  1. 1
    Speak to Snipes in the Old Mine. He asks the hero to lure Aaron away from his own chest long enough for Snipes to work the lock.
  2. 2
    Go to Aaron and tell him that Ian wants to see him about something, but do not know what. Aaron leaves his post.
  3. 3
    Return to Snipes. With Aaron gone, Snipes now sells the key to Aaron's chest for a handful of ore.
  4. 4
    Open the chest with the purchased key and take the contents.
  5. 5
    Optional profit loop: sell the key back to Aaron himself for more ore. +150 XP.

Deep in the Old Mine the digger Snipes has been watching the guardsman Aaron stand over his own chest for longer than any chest deserves. The task he hands the hero is simple on the surface: pull Aaron away long enough that someone with the right key can get to the lock. The profit lies in the paperwork - the stolen chest-key, once pocketed, can also be sold back to its original owner.
