If anyone else has done this, please let me know. However, from what I could find on the net, no one else has done this.

When you are in the dungeon in that one guy's basement to get to the tomb of his brother for the boots, it turns out that the boots are not in the tomb. Awesome... Then you kill the guy, and it turns out that he has the boots on him.

But my question is about the diary in the tomb. If you pick it up from the tomb it tells you that there was a diary and that's just about it. Needless to say, most people just run right back to the grey fox to give him the boots and get their 500 gold... Well, I guess I'm just crazy, but I dropped the diary as it's no considered a quest item (that was actually on accident, but I'd have never stumbled upon this if it weren't so). When going to pick it up again, it gives you a message that it normally doesn't if you read it through your inventory.

After that message has popped up, you, all of the sudden, have a new topic to ask the gray fox about. The diary talks about the master thief being a vampire and having another master thief friend (hinting at the Gray Fox). You ask Grey Fox about it and he basically explains 'his' whole past. As soon as he's done talking about it, he doesn't let you talk to him anymore... It says, 'I need to think' or something and because of this, I cannot complete the quest.

Now, I'm not sure if he's gonna come to me with some special proposition soon or what, but I cannot sell, drop, or do anything with the quest boots aside from wear them... It's kind of annoying and possibly a bug, because no one else (not even testers) were dumb enough to drop the diary and pick it back up again... Weird.

If anyone knows anything about this, let me know.

when he says he needs to think he is planning the next event in the ultimate heist...if you still have the boots thats a little weird, he normally takes them, along with the arrow if youve gotten that yet...but you get to use both of them in the next quest for the TG....just hang out for a few more days and fence some more stuff...eventually someone should contact you for the gray fox....if no one does, then i guess u should have a backup save to revert to...or someone can tell u how to use the console to force the quest..(dont know much bout the console myself)
