The Heist

Prologue quest. Aurelien asked the group to steal something from Lord Aralest's vault. The group found entry points (hired as entertainers, invitation, secret entrance), got ahold of some security badges, and secured the item, at which point the Aralest Mansion was attacked by a group that included some undead, possibly agents of Luskan.

The group learned that a corrupt guard at Aralest Mansion named Garrus was ripping off Aralest's shipments and giving them to Lord Kramer, Aralest's chief rival. The group captured and questioned Garrus who was under some magical means to prevent him from revealing information. Garrus died when asked directly who would want to steal from Aralest.

Heist report from Thelonius
Lord Aralest let inspectors check the grounds, but didn’t talk to folks. Body of one mage and several creatures that appeared undead but had some essence bonded to the corpse. The Grey Cloak's are also investigating.
