I found myself a new life living in the alleys with all the little bit of food
I could find and gutter water... It was not pleasant to be sure. And it
was then that I remembered the work that I did on the coffers of the
monastery and it gave me and idea. I set out to find a house to burglarize.
I got as far as the front door when I was grabbed and dragged inside as
it seems I had tried to rob the manor house of one of the high ranking
members of the Thieves Guild. I was laughed at because of my elementary
style of going about things but eventually he gave me an offer to join
considering I was not perhaps half bad after all and might work as a
pick pocket. I went about my work merrily having many adventures and such
I grew strong in the guild and quickly became quite good and respected
within its walls. I worked by day and night all the same. At times even stealing
a couple streets away from the Justice patrols. Here I will include one anecdote
from my life...
It worked like this I had been harassing and stealing from a pair of Dark-Knights. I was doing pretty well and taking many things. However a Justice came along and immediately one of the Dark-Knights challenged me to a duel Addreodyn presiding. In anycase I accepted, dueling laws being less strict back then, and I was promptly informed by the Dark-Knight that I was about to see things I had never seen before and I informed him that indeed I had never seen myself kill a Dark-Knight in a duel to the Verbal Submission. All went well I knocked him over his head took his weapons and had him stunned in no time. There was only one problem... It seemed he was starving to death. At this point I was laughing and rolling about on the floor at the irony of the thing. Eventually Addreodyn ruled that I should finish the job because it was in the Dark-Knights best interest and I did so. Well thats that and I had many such adventurers. However at some point my life changed. It was on a day that a certain Avian Invoker Lavan by name decided I need to catch fire, faerie flames and real of course. I ran to Market Square and waited. He came along and I was ready and whapped him on the head quite squarely. I set about taking his possessions rings, light, sack, weapons, bracers. I prefer to take everything as killing is not always my first choice. I got right up to taking the floating thing when he woke up and yelled out and the Justices started yelling "Guards! Guards!" I ran to the east gate and hid on top of it and for some reason that I cannot remember came out for a moment. However before the Justices reached me I realized my error and hid again and set myself up outside the south gate. There I was assaulted by a fellow halfling and thief who in fact lost the battle and I got away with a new Withering Scythe among other things. From there I ran to the Lush Valley to wait out and attempt to bribe Talasia. If you have ever tried to bribe the Justice it doesn't work they are all too ungreedy they could have been a bunch of monks. Well Addreodyn tracked me down probably with that thief's help and slew me returning all my things happily. It was at that point that I realized that my line of work was not perhaps the safest and maybe it would be good to find something else to do and work as a thief more part time or as a fence. So I began looking around for somewhere to sign up for a new job. My choices were quite limited so I finally settled on Herald because I knew how to write and read because of my upbringing in the monastery. I sent in my application and lo and behold there I was a Herald along with my good friend Salvan may he rest in peace. I set about doing all I could to work my way up and make the most of my situation. I came up with the idea for "Ask Keeb," and there we go I was up and running with my new job. From there on out I worked hard setting about becoming the highest in my guild rank and working and having fun being a Herald. I wrote many articles and they all gave me great satisfaction. Eventually I became High Herald and that is where we are now. Continued in 'storyC' |
