The Five Bards: Maywin, Castenous, Recibel, Keglin and Asper travel from town to town giving their performances and pickpocketing the unsuspecting crowd. Having gone several months without a grand heist, the leader of the troupe, Maywin picks out a random little town on the edge of the continent and tells the group they are to rob the noble family in three day's time.
All seems to be in order and going to plan, until one of the Bards, Castenous, realizes this town is not as random as everyone would have liked.
