Today is a great day. I think my plan is coming together quite nicely. These so called Sons of Waterdeep aren't very bright and won't know what hit them. Once the Thorp artifact gets stolen from them and sold to a fence I will have 10,000 gold pieces to start putting this family back on the map. It will only be a matter of time before whoever buys the item tries to use it and by that time the old man will be dead and Simon will be under my wing and easily manipulated. I will finally be the head of the family and become rich and powerful. It seems like the sun is brighter and flowers blooming nicer today! Once I told those three mercenary leaders about the item and what it was worth, they couldn't agree to my terms fast enough. The first one to steal the item gets the gold. No rewards for second place. Those goody two shoes Sons of Waterdeep fools have fallen right into my plan. I don't see what the big deal about them is. Oh well, before too long they will either be dead or too beaten to do anything. Hmmm there seems to be a rather heavy knocking at the door. Bah, that old geezer of a butler can deal with it.  I am going to enjoy my wine. What is with all the loud voices? I had better go see what is going on and deal with these peseants. I shall be right back....
