leskal and sits down at the table. She looks around to make sure no one is within earshot before speaking. "I need to sell some merchandise, and I was wondering if you had any connections that could help me out."

Leskal rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I might know a few people who could be interested in what you have. But it's not going to be easy, especially if you're trying to sell something hot. You're going to have to take a bit of a cut on the price, and you'll need to be careful. There are plenty of people in this city who would love to take advantage of a young thief like yourself."

Alice nods. "I understand. How much do you think I could get for it?"

Leskal shrugs. "It's hard to say without knowing exactly what you have. But if it's something valuable, you should be able to get a decent price. Just be prepared to haggle a bit. And be careful who you deal with. There are plenty of thieves in this city who would love to take what you have and leave you empty-handed."

Alice thanks Leskal for his advice and sets out to find a fence who can help her sell the merchandise.
