Paul Dean 50 Wondrous items You’ve never heard of these? I suppose I can dive a little deeper and tell you what I know. Most of the items I have here were donated by a member of the guild, you’ll not likely find many of these out on the streets anymore. Only here. On common test to join the guild is to steal a wondrous item. An identifying name is added to signal who the thief was. Of course, most of these names are pseudonyms. Some are even the name of the unlucky target or local nobles or merchants. That way if the Watch ever gets their hands on this list, they’d have to accuse half the city to round up just a handful of our brothers and sisters. Lookouts helped in the acquisition of the artifact, often choosing the target, but credit still goes to the thief who provided for the Guild.

Paul Dean 70 Chapter 5: The Library It’s my experience that illiterate thieves are no less savvy than their literate siblings. All too often people publicize their wealth in ways that require no literacy. While no Noble would write “I have a great deal of wealth” on their capes, the cut and quality of the cape says far more than words ever could. Keep this one thing in mind and it’ll help you evaluate what books are worth stealing and which are worth leaving on the shelf: Always judge a book by its cover. d6 Binding Value 1 Loose pages -50% 2 Stitched, no cover -25% 3 Soft Cover - 4 Leather Bound +25% 5 Hard Back +50% 6 Hard Back, platinum clasp +200% d12 Language 1 Common 2 Elven 3 Dwarven 4 Halfling 5 Gnomish 6 Orcish 7 Draconic 8 Infernal 9 Sylvan 10 Undercommon 11 Celestial 12 Abyssal d6 Length Cost 1 10 Pages 15 gp 2 25 pages 30 gp 3 50 pages 50 gp 4 100 pages 150 gp 5 250 pages 400 gp 6 500 pages 750 gp d6 Quality Cost 1 Awful -50% 2 Poor -25% 3 Average - 4 Good +10% 5 Great +25% 6 Perfect +50% d4 Age Cost 1 Out of Date -50% 2 Recent -10% 3 Current - 4 Ancient +200%

Paul Dean 72 1: Kordas’ Fallacy: Master Kordas caught the imagination of Wizards the world over. He spent most of his life demonstrating spells other Wizards could not cast, giving rapturous lectures, and challenging the way other Wizards approach the arcane world. Master Kordas passed away in a sudden, seemingly random magical conflagration. Other Archmagi soon poured over his notes, spell books, and other paraphernalia only to discover that Kordas was not a Wizard at all, but a Sorcerer. 2: Pursuing Harmony: This racy book tells the tale of an adventurer’s illicit affair with Harmony, the housemaid of his employer. Apparently he would shower her with gifts he gathered on his many travels. After bringing back a particularly powerful artifact for his employer, Harmony slept with the adventurer and then snuck away with the artifact while he slept. Digging deeper, Harmony was an agent for a shadowy organization looking to conquer the world. He’s been chasing her ever since. 3: Perrelli’s Potions & Poultices: Though not always mutually exclusive, this book was written by either a madman or a fraudster. It details a number of different types of potions, salves, and remedies to cure everything from baldness to death and animating the inanimate. Perrelli also mentions a few anecdotes from his time as a physiker. 4: Farah’s Many Animal Forms: Born to a tribe of animal worshipers, Farah details her experience in many different animal forms and coming to terms with her place in the tribe as a Druid. 5: Ms. Michael’s Instructions for Discerning Ladies: The seminal book on proper behavior at just about any social event. Ms. Michael, a long-time etiquette instructor to the muckety mucks, shares her knowledge with the unwashed masses. Of course, many of the precepts taught in this book needed to be changed once it was published as they no longer signaled a high-born sensibility. 6:Losers, Pretenders & Scoundrels: The lives of many of the well known and often despised figures of history. Would-be Kings, Conmen, and Rogues fill the book. While the author doesn’t explain in great detail any sort of lesson that may be learned from the story, it is an entertaining way to wile away an afternoon. 7: Fey Circles: A detailed account of the courts of the Fey. In the opening sentence the author makes clear that they have never encountered any Fey themselves, nor visited their homes, but insists that the content of the book is written “on good authority”. 8: Thief of Time: The story of a thief who made a deal with Death himself. In exchange for a longer life, the thief would work for Death to shorten the lives of his fellow men by provoking a war with another kingdom. 