When I became the headmaster of the School of the Seven Bells, I followed the rules that were set long before I came along. The only rules we break are those that involve thievery inside the borough. When my second in command, Alaric went out training a new pickpocket, he witnessed a girl stealing a scarf. Not only did he see her steal it, but so did an enforcer. The borough doesn't tolerate thieves and sentences them to death by hanging before the sun comes up the following day. He helped her escape, and for the first time since I've been in charge, an outsider was allowed in our school. Someone is looking for her, and now the school is at risk. We can't allow her to die, but how many of us have to die trying to protect her?
