Desert Diplomacy Plot Guide

Evidence

It looks like trouble is brewing in Sakhmet, with all of the main Neopian rulers invited by Princess Amira to a meeting, someone has crept into the palace and stolen items from each of the distinguished guests.

Each day a new clue will be released to help you determine who stole each item.

It seems that it doesn't matter which option you choose when trying to get the clue, with each option resulting in the character giving up their clue.