9: Dragons and their Domiciles: A book of the dragons of the world, where they may be found, and what they often tend to hoard. The author has this as a first hand account from an invisible dragon who burned down the author’s home. This knowledge was given to the author as a sort of apology. He has made back far more than he lost in the blaze, what with all the would-be adventurers purchasing the book. 10: Undead – The Ultimate Field Guide: Filled with undead creatures and their origins, this book might serve better as a means of scaring children than informing adventurers. After a while reading, the content seems to get awfully repetitive. Shades, Shadows, and Specters all seem to blend together. Ghouls and Ghasts might as well be the same thing. Every creature in it is killed with a steak through the heart. No, not stake - steak. 11: Sign of the Times: A book of prophesy and dark poetry. This book was written by a man locked in a solitary cell for the last ten years of his life. Ink and paper were his one luxury. When he died, his entire cell was filled with these pages, many of which had come true before he died (though his jailers were unaware of the prophesies and he was unaware of their fulfillment). One particular prophesy is underlined: A red sun rises, a red sun sets. When the Salmon devours the Bear, the merchant shall rule over kings. 12: A Treasury of Prose and Verse: A collection of the written word. Both poems and excerpts from books may be found in this. The one who compiled it includes a few of their own thoughts on the pieces, describing them as some of the wisest or most moving examples of literature in this or any age.

Tessa’s Guide to Pickpocketing and Pilfering 73 13: Beginnings: A religious examination of the origins of the gods. The language is so cloaked in imagery and metaphor it’s difficult to determine where genuine religious belief begins and flowery exposition ends. 14: Monstrous Cookbook: About 50 recipes for cooking some of the more obscure and dangerous creatures of the world. Were-ratatouille, Basilisk Burgers, Grilled Griffon, Slaad Salad, and Dragon Drumsticks are among them. 15: Republic of Rogues: Describing the inner workings of a thieves guild, this book hides enough of the author’s identity to not be tracked down by every guild on the continent. No one has been executed or captured because of this book, but a number of guilds attribute hard times to its publication. Some have altered their cant in a paranoid attempt to throw the Watch off their trail. 16: Kingdom Children: This book details the local Nobility, particularly young nobles, and the atrocities committed against the common folk in an attempt to claw more power and influence. From entire wars or famines caused by their short-sighted feuds or wounded pride to impregnating young women and abandoning them without care or concern. 17: Barbarous Acts: Written by one of the more renowned Barbarians, people are often surprised to learn that this book was not ghost written or orated to a scribe. The author, who truly did do all the mad and uncouth things described in the book (sleeping around, slaying dragons, killing fellow adventurers) had an incredible vocabulary and immaculate penmanship. 18: Teasing our knots: This book is about the sly ways that watchmen are able to draw out thieves and bandits into the open. Kicking a burning barrel of oil into a cave, an oblivious foreign noble walking the streets with dozens of plain clothes watchmen on the path, new watchmen being sent to join guilds… it’s certainly a book worth studying for thieves and watchmen alike. 19: The Greatest Kingdom Vol. iii: A series of books that details the history of this land. Much of it has been rewritten and heavily edited to better portray rising noble families through the centuries, but a complete set of these is worth triple the value to the right collector. 20: Essentials of Society: This book describes how a society can emerge. Very humancentric point of view. Dwarves and Elves set up their societies based on very different conditions and seem to do very well. This isn’t even to mention “evil” societies that stand in stark contradiction to the author’s thesis. 21: Dark Magicks: An examination on necromantic practices as laid out by a Cleric of a good god. Much of the content is propaganda and either bends the truth or outright lies about the means and motives of necromantic practitioners. 22: Natural Trails: Written by a Ranger, this book details various animal trails across the land and where to find certain rare or uncommon land animals. The author cautions against traversing the wilds without a proper guide or escort. 