"Indeed you do." he told me.
"And don't bother, it's locked." he added.
You successfully steal the item.
"I know you, and I just robbed you. Consider it revenge for your cowardly murder." I said, laughing the whole time.
*Forever is attacking you!* My my, I didn't expect that (lol).
"Ah yes, the usual." I told him as I began to move in the other direction. I was at full health, and armed, but no match for a crossbow against a foe with much more combat skill than I.
I began to run around the houses in the area attempting to get him to run in circles and enable me to enter his house - it worked. Minutes later I was safe inside his home and he was outside the door wondering what just happened. He entered a combat stance and hid.
2 treasure chests were laid upon the floor and 3 wooden boxes were atop small tables. I opened each of them reluctantly, skeptical about possible traps. Fortunetly none of them exploded in my face and I picked up all the boxes that had things of value within them. Unfortunetly, I was carrying too much weight and was unable to move. I quickly discarded items of small value until I was able to move once again. I opened the door and began to run. Naturally, he attacked me and persued.
The chase lasted well over 15 minutes. I had ran through the streets of Trinsic with arrows following me inching closer and closer to my back, twisting and turning at every corner like homing missiles. I began to consume healing potions in order to survive, but ran out of them quickly. I had to actually make potions while running away (using the 78 ginseng he conviniently had within one of his chests.) Finally I had escaped and combat had worn off. I attempted to find Forever and sell back his keys, but he was nowhere to be found. Quite a pity, what am I going to do with an empty house?
