You Can't Keep Your Balance! (41-50)
You've been having trouble keeping your balance today, and so have some other citizens. What's going on underground?
Local seismologists are already tracking the tremors, but have no explanation. Rumors are circulating that the Devouring Earth and Circle of Thorns have gotten embroiled in an underground turf war. The Devouring Earth is planning on collapsing some of the Oranbegan ruins which house precious Circle artifacts in escalation. Their tunneling is causing the small tremors. Unfortunately, the final detonation might destabilize a small section of the city above ground, causing utility outages and other accidents.
The Circle will be rushing to move their buried artifacts to safety before the Devouring Earth finish their plans.
The safety of the city demands that you confront the Devouring Earth and put a stop to the demolition of the tunnels before anyone gets hurt.
On the other hand, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of folks than the Circle of Thorns. In the confusion, you might be able to sneak into the endangered tunnels and secure their artifacts while the Circle tries to evacuate.

Briefing
There's no point in sticking your nose into the squabbles of two villain groups. If they destroy each other, great. You realize that you can take advantage of the confusion to gain access to the Circle of Thorns' protected artifacts.
The Circle is already evacuating the affected section of their lair, and the artifacts in that section are mighty vulnerable. Getting them out of the hands of the Circle would compound the damage done when they lose a section of their ruins to the Devouring Earth. This is a plan you like.
The tunnels are so far below the surface that the repercussions topside are likely to be minimal at best, and passing up the opportunity to cripple the Circle is hardly worth it.
Secure the Circle's dangerous artifacts while they evacuate.
