noble... bullshit!
 
 
This Story takes place near Cove as the Napa Valley talk-show hosts were making their rounds.

I logged into my house to do some sparring with my pet polar bear to increase my fencing skills.  Just as I equipped my dagger I noticed my partner in crime, RICHARD BEY, log in.

"Wanna go do some slayin?", I asked?

"sure"

We get ready to do some player killing and recall off to one of our favorite hunting grounds, the Orc Fort.

After we killed about 3 guys, one named Nokia,  I decided to look into some of the bags of loot that I grabbed.  To my surprise I noticed 2 runes (marked Jhelom Bank and Vesper Peninsula)and a key labeled "Big STUD" inside one of the bags.

"dude recall, go back to the house", I quickly yelled to RICHARD.

Back at the house I handed him the bag, logged-out with JERRY, and logged back in with my brothers character Manian.  I asked for the bag, then told RICHARD I would "brb" after I checked the rune out.

As I arrive off the recall rune I notice the closest house was to the northwest.  I quickly run up to the door.  No Luck.  I head off to the next closest house to the east.  Just as I began running up to the door, it quickly opens. SWEEEEET!  I continue to run through Po something (I forgot his whole name) as I was at full stamina.  I see a house filled with crates, chests, thrones, cabinets.  I quickly hide and start pursing through some bags on the floor.  I grabbed some miscellaneous reagents as Po runs to his vendor to put his key away (good move on his part).  I was hidden too far from the door to close it on him, so he was able to walk back in before it shut.  Po soon begins chanting "In Flam Grav" and sets off fire fields all around me.  No big deal.  Manian's resist is in the 80's, so it wasn't doing much damage.  However, I finally decided these fire-fields were getting too annoying.

"Corp Por", I chanted, sending a bolt of energy into Po's body.  "Corp Por", I unleashed again on Po before he  had a chance to recover from the first bolt.

"Wuuuhhhhh", Po cried as he formed a crumpled heap on the ground.  I quickly loot his body of reagents, (the only thing of value on his corpse) and start looking through the cabinets.  I noticed two of the chests were locked, which I easily undid with the Magic Unlock spell.  I looted a full set of black plate-mail from one of the chests.  I began to get disappointed as I couldn't find anything else of real value, so I began moving the furniture out to the front lawn.  I got a Cabinet, 2 chests and a crate out there before I see Po return in death robes.  I open the door for him and he entered.  I tell him, "I'll leave if you pay me."  We sit in the 2 thrones and discuss the matter.  We agree upon 5k, and he asks me to bring his furniture back in the house.

"No-way", I say, "I'm not leaving this house until I get my cash, you bring it in."  He brings in the stuff, then starts asking for his reagents.  I give him 4 of each recall reagent, let him use the rune to Jhelom bank.  He persists in asking for his reagent pouch until I tell him, "I'm on a tight schedule.  If you don't get my cash now, I will start opening gates to Britain Bank in here."  He checks my title and says "noble" bullshit".   I laugh and reply, "complain to OSI about it, I don't make the titles."

He quickly returns with 5000 gold and places it outside the house.  I open the door and he comes in, I leave and take the cash straight to the bank.  I return to start checking houses, after all I still had the key on me.  After checking the whole region (in front of the city cove) I come upon a house, and the door opens up, it was unlocked.  Lo and behold I find Po and Nokia inside talking.  So I ask Nokia, "Did you lose a key named 'Big STUD?'"

"Yes. I was pked, and they took my stuff."

JACKPOT!!!  "Hey, I'll sell it to you for 3k."  Nokia agrees and asks for transportation to the bank.  I quickly chant the words for gate spell and we all arrive at Jhelom bank.  We exchange the goods, 3000 gold for the house key and his runes.  I put the cash in the bank, on top of the 5k I got from Po.

"Good day for you Manian", Po says.

I reply, "Yeah, not to bad. You know, you really shouldn't carry your house key while adventuring.   I'll see you around, or in your case, hopefully not." And I recalled away to share the good news with RICHARD.
