    This solo task begins with Murderous Mal, who is located at about -25, 2970 on the island of Jardel's Hook in the Buried Sea.

    You say, 'Hail, Murderous Mal'

    Murderous Mal says 'Hello. I'm Mal. Welcome to my place of business, friend. Now, I don't know that I can sell you any of my products. You see I'm really only allowed to sell to my brothers of the Blacksail. But I suppose if you're discrete then I might have a thing or two of interest to you. At the same time you might have [some things] of use to me as well.'

    You say, 'Some things?'

    Murderous Mal says 'Well, not things, exactly, more like skills. Ya see I have a lot of trouble with the locals here, my sworn brothers and sisters. I'm not exactly the most dangerous pirate to ever join the Blacksail. Never you mind the name they've given me, they did that to tease me. Pirates aren't known for their overwhelming respect for others, you know. But I know how to run a business and they need me for some things. Maybe you can help me with [some tasks] that I can't do on my own right now, I have to stay here and watch over my goods.'

    You say, 'Some tasks?'

    Murderous Mal says 'Ay, I have a few things that need doing.'

    You are offered three tasks, one of which is 'Thieves Among Thieves'.

    You have been assigned the task 'Thieves Among Thieves'.

    Mal has asked you to recover some stolen goods for him, and reluctantly asked you to make an example of those that took them.

    1. Loot 1 Crate of Goods 0/1 The Buried Sea

    Crate of Goods is a rare drop off any Blacksail.

    2. Deliver 1 Crate of Goods to Murderous Mal 0/1 The Buried Sea

    You have set an example for those that might try to steal from Murderous Mal, but even now you sense that the threat will fade as people remember Mal's soft demeanor.

    Your faction standing with Blacksail Smugglers has been adjusted by 15.

    Reward Option #1:
    Experience, Faction with Blacksail Smugglers, and a Hand-Slot augmentation called "Jonas Dagmire's Pisiform" (5hp, 5mana, 5end, 5dex)

    Reward Option #2:
    Experience, Faction with Blacksail Smugglers, and 75pp

    Add " a Blacksail captain" (troll) to the list of mobs dropping the crate of goods. He was on the back side of Jardell's Hook where the ruins are. He also dropped an I.O.U. Note for one of Darius Blythe's tasks.

    Done this quest 5+ times, each time the crate of good droped from a different pirate. So safe to say the drops were random. I was on the main island with all the quest givers and the pirate merchant.
