A Trap Sprung... sort of.

It takes a few days for their trap to get a nibble.  After all, thieves don't hit every day, and though they plant a rumor of valuable goods being in the Glover's shop it takes some time for word of this to filter back to the streets of Old Town.

But filter it does.  At its own pace.

Thieves can be enormously paranoid.  Or maybe, the enormously paranoid can be thieves.  Either way, the career track is one that tends to weed out the non paranoid quite quickly.

So it doesn't go unnoticed by the Harbor Market Thieves, that THEY haven't gone unnoticed.  Their rope around the chimney on the the produce shop certainly didn't untie itself.

Highly experienced professional thieves regard things like this, where conditions aren't exactly what they are supposed to be, as reasons to call off a plan.  Good chance they've been "made", so retreat, regroup, and revise.

But... most thieves aren't that type.

However, the fuss on the roof gets attention.

Andrea, who is the best in the group at disguising herself and blending in, has her attention drawn to where Khas said he found the rope, and she sees the hunched, cloaked figure pressed down on the roof, trying to fasten a new rope while being as inconspicuous as possible.

Finishing her business in the market as quickly as is reasonable Andrea makes a quick trip over to the station house across the street to alert the others waiting where they can't be found that things are going on, then returns to her own secondary position above the herbalists shop to remain hidden and watch for any developments.

Hedge made his way back toward the Market to rejoin the other constables and discuss their plans. With things in motion for a trap, Hedge decided to put off searching the wall for the time being. Instead he would join in this plan of a trap, catch the ones they could, and then follow the rest toward the wall.

He didn't have any particular abilities at taking on a disguise, but he was quite good at staying hidden and had some skills that were even better than a simple disguise.

On the day that the trap was to be set, Hedge didn't bother with his uniform. Instead, he put his normal commoner's clothing out and made an early trip to the barber's shop where he would wait for a signal from others that the thieves had been spotted. From there, he would change his body to take on the shape of a cat and wait for the trap to be sprung, then follow the thieves back to their safe place on four feet instead of only two.

OOC:  Considering the urgent rush nature of the situation- Andrea can only grab whose available right now, the next available character will be able to join her and Glenmark as they try to intervene at the market.

The others will be able to follow up afterwards.
