You enter the Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts and squint into its dimly lit interior. At first, you think the place is deserted, but as your ears adjust you hear faint rustling noises around you.

A hand taps you on the left shoulder, and you whip around to find no one there. Then you hear a voice from your right. “Greetings, adventurer,” it says, all oily charm. You turn and see a man wearing a domino mask. “My name is Shifty, the Thief Chief. Chief Thief? I’m never sure which. Anyway, here’s your wallet back. Oh, and your pants. Are you here to learn the moxious arts of the Disco Bandit?”