23: War and its Practical Applications: A book explaining the importance of war in the creation and sustaining of a strong society. The author seems more concerned about ensuring the body count in a war is high without much regard for whether you or your opponent is the one losing troops. 24: Boots Around the World: You can’t go anywhere without footwear, and wherever you go you’re likely to find different types of footwear. This book lays out a number of different styles, trends, and types depending on where your travels take you. From leather shoes to clogs and moccasins, the book puts an extraordinary amount of detail into the origin and crafting practices of these shoes, complete with diagrams! 25: Pink Baroness: From a Clothier’s daughter to a Baroness to widow, the Pink

Paul Dean 74 Baroness takes on the responsibilities of her husband. Fighting off suitors, usurpers, and other villains, the Baroness makes a name for herself in the area as a strong and independent figure despite a soft and pliable reputation. 26: Book of Madness: This book describes in unnerving detail a number of creatures deemed “Abominations”. Reading through it, the descriptions of the beasts and how to defeat them go from very rational and straightforward to increasingly confusing and nonsensical. The author appears to have slowly descended into madness as he researched the work, at one point suggesting that the victims of a Gibbering Mouther may be rescued from it with a judicious application of wolfsbane. 27: Warlock’s Compendium: A former Warlock describes in detail his belief that Wizards are simply Warlocks with multiple, unknown patrons. He believed that the Wizards were unknowingly drawing on the powers of otherworldly beings and that the world would end when these deities discovered the thievery and came for revenge. 28: Cloak of Valor: The story of a Knight who slew the king he was sworn to protect. The Knight, the most trusted of the King’s body guards, murdered the king as he slept. He then took the queen as his bride and usurped the throne, sending the kingdom into a civil war. 29: Illusionist’s Handbook: The personal notes of a third circle illusion wizard. He describes many of the times illusion spells saved his life when evocation magic would have failed him. Hiding behind a false wall from guards, creating a distraction down an alleyway, even summoning the illusion of a bandit captain he had slain to release him from the rest of the bandits’ grasp. 30: Book of Faithful - This book follows the travels of a man named Faithful. It is a series of short stories and parables meat to teach the reader about the beliefs and tenants of the author’s religion 31: King Rictos VI: A Life Well Lived – Written by a member of King Rictos VI court, this book describes the various goings on of a royal court with much embellishment on the late king’s eloquence and persuasive skills. The amount of sycophantic groveling for a late monarch is sickening. 32: King Rictos VI: The King Who Never Was – Written by the same member of King Rictos VI’s court who wrote a groveling and sycophantic work, this book derides the late king for his short comings and failures and praises the foreign royals who conquered the Kingdom five years after King Rictos’ death. 33: Dance of Death – A training manual for swordplay, fencing, and jousting. The book descries how one must conduct themselves in honorable combat. Most of the styles and techniques descried would get you killed on a legitimate battlefield against a trained opponent. 34: Steel over Steel – A instruction manual for very complicated smithing techniques. 35: The Griffon’s Master – A book detailing the raising and training of a griffon from a egg up to full grow adult capable of bearing a lace wielding rider. The process takes early fifteen years and cost, on average, 500pp in food, and the lives of three trainers. Griffons trained in this way are far more loyal, brave, and valuable to a army than one captured and broken like a wild horse. It is commonly generals and kings who ride such costly easts. 36: Cassius’ Peerage – A collection of family trees of Royal families both local and foreign, in power and wiped out. Such books help ensure one’s heritage is pure, a potential spouse is adequate, and a conquered King’s line may be entirely extinguished. 37: Heraldic Compendium – A collection of heraldic symbols, shields, and banners for easy reference. Includes the Lords and knights these are attached to as well as family mottos: “No Quarter for Darkness.” “Faith, Fidelity, Family.” “For the People, of the People.” “Have Sword, Will Travel.”

