Well today was certainly full of fun and excitement.  I was sure that key Ryken dropped went to the
 Aristos, so I thought I'd check it out.  I get there and what do you know, there's nobody home.  I
 take a quick look around and make sure nobody's around and I put the key in the keyhole, only it
 wouldn't turn.  Well that didn't make any sense, it HAD to be the right key.  So I wiggle it
 around some and then all of a sudden Ryken's standing right behind me!  I tried to play it cool,
 but he knew what was up.  Of course he had to have a little fun with me and let me try to get away
 with it, but I ended up dropping the key right in front of him...I could've kicked my own ass at
 that moment.  Surprisingly enough, he wasn't upset at all.  He even told me if I wanted to make
 sure I never got caught again, that I should hunt down some guy named Erdo and that he'd be able
 to help me out.
So after a bit of embarrassment, I finally left the Aristos in search of this Erdo.  Well I didn't
 get too far before I came across some guy fighting of a pack of those jungle wierdos...you know,
 the ones with the spears.  He was pretty impressive actually, flipping around all over the place,
 lopping their heads off left and right.  Heh, leave it to me to recognize this as the perfect
 opportunity to make my fortune.  While he was busy fighting off the jungle horde, I took the
 liberty of snatching up all the crystals.  I was almost in the clear when he saw me.  Luckily, i
 had a head start on him and he had to finish fighting those other guys off.  I made it all the way
 to the inn in Evansburg and ran upstairs.  A change of clothes, a smudge of dirt hear and there,
 and the ugliest wig you ever saw, and I'm a totally different person.  I wasn't actually expecting
 to see the guy again, but I thought I'd better be on the safe side.  Can't go getting caught twice
 in one day now, can I?  So the guy finally comes in and he doesn't recognize me (was there ever
 any doubt?).  I even scored another 200 gold coins off of him!  I told him I'd keep a look out for
 the guy he was looking for and he went on his way...and now I still haven't found Erdo.  Ah well,
 tomorrow's another day and there's ALWAYS more loot to be taken.  Hehehe...I can't wait.
