(urth) Why did Vodalus risk...?

[aaron]

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.
