"You know, I'm somewhat worried. With so many men here in town due to the festival, the castle is nearly defenseless."
Defenseless? Huh, [[I wonder...]]You enter the tavern. The room smells of spirits and a buff man is arm wrestling people in the back of the room. You approach the bar to see if they have any rooms.
"No coin, no service. Sorry, but those are the rules. Besides, even if you did all the rooms have been booked up for the festival.

You don't have money.
This festival might be the perfect chance to infilitrate the castle. With a little planning it could be possible to break into the treasury.
With all that gold there are no limits of what you could do. You could live like a $Royalty, help the poor, or buy passage to somewhere far far away.
It wouldn't be without risks though. One wrong move and you could find yourself thrown into the castle dungeons forever.

You're sure there may be people in this town that are willing to help...assuming they get a cut though. But without help you might not be able to pull this off.

She asks you if you've noticed the amound of guards here in town. She explains that there are more of them here due to the festival that the king is supposedly going to be at.
She admits that she's been thinking about taking the opportunity to break into the king's treasury while the castle is less defended, but has been wanting to get help in making the heist happen.
She asks you if you want to join her.
