What people say

Quest Complete

Another initiate. Sometimes I wonder if the guild can hold them all. Ah, I see they sent you after a mage's [clothing]. It's a popular choice of late. You are now a member of the Thieves Guild. Whenever you enter a town, you will know if there are any guild buildings there. Unfortunately guild rules say I have to pay you for this worthless piece of trash because you stole it in the service of the guild. Here's a gold piece. Oh, I almost forgot. You are also entitled to a dungeon map. Here, let me show you where [the dungeon] is on yours.
