Well, this story starts off with me trying to become sober from the 30 beers I drank last night in Ultima. Well, since my character just would not become sober, I decided to pull my thief, Dr. Kevorkian, out of the cobwebs and go wreak some havoc at the Britain mining cave. Well, after hauling my ass up there, I went in and saw the usual miners harassing each other and such. And then a grey fellow came by, and I wanted to see how good I am with a kryss (I use war forks mostly) and well, in one hit, I could see I was pretty good. So I chase the grey guy outside and he's got 2 other people on him. Finally, the snow lags me to the point that I quit on him and I see a house door open to a private home. BINGO!

As I'm running towards the door, I slide in and for some reason, the guy keeps the door open for a few more seconds and soon 2 other people are trying to get in. Well, he bans them while I'm hidden, and I just sit there chuckling to myself. I try to pick up the closest things to me:723 dull copper ingots and 6000 something silver ingots. Being the idiot that I am, I try to pick the 6000 all up at once so I start taking 500 intervals. Anyway, after he realizes his silver ingots are disappearing by the 500's, he picks them up, so I nab all of the dull copper ones(I got 2500 of the silver ingots). Then, I start searching in some other bags while he just sits there. OOH REGS! I try to pick up 370 pearl and am dismayed to find "That container cannot hold any more weight" with my 99 str. (Note: I came with about 75 stones on me which consisted of my spellbook, like 40 regs in all, a set of bone, and a kryss.) Seeing I can't grab all these regs, I take 50 root and 50 pearl before he takes that bag up. Now I have nothing to look through!

Now he finally realizes that he's got the guts to take me on. He reveals, I hide. This goes on 4 more times. So he logs out and his other character is right next to the house. Now I am angry, because this is the house of someone I'm at friendly war with(Friendly war is when you fight the opposite guild's members only if both to agree to it and there is no looting.) Well, I say "Kain!? You own this house!?" and he says "Give me my stuff back now." I sit there and tell him who it is once and I say "Aw damnit! Now I have to give this all back!" So I think...hmm I'm at war with this guy and I told him who I am!? So I make up this bullshit excuse that I'm Parappa from EoV(Gay guild on Atlantic).......Then I wait for about 10 seconds and he equips his sword to attack me. Bad move considering I am a master fencer with a GM kryss,100 dex, and greater poison on the kryss. He is instantly hurt and poisoned. For a while, the battle consists of me bringing him to half life and him guzzling a cure potion and then a greater heal. Now my thief uses the heal spell in combat VERY rarely, because I only have 56.0 magery and I might fizzle hehe. Anyway I notice this isn't going to end and "Why bother losing all of this good stuff?" so I run out the door and hide. He forgets about me and I recall....Fizzle, recall again, and I'm at the Britain smithy(I find this very ironic because in the reg bag, there was a rune to Britain...and Since I hadn't brought mine...oh well you take a guess :) ) I recall home and its a VERY happy ending after I dump all the shit in its proper containers.

Moral of the Story: Don't leave your door open for about 10 seconds. And also, after someone tells you he's going to give your stuff back, don't attack him, because he just might hurt you AND get away, not to mention gain him as an enemy.
