a <weapon name="fine sabre" bonus="2" group="5.578"/>,

</p>
<p>
You make your escape the way you came, and glide down to the slums. You are welcomed by the Brotherhood of the Night as a hero after such a daring exploit. You will have to donate <lose shards="100"/> and <lose item="?" group="5.578">one of the items</lose> you found to the brotherhood as its 'cut' for setting up the mission. Note which items you want to keep on your Adventure Sheet.

When you leave, one of the rogues who went on the mission says, 'Come back any time - especially if you're looking to make a purchase. We have a large stock of items that have, er ... fallen off the back of a cart, if you get my drift.'
