Deputy Kegie won't leave the relative safety of his post, so it's up to me to see if I can't figure out why barrels of jum jum are going missing around the area. I'll start by looking through the scene of the crimes and searching for clues. With the Deputy so frightened, information is sparse, but I'm up for the challenge.
Stage 1
Look for clues around empty jum jum barrels to see if they reveal something about the thief. By staking them out, I will likely encounter the miscreant.
Start: | Examine jum jum barrels around the Enchanted Lands. I'll start in the Lost Village of Bobick. |

My hunch was right. By staking out various jum jum barrels, I eventually encountered the Jum Jum Thief and brought him to justice.Stage 2
I need to tell Deputy Kegie what happened.
Start: | Report to Deputy Kegie near the Lazy Drain in the Enchanted Lands. |

Complete: | Spoke with Deputy Kegie. |

I've updated Deputy Kegie on the situation with the Jum Jum Thief. After staking out several jum jum barrels, I caught the Jum Jum Thief sticky-handed and brought him to justice. Deputy Kegie appreciated my efforts but still refuses to leave the wagon in which he's been hiding. I wonder whether he's simply lost his mind or if there's something to his paranoia.
