Why did Vodalus risk...?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I have a question for you guys, and hopefully you can offer me some insight
here.  I am on my umpteenth reread of TSotT, and I only just realized what a
great risk Vodalus takes when he, Hildegrin, and Thea rob the grave in the
necropolis.  My next thought was: Why would he take such a risk?  Or, for
Whom?  Whose corpse did they take?  Obviously, they wanted a particular
person's body, or else why would they go so far out of their way and (again)
take such a risk?  And does Thea's presence there indicate anything?
Perhaps a member of her family was their target.  Why else would she tag
along on such a dangerous mission?  Couldn't possibly be Thecla's body, as
that was my first thought. Sorry, but this is driving me up the wall!
Thanks to all in advance.  If I come up with a good theory on the subject, I
will post it, but so far I have nothing.
