Kaden was prepared to roam about the underbelly all day long but after two short hours, he unexpectedly struck gold.

"Kind sir… please save my granddaughter…" An old man approached him, hunched over with a cane, his face wrinkled with age and concern. His eyes held a desperation that was obvious to see.

"What's wrong?" Kaden asked, his voice barely containing his excitement.

The old man's eyes welled up with tears as he explained, "My granddaughter, Lily, she's been kidnapped by a band of thieves known as the Shadow's Claw. They're demanding a ransom I cannot afford. Please, kind sir, you must help me!"

"I have begged and begged the city guards but no one is willing to help me. Please sir, my child's life is on the line." 

Kaden nodded. "Tell me more about these thieves."
