UO:Renaissance - Thieving perfected (ongoing thread)

The green skull. Skull of Venom; champ skull.

And there I was wondering around grim a helpless young lady looking for a friendly dire wolf to call my own when I saw a mysterious blue gate! Alas I could not resist myself, invis and gate jumped seeing what mystical place might be on the other side. OMG such a dangerous place it was to the inside of the Saints Patio!!! I was so scared but I did not scream.... Still hid surrounded by not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4! Thats right 4 saints! I decided to risk my life and open a gate to town while lifting this HEAVY chest that was not secured with me.... One saint followed me through and you could see his displeasure...

After a few tavern snacks, I made my way to Cupid the other night to see how he was fairing against the armies of dragons being set against him. Despite his bad rap, I have a soft spot in my heart for the guy. - he's my second cousin once removed, and i rarely get to see him.

Upon arrival, I see archers and dragons just hammering away at him, while he's trapped behind a fence. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. One fella in particular had been at it for quite a while. I was heart breaking, so to distract myself, i drunkenly went through a couple of bags, stole a few coin from those distracted by the fights.



The moment Cupid died, i was rummaging though the bag of the fella I was talking about earlier - Hugh something, and i noticed that a strange pink bow had made it's way into his bag. I though to myself, that sure it pretty - i wonder where it came from? He doesn't look like he needs it.

I grabbed it and sauntered off, while he tried to pick up the gold falling from Cupids corpse.

Imagine my surprise when I took a closer look at this and found it to be the runic cupid bow - can't wait to get this back to my cousin.

Nice grab.

Was it Hugh Jass?

Aye, that may have been the lads name! Do you know him? It is my understanding that this may be an alias however, and he may be better known in these here parts by somethign along the lines of Matty Fike.

Someone's going to be unhappy when they come back from being AFK...

Unhappy? You cleaned up all our junk. Thank you.

In all seriousness, well played. I'd do the same if I came across an unlocked tower so I don't take it personal at all. Going half retard from time to time is a prerequisit for playing UO.

I think the most valuable items you got were a couple thousand of each reg and some stone tables?

I heard it was a little better than that, mate.

not pictured a holiday coloured ornate chest

Mostly junk with some decent valued items mixed in. A solid cleanse. If that were an idoc, it’d all be cub’d.

This is the kind of gloating that keeps me coming back to this thread!

So, here's what happened. I was minding my own business. I saw "of Bones" by the Occlo bank and decided to mind his business instead of mine.

It was a normal tour-de-backpack, but with a compelling chest hidden away. I looked. I listened. I decided to peek inside.

And then this happened:



The carnage (I'm only hidden because I came back for the screeny):


Here's what I found when I came back to our two lifeless husks (after safe relocation):


And Mr. "of Bones" didn't event stop to say thank you for helping him with the impromptu security assessment (we chatted afterwards, nice guy).

/edit: Turns out the explosion only blew me up, Mr. of Bones did himself in by accident another way. Either way, 10/10 would blow up again.

You’re a damn dirty rotten scoundrel.

The very generous hospitality of these homeowners has left me feeling charmed.

holy shit! is that 6th anni spell book?

Somebody got filthy rich here. Mind me asking how that happened?

Really nice haul. Someone gona be unhappy when they login.

He will be logged in for the last time today

God damn.
That’s the highest value burglary I’ve seen here in a lonnnnnnnnng time! Lock it or lose it people!!!

I think we all want to hear the story behind this haul.
