How to steal from Iolfr's chest undetected?

[Azalore]

Hey, I was wondering if there's a way to grab the item from the chest without stealing it. So far I've tried fireworks to get the Iolfr's attention somewhere else, but well it worked before in similar situations, but not this time. Is it even possible?

You mean without getting caught? Easiest way is the use the key from the back of his shop, hide in the southeast corner while he checks the chest, then creep up the right side as he moves back, until about 5 ft away. Unlock and loot, using normal walk speed and judicious pausing. Just did it with 1 Stealth Ydwin.

There's a key? Wow, I was wasting thief's putty... Gonna try that! Thanks

EDIT: Where's the key? Can't find it...

You need additional perception then. It's in a secret stash.

Thanks guys. Indeed. 29 perception is enough for the stash - same deal with the stash in The Dark Cupboard.
Cheers!
