A quest to take back a stolen item from a corrupt merchant... Looks like this will be a simple one.

I just brought him into this inn and put him to sleep with a strong Snooze spell...

All that's left is to relieve him of the item and the quest is complete.♥

Too bad for you. I'm well aware that the nature of my business leads to many people holding a grudge against me. So I'm wearing an accessory that gives me resistance to status ailments.

Wha-!?
