"No sir." I replied.

"Ok... just making sure, don't worry I won't kill you." he assured me.

    I quickly stood casually by and peeked into his backpack and noticed a ring of keys, but I wasn't prepared to steal it from him without first knowing where the house was.  Besides... he had no reason to believe I was a thief.

"Can you make plate?" I asked.

"No I'm not a smith, just mining for strength." he said.

"Oh I see, so you own a forge near here I suppose?" I asked.

"Yea I do, it's right outside."

"Which one?"

"Follow me."

    He began playing leapfrog with 40 or 50 pieces of ore and headed toward his house.  Once I saw he was at the doorstep I stood on the steps next to him.  I started checking out the vendors for some plate I could buy (since I'm too evil to buy stuff from storekeepers.)

"Can you move away please?" he asked.

"Oh, sorry." I said as I stepped a few feet away from the steps.

"Sorry man, but it's kinda belongs to my guild too and they might get mad." he told me.

    He began to move toward the door preparing to unlock it.  I had learned all I needed to know and decided to make my move.  I walked past him stopping for a split second to grab his keys from his bag.  I paused a few feet from the house to see his reaction.  He didn't notice me stealing the keys, but he sure noticed that they were no long in his backpack.

"Hey, what the hell?  Hey give back my keys!" he yelled.

"Keys?  I have no keys sir." I lied.

"You must have taken them, I had them in the mine and no one else was here."

"Wow sir, thou'rt quite brilliant.  I do have thy keys.  Would you like them back?" I said.

"Yes, give them please my guild will get mad." he begged.

"Very well, but you'll have to catch me." I said as I began to run in the opposite direction.

    He chased me then I doubled back and ran into the house, locking the door behind me to inspect the area.  There was absouletely nothing of value upon the floor or within the few chests inside.  I stepped out of the house and began to speak to him.

"This is a real pathetic house, don't you keep treasure here?" I said.

    I noticed that there was more than 1 key on the key ring, and that one of the other keys unlocked a house next to the forge... a house with tons of chests inside.  I decided to make my move after he started talking again.

"Please don't steal the keys give them back please." he begged once again.

"Do not worry, they will be returned.  Soon as I inspect the contents of the adjacent house!"

    I ran into the other house and locked the door.  Anxious and excited by the sight of 5 or 6 treasure chests, I quickly began to open them.  The heaviest chest was heavy because of the tens of millions of bags and backpacks that were inside of it, things with no use to me or the members of the guild.  After a scan of the other boxes I concluded that this house was really full of crap.  I opened the door and stepped out.

"I don't mean to offend you or your guild, but this guildhouse is full of junk.  You can have the keys back." I said, then threw the keys on the floor.

    He picked them up and thanked me graciously.  I moved near him to get another snoop in and see if I could get something else of value so my whole trip wouldn't be in vain.  I was about to check when I noticed words of power appear above his head.  "An Ex Por".  Gee, I wonder what that does.  Quickly I hid, snooped his pack, and stole back his keys.

"Bastard, I had returned your keys and stolen nothing from your homes.  This is how you repay me?" I said angrily.

"Sorry, please give them back I won't do it again.  It was an accident." he said, and lied.

"This time it will not be so simple.  As an exchange for my keys, I will ask you to strip down to thine undies and hand me your armor."

"No, please, it's magic I can't give it up." he said.  I inspected his armor and noticed that only his helmet was magic, the rest was normal plate.

"Why do you lie?  All of your armor is normal except for your helmet."

"Ok fine I'll trade, let me keep my helmet though please."

"Very well, proceed." I said.

    I handed him the keys and he handed me all his armor (in a secure trading window of course.)  No sooner after the deal was complete did 3 people recall in.  Two being unarmed women in dresses and the other one being a mage armed with a halberd.

"Who is it?" said one of the women.

"That's him, right there." said Raybauone.  (Hmmm, I wonder which "him" he was referring to.)

    I assumed that the him he was referring to was me, because seconds after he said that sentence spells began to be loaded by his comrades.  I ran half a screen away and hid myself.  This will not be forgiven, I will take his keys and not return them.  After they had spread out and used tracking to attempt to locate me, I ran up to Raybauone to steal the keys.  He noticed what I was doing and ran to the door.  He handed the keys to one of the ladies because I didn't see it in his bag the second time I snooped.  I was enraged.

"You're gonna die thief!" one of them yelled.

    Raybauone chased after me with "An Ex Por" above his head, when I was about a screen away I turned around and ran past him to the guildhouse and hid between both ladies.  They obviously didn't notice me because they didn't move an inch.  I quickly snooped them both and found which one had the keys on her.  I grabbed them from her bag and began to run off.

"Farewell friends, you are quite pathetic hunters." I yelled back to them as I made my way to Trinsic, laughing the whole time.
