Stealing in the Market is a side quest in Leliana's Song DLC for Dragon Age: Origins.
Background[]
The fence Bonny Lem has made a brisk business selling items you and Marjolaine liberate from the Orlesian aristocracy. But you never guaranteed the buyers would be allowed to keep them.
Steal back the three fenced collections to have some fun with the Fereldan merchants. After all, what kind of morally bankrupt person buys stolen goods?
Acquisition[]
You start out with the quest in your journal at the very beginning of the campaign.
Walkthrough[]
There are three chests scattered in amongst the central market stalls in the center of the market district all of which contain items you must steal. The chests and the stolen items they contain are labeled:
- Finery by Ser Wolly (Fenced Historical Costumes)
- Medford's Imports of Import (Fenced Fereldan Jewelry)
- Renwold's Relics (Fenced Tevinter Antiquities)
Once one or more of these items have been obtained, Leliana may:
- Keep the items to sell later.
- Shuffle the items to different chests to cause chaos among the merchants.
- Plant the stolen items on Guard Captain Eams as part of Marjolaine's Vendetta.
Result
Havoc has been caused among the local merchants thanks to their vanishing merchandise.
Rewards
The chests may contain gold and silver. The three fenced items can be sold for gold, or they may be planted elsewhere for an experience award:
- Switching the three items between the three chests: 1250 xp.
- Planting the three items on Guard Captain Eams: 750 xp. (also: partial completion of the requirements for the Vendetta achievement.)
