An Uninvited Guest

Objective
Catch the Thief that is stealing from the local merchants at night.

Walkthrough
Speak with the Inn Keeper to start this quest, then speak to each of the merchants who are being robbed, afterwards report back to the Inn Keeper. Say your ready and time will progress to nighttime, the Inn Keeper will send you out to catch the thief.

Catching the thief is easy to do, simply wait at the gate for him to walk over and then chase him into a corner and grab him as he tries to run past you. Giving chase once he is past you is a waste of time, simply go back to the front of the Inn and wait for him to come back, there is only one exit from the town and he will always come back to it, so don't go chasing him up the hill towards the church, the optimal situations is to have him run towards the destroyed hut that you did the "Floral Delivery" quest at. He simply circles it and tries to come out the other side so wait and grab him.

Another method is to face him, not chase, then hit him with a melee weapon once. If the attack connects, he will stop momentarily, but will give you enough time to grab him. He circles from the Village Cathedral to some small cliff facing the beach in an 8-style loop. He will try to turn and run past you when you when you are close enough coming from behind, usually insulting you or telling you to give up as he does so.
