• We learned that the leader of the thieves is called Mol. She might have our belongings.
• We learned that the thieves have a hideout somewhere underground, and it has a hidden entrance.

Find our stolen belongings.

• We arrived in the thieves' hideout. It's time to get our stuff back.

• We finally got back our stolen belongings.

Walkthrough

Mattis is a tiefling child who sells goods along the path to the Inner Sanctum at X: 247 Y: 553. He can be found with his partner Silfy. Mattis performs a trick with a ring to garner interest, then asks if the party want to see his wares. The party can agree to see what he has for sale and, when they are done, a perception check reveals their pack is a bit lighter.

There is a sequence of three ability checks before this quest starts:

1. DC 15 Perception check: Mattis signalling to Silfy. Happens when opening the trading window. Can be passed or failed to trigger the next check.
2. DC 10 Perception check: Silfy pickpocketing the talking party member. Happens when closing the trading window. Must be failed to trigger the next check.
3. DC 5 Perception check: The interacting party member notices the pickpocketing. Happens when ending the conversation. Must be passed to start this quest.

To consistently trigger the second check (i.e. Silfy pickpocketing the talking party member), the party must wait about 30 seconds in the trading window before closing it. Otherwise the check doesn't always happen, making the quest impossible to start.

Secret hideout location.

The party can speak to Silfy, a nervous child who calls herself a 'guard' for the store. With an intimidation check, she refers the party to her boss, Mol, for more information on the stolen goods. The party can also speak to Mattis about the theft, which he denies having any part in. He refers the party to the crack in the wall behind him, if they can fit. Lastly, the party can speak to Doni, who disappears during the conversation. Passing an Insight check reveals a secret hatch.

The hole to the secret lair is down a ladder behind Mattis at X: 244 Y: 563. It can be accessed using  Disguise Self to turn into a small race, such as a gnome, or by utilizing a Wild Shape. Gnomes, halflings, and dwarves are small enough to access the hole as-is. It is also possible to use  Gaseous Form or  Wild Shape: Cat.

If the party save Mirkon in  Investigate the Beach, he invites them to visit the secret lair. If the hideout is accessed via this method, Mol happily hands over the stolen goods. Siding with Meli in  Return the Locket and saving Arabella from the snake in  Save Arabella can also put the party in Mol's good graces. If the party is neutral to her, she asks for a finder's fee to return some of the belongings.

Quest rewards

• Pickpocket's Bag - if the stolen goods are returned.

Notes

• A glitch can occur where the option to ask Mol for their belongings back never appears.
• Mattis can steal from the party more than once, if they return to buy from him before the quest is resolved.
