The Interior Liberation
 
 
This story begins just south of Moonglow.
 
I was heading back from the Moonglow Graveyard with the last spoils of the day.  Eager to make the last bank run and head to the inn, I notice something unusual. I see a fellow named L.SOPP dressed in a black robe with a red cape. He crosses my path and makes his way through the brush. For the direction he was heading, he was either going to go fishing or to his house. I start to follow him keeping my distance from him.

Three of four screens later, he stops in front of a house. He doesn't do anything yet because of my presence. I take two steps east like I have somewhere else to go and he opens the door!  I make a run for it but a few bushes block my direct path. I make it to the doorstep in time to watch the door slam on my face.

"Oh well", I think to myself, "I'm tired anyway."

Im about to walk away when I decide I better hang out for a while. Never underestimate the stupidity of others... I hide two steps away from the door and wait.  About five minutes later I figure that no one is THIS stupid. I'm about to come out of hiding and walk away when THE DOOR OPENS!

I immediately run in pushing "Refeal" out of the way. No one is inside, L.SOPP must've logged out. I try to pick up a chest in the middle of the room but it drops back down to the floor...too heavy. I dart towards a crate when Refeal says "Hi."

"Greetings.", I reply as I pick up the crate.

"No loot!, No loot!", Refeal immediately begins babbling.

I open the chest in the middle of the room and am glad I couldn't carry it. It had about one hundred ghost robes and other junk. What is up with that? I keep clothes in my house too but only two or three of each type of clothing so I can change my look when I need to. But one hundred ghost robes? *sigh*

I bring up her paperdoll at this point to see what she's got. Great Lady Refeal, Grandmaster Warrior and wearing magic plate. I feel a bit worried for my life as I snoop her. She's loaded with goodies but the key is right there. I grab the key as she continues to beg for the crate back. I don't think she noticed. Expecting a fight soon I make my way for the door. I wasn't going to let greed get to me this time. I got the key and some loot I can always come back later...

"Thanks for the house warming gifts..." I say as I run out the door and take a few steps away from the house.  I was not pursued by her, so I walk away from the house and hide about a screen away to check out my loot. Now I must say, for someone of that status not to attack a rogue looting your house is some serious cowardice. If it were up to me people like that should not be worthy of such a status. Well, the rep system is in now so none of this matters now.

I open the crate and what do I see before my eyes? I see about 10 or 12 magic weapons of every sort. Pleased with the outcome I run back to the bank to ID. The weapons ranged from Ruin to Power and this score was definitely going to pay the bills for a while.

Now a tip for everyone at home reading this...Never open your door when you watched some guy run up to your door and hide. And always inform anyone in the house that there is a guy hidden outside.  Peoples stupidity will never cease to amaze you...
