Also, I thought the full text from day eight was quite funny and worthy of recording:

This particular Cobrall Dagger has a tiny symbol etched into its hilt, showing it belongs to a member of the Dagger Clan. What's perhaps even more telling is that it's been dropped beside a set of footprints... underneath which is another set of footprints that head out into the open, where anyone could have spotted their owner. You're no expert, but ever since you read Scouting For Korbats, you've known how to tell the age of tracks, and it's pretty clear.

The only sensible conclusion is: The guild that used invisibility committed the theft one hour before the Dagger Clan.

Ending text

The ending text was different depending on which crime you had to solve for. As gleaned from the Neoboards, they were:

It was the Pyramid Prowlers who drank invisibility potions, slipped into the palace, and stole the Illuminated Menuscript from King Skarl's unconscious grasp at midnight. The Meridell royal kitchens are most grateful for the item's return. It keeps Skarl happy.

It was the Dagger Clan who used a cunning distraction to steal Queen Nabile's Wedding Ring at 1:00 a.m. King Jazan was most displeased to learn of their antics. They were quite willing to accept Sakhmetian justice instead of facing him.

It was the Oasis Runners who stole the Royal Telescope from King Altador's desk drawer for their own black market schemes, using a clever disguise at the late hour of 2:00 a.m. Too bad they had no idea how to operate the delicate instrument.

The Hand of the Anubis, no doubt intending to add to their pretention, stole the Grand Speech Scroll from Princess Amira herself. Since they slipped in via the sewers, it was a wonder she did not wake from the stench, but then, it was 3:00 a.m.

The scrappy Desert Scarabs pulled off a Pocket Chess heist without King Hagan being any the wiser. All it took was a little coin to bribe the guards and good timing; they struck at 4:00 a.m. while King Hagan was sound asleep, dreaming of brilliant chess stratagems.

It was the mysterious Sun Chasers who stole the Magical Blue Amulet from sweet Princess Lunara. Their motives are as opaque as their origins, but it's clear they climbed the palace walls to enter her room at 5:00 a.m. and commit their crime.

Princess Amira will see to it that the thieves are punished in accordance with the ancient laws of Sakhmet. She'll have to look it up, but Baggusses are probably involved.
