---

• On initial visit:
  • As Disco Bandit:

    The Accordion Thief looks you up and down, and sniggers a little. "Are you the new Disco Bandit? I guess Shifty's letting in just about anyone these days. I'm Stradella, the top Accordion Thief in the Department -- or anywhere else, for that matter. Now get out of my face, you're bugging me."

  • As Accordion Thief:

    "You the new Accordion Thief? Nice to see a new face around. I'm Stradella, the top Accordion Thief in the Department. There's not much happening right now, but check back later and maybe I'll have something for you to do."

• On subsequent visits:

  "Sorry, <Player Name>, but there's not much going on at the moment. Try back later."

The Wizard of Ego

• On initial visit:

  Stradella waves you over. "Hey, you with the face, c'mere. Listen, you're looking for a way to prove yourself in the Brotherhood, right? Course you are. So listen up, I've got a job for you.

  There used to be this wizard named Fernswarthy, see? Lived in a stone tower out on the Nearby Plains. He was pretty powerful, too, until he went and blew hisself up a few years ago. Well, see, we figure there's got to be some good loot in what's left of that tower, only none of us have been able to pick the lock on the gate. Some kind of magic seal, we figure.

  So, your job is to go to the Misspelled Cemetary in the Plains, find Fernswarthy's grave, and get the key to his tower. Hey, somebody's got to do the dirty work, right? You already know where the Cemetary is, right? Good luck, pal, you'll need it."

• On subsequent visits:

  Stradella frowns at you. "You haven't got Fernswarthy's key -- I know because I checked your pockets just now. Look, don't waste my time. Either get me that key, or get lost."

• With Fernswarthy's key:

  Stradella grins and takes Fernswarthy's key from you. "Nice one, <Player Name>. Maybe you're not as useless as you look. I'll have one of our more experienced agents check out the tower. I'm feeling generous, so here's some meat. Now, beat it."

You gain 500 Meat.

• The visit after returning the key:

  Oh, hey, c'mere. I got another job for you. Remember that key I had you go get? Well, it turns out everyone else is too busy to check out the tower. Go figure, huh? So, it looks like it's up to you again. Here's the key, and I'll mark the location of the tower on your map. Go sneak in, and see if you can find Fernswarthy's loot in the wreckage."

  "Oh, and a word of warning -- if you were maybe thinking of keeping all the good stuff for yourself, you might wanna ask Frankie We-Cut-All-His-Fingers-Off how we feel about that sort of thing."

• The visit with dusty old book

  Duncan Drisorderly sniffs disdainfully when you show the old book you found. "Feh, that's just an old copy of the Manual of Dexterity, we've got those things coming out our ears. You telling me that's all you found in the ruins? Man, what a waste of time. G'wan, scram, I've got other fish to fry."
