UO:Renaissance - Thieving perfected (ongoing thread)

Walking Britannia again!

It's always great when I can play again and find peoples all around!

Having to start somewhere I decide to get my houses set up. Recalling to Trinsic I find
Ariok the great polar bear rider standing on the roof ...
Old habits dies hard and before I have time to ponder my actions somethings catch my attention; lying inside his hidden bag:




After relieving him from his overburden I notice one of the runes labeled "house". Gold Key + rune to house !



Unfortunately they key would no fit any lock close to the area !

I do that all the time ... carry old keys and label a random rune "house" ...yet when i find one I cannot help it !!!
Next one will fit !

Ah the thrill... thanks for the reminder to visit...

Inspired by BlackEye.... I forgot to take screens during the initial grab. But this is what I ended up with.

Decided to sneak around Occlo, and found a boat key on a fellow, I believe Cedril (can't remember for sure).

Couldn't recall to it initially, had to jump to T2A first. Recalled onto boat, it was right next to a bunch of drakes. Hold was empty, unfortunately. Sailed it off to another part of land, and dry-docked it.

Thank you for the donation!

Much like FatMagic, I too forgot to screen shot. However, here is the tale:

Running around on my newb the fencer in Brittain, I saw someone sitting in front of a deserted bank with only a few guards as protection. I cleverly walked up took a peak at his belongings and noticed the following items:

1. Recal rune marked Brittain Bank
2. Recall rune marked "somewhere in Brittain"
3. Some playing cards
4. A gold key
5. Hundreds of reagents
6. Miscellaneous cloth

I couldn't believe my luck! I quickly grabbed my thief and made way to Brittain, hoping the mark didn't recall away before I arrived.

In luck! I ran up - in a blatant robbery, surrounded him in stone walls and grabbed playing cards, house key and his somewhere in Brittain rune.

As soon as I was able, I grabbed a blank rune and recalled to the mysterious spot.

Sure enough - it was the interior of a large fortress. Quietly I marked, unlocked the doors and returned to the bank. I then returned in disguise hoping I could spend some time perusing the house. I did.

I found about 20 bags filled with 125 dull copper shovels, 120 ish shadow shovels, 3 level 7 maps, one gem covered chair, one spider web covered chair, 10 ginch outfits. I was shaking with excitement.

I relieved the mysterious home owner of a few maps, his fancy chairs and a few shovels. And immediately recalled to the bank, only to find the mark still AFK (this was all in the course of 5 minutes).

As I was unloading my loot, and feeling a little guilty.... I noticed Bag Checker peaking into my marks belongings and thought: "well, it was either he or I... And I am glad it was I."

Hey sell alice a grinch outfit.

They are all for sale. Just find me on ICR or here.

Did you get all the shovels? Even without them, it's a very nice grab!

Nice to see new names pop up.

I believe it was rather silent in the thief community lately.
Nice to see new storys again =)

love,

I heard of many high value steals recently. Most dont make it into this thread as tales sadly. ;(

Thanks for looking out for me, El Horno! Erza was kind enough to sell me a grinch tunic yesterday so I'm all set. Otherwise... I definitely would have PMed von Stuben.

Always nice to see KoS doing a champ spawn. Result: 6 plats, ~6k in gems, many dead KoS, alot fun being undetected till the end.

A slow day had me scouring the dungeons for potential targets. Stark Lichend and his zombie-like follower spamming "all kill" were discovered at the Blood Elemental spawn. A quick search of his pack revealed a platinum coin. I "remembered" its location and backed off in order to mount my ethereal nightmare. As the pair appeared in my sights, I sprang from the shadows and swiped the coin as I sprinted by.

First Cupid Champ this year: A good place for thieves.

I will accept thee Thanksgiving present, Lady Love.

When I strode past the good knight Moto Kid, I took a moment to admire the war hammer in his hands. It all the tell-tale signs of strong magic, perhaps having been forged by the gods themselves.

I followed the knight as he was preparing for his next adventure, thumbing through runebooks to find fortunes untold... he didn't notice his weapon's secret admirer lounging in the shadows. His eyes grew large with excitement--he found his destination! The knight slipped the war hammer into his pack and waved farewell to dear friends, promising to return weighed down with gold.

A 10-stone war hammer is heavy, and though the knight looked strong, I'm sure he'd rather carry gold than wood and iron. Before he could call out the words that would take him to his destiny, I moved like quicksilver to take my prize and vanish into the trees. The last thing I heard was a confused voice asking "Kal Ort... Por?", and then, he was gone.

If nothing else, I'm a helper.

This is, by far, my favorite thread to read on here.

HYPE TRAIN!

When I saw the good knight @Jared Trouble headed for the Occlo moongate, I took him in as a sight of bravery and virtue. Such strength! Such armor! Such a weapon!

...such a weapon, indeed.

Armor is made for the clash of steel (or valorite, if you're fairly well-to-do), but this is no concern for a wrestler such as I! My horse strode up to Sir Trouble, and I wanted to wish him well, that his axe would strike true, and that he would find riches untold.

Instead, I said, "look, a bird!", punched him in the stomach, wrestled the axe from his hands, and ran like several Balrons who've had an especially bad day were on my tail.

Out of breath, my horse skidded to a stop and we found some cover in the brush beneath a mighty oak tree. I had only a single thought:

"How the hell am I going to get this home without the guards seeing me?"
