Type: Bad

Client:
Remy Martello: Martin's younger brother, acting as a voice of reason during the man's violent outbursts. He wants to do his best to support his brother, and will do whatever he can to please him. While a bit of a yes-man, Remy serves as an advisor to his brother, his plans often accounting for much of Martin's success.
Summary: Remy Martello wants to help his brother achieve further success by having you rig a silent auction set to be held in Oak City today. Go to the auction, stealthily changing the values of the items that the crew will be auctioning off, that way Remy can score the most valuable items cheaper and not have to risk bidding against the other wealthier bidders.
Enemies: None
Objective: Infiltrate the auction set to take place in Oak City, switching the values between the most and least valuable items, enabling Remy Martello to walk away with the greatest potential gain.
Extra Rewards: None
Details:
Create a topic in the Majura Gallery.
You'll find Remy Martello there, waiting for a special auction to take place in a short amount of time.
He'll inform you that there are a number of priceless pieces of art set to be auctioned off, along with a large amount of items worth relatively little.
Rather than wishing to spend too much or having to bid against others with more wealth, he proposes that you do a bit of auction tampering so he can maximize what money he brought with him.
He informs you that everything for auction is being held in a backroom, with only the auction numbers attached to each item. He'll ask that you go into the back, switching some of the values of the most expensive pieces with those of the lowest.
Provided with an auction catalog that Remy has already gone through, listing out what's valuable and what isn't, you're to sneak into the backroom past security and switch the numbers.
Once you make it in the back, you'll notice that there are far more art than what the auction has listed, which means that there are more auction values that you will have to go through and compare against.
Through your searching, switch the auction values between two of the pieces that Remy has marked as high with two that he has marked at low value.
Before you can switch the third value, two men will enter inside the backroom to remove an item that has just been sold. Make sure that they do not detect you while you are there.
This process will repeat two more times.
The third time the two men arrive, you may either remain hidden or otherwise show yourself to them, claiming that you got lost looking for the restroom.
In either event, you'll leave the backroom and will wait around for a short time until the auction eventually ends.
Remy will be among one of the first people to leave, telling you of the good fortune that he had, most of the items that he won being the more expensive pieces.
He'll thank you for your assistance, giving you the remainder of the money that he was worried he would have had to spend as a reward.
Oak town, the place that just keeps on giving. Hassan wondered when exactly he was going to skip town for good and head off to the next destination. However, he believed that he needed a heck of a lot of money in order to fend for himself properly. Therefore, until he feels as if he strikes gold, Hassan was going to head off and do a lot more jobs. In order to do so, he had to utilize all factors of getting something to do with his particular skill sets. Hassan had nothing against the martello family, he would even say that he had a bunch of his experience from them. However, the reason that he did keep himself apart from the martello family was due to the fact that he killed some of their hitmen in order to extend the life of a peasant boy who heard something they shouldn't have. It has been some time since he was around them, so Hassan figured that he was in the clear when he arrived at the gallery.
"Remy Martello?"
Hassan said this to himself, mumbling the name of the man that was going to participate in the auction today. This was definitely a surprise to Hassan.
