Meeting under mysterious circumstances, Diamond Jim and Igon were approached by Dirty Dave Darling in the common room of the Jagged Dagger
Pulled along into this meeting were Whisp, Dennora, and Sir William
Dirty Dave gave the group an address to meet a contact where they'd be asked to perform a job, "a wrong thing for the right reason" for quite a bit of money
The group spent some time establishing new names and disguises to travel the upper levels of Trine
They took a golden gondola pulled by a baby turtle dragon to a warehouse where they met Mr. Yellow
Mr. Yellow is an art collector with a vast collection of perfectly preserved pieces in his warehouse
He let the group know that a painting by the virtually unknown, yet renowned artist Artain ton Lorish, was in danger of being stolen by the famed thief Jasmine
If Jasmine were to get the painting, it would surely disappear forever, so the group needs to steal it first, so it can be kept safe in Mr. Yellow's collection
The group was given a stipend of 100 gold to buy clothes and accessories to take into a ball being thrown by Faye Villen, the owner of the painting
Mr. Yellow seemed intent that Whisp go along to identify the painting, giving only the clue "it shows an evil beyond knowing."
