As Joram Shadowstalker scanned the crowd he knew it was going to be a good day. There were a lot of nobles in attendance, and that would mean a lot of fat purses. My smiled as an exceptionally good mark strolled by him casually, completely unaware of Joram hiding in the shadows a few feet away. "Yes, today was going to be a good day indeed." Joram thought to himself, and he set about removing the fat purse from the noble as he walked by. With a deft twist of his wrist Joram snagged the purse as the noble kept on walking oblivious to the theft. Joram quickly stashed the purse inside one of his inner pockets as he continued to scan the crowd. The market was especially crowded today as the whole city was preparing for the king's wedding. Joram was preparing for something else. he had come to town on a mission. To round up a group and rob the king of his bridal gifts. This would be his retirement score. He had spent the past 20 years of his life becoming one of world's best rouges. He was 25 and already ready to call it quits. It was after all a fairly dangerous profession, but not one without its rewards. He had stashed away his fortune and the fruit of his lifes labors, and all he would need is this last job and then he would be able to get out the theiving profession forever, and live the good life owning a tavern in paradise springs on the southernmost coast of this continent. But this job would not be easy. He would need a good group of theives to hell him pull this off. With that thought Joram headed off through the crowd, picking an occasional purse and looking for anyone that might be another potential theif willing to work with him on this job, or a theif that he might be able to trust.
OOC: OK this is my first RP thread revisited. And i think that pretty much explains what it is about. A theif looking for other theives to help him on his one last job before he retires. This thread is open to all that are familiar with ad&d second addition rules, since those are the rules i would like this thread to abide by. I am looking not only for people to play fellow theives, but also people to play the guards and the head of the guards and basically people trying to stop joram. also a bounty hunter that comes from out of town looking for him could be a cool addition to the thread as well. please feel free to join in. NO UBERING EITHER!!!! THIS MEANS YOU!!!! Ok with that said enjoy.
A FEW CHANGES, FIRST OF ALL IN THE LAND WE ARE PLAYING IN MAGIC IS BANNED. THEREFORE ALL MAGICAL ITEMS, SPELLS, & ARTIFACTS ARE ILLEGAL, MAKING IT VERY HARD FOR THE PLAYERS TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT. I'm not going to say that there is NO magic allowed, just very very little, and if the characters get magical items and such then there are cowled wizard type people that WILL come to get them. Magical items can be obtained through 'black market' means, but this is risky, because you will be hunted by the cowled wizards, and in buying black market good you don't know who you can trust. Also I'm trying to work some suspense into the the thread so I don't really want to skip ahead in days this time. This thread is open to all, there will be characters for other theives, that want to join the party, the local theives guild and the town guards(this one might be filled). Above all just have fun. Welcome to the grand heist and enjoy [img]smile.gif[/img]