Tessa’s Guide to Pickpocketing and Pilfering 75 38: Poisoned Daggers – An outline of various court proceedings, coups, and intrigue in a royal court. A slight poison to temporarily remove a war-hesitant counsel member. A midnight fire to eliminate a servant impregnated by a noble. A subtly inflammatory suggestion to provoke an unflattering response. 39: Carving out a Future – An incredibly detailed guide to stone masonry. I explains the various types of stone, their uses in structures, value, ease of carving, and significant architectural landmarks created in each type of stone. The author seems to have extensive experience with sandstone, he has a stated appreciation for those who can work directly in granite, delicately pulverizing the stone rather than carving it. 40: Tessa’s Guide to Pickpocketing and Pilfering – Someone appears to be using my name to flog books. I’m flattered, but didn’t see any sort of cut out of this. Who does it say the author is? I think I may need to have a chat with them… 41: The Guilds and their Fields – Laws and ordinances of a city laying out the purview of each of the guilds. Where they have influence, and where their influence ends. Certain sections of the Alchemist’s Guild has been underlined. “No use of Necrotic samples” and “Downwind of nobility” in particular 42: Calligraphy Primer – A series of fanciful letters, numbers, and symbols. This primer gives examples for steady wide strokes, quick slashes with the pen, and other techniques for creating beautiful documents. Sheets of paper are recommended for practicing the techniques, not drawing over the examples. 43: Righteous Prophet – A book of prophetic sayings passed on from a supposed prophet to his pupil. “When the blue dog bites not the hand, but the jade scepter, darkness will cover the halls of man.” “A red star, a blue moon, then comes the endless night.” “Blood and gold await the Shadow Wizened Falconer and the Void Wielding Thief.” 44: Pyotor’s Final Book of Potions – The ramblings of a mad scientist who thought to circumvent the gods through the use of elixirs and alchemical experimentation. Understanding the man’s work may lead to unending life. 45: Prayer book of the 13th – A series of prayers, dedications, liturgies, blessings, and other religious words from a wide selection of religions: good, evil, and everything in between. 46: Rhymes of the Bastardly Bard – A selection of poetry from a bawdy and ill tempered bard. His songs often offended royalty. “The queen she took of her towel / and I removed the old cowl / the king was away / the queen she did stray / now the heir’s blood runs afoul” 47: Orcish War Chants – A number of battle cries, calls to action, and marching songs of the orcs. On one page will be the chant in the original Orcish, on the other side the translation in Common. One of the tamer songs has a verse, translated to common “Blood, blood, blood / The elves will bleed and die / blood, blood, blood / The dwarves will bleed and die / Blood, blood, blood / the world will bleed and die” 48: Maps of the Many Planes – An atlas showing the topography of a number of strange and unknown lands. It contains everything from the local area to the “Land of Sorrow” which the cartographer claims to exist in another, parallel multiverse. 49: The Golden General – The story of a mercenary troop hired by a plutocracy to defend their kingdom. The Mercenary company agitated other kingdoms to perpetrate more war and more contracts. The mercenary company grew and the wealth of the Golden General became so great that he could lawfully oust the plutocrats who hired them. 50: Iron Weald – In an overthrown kingdom, a final heir to the throne returns with an army of displaced orcs to challenge the adventurers who murdered her family.

Paul Dean 76 51: The Practical Application of Magic – A nobleman’s thoughts on the merits of keeping a very low powered magician in one’s employ. A powerful wizard poses a threat but a mediocre wizard can light fires, play ethereal music, and send messages to servants. Thoughts of progressing in the magical arts ought to be discouraged. 52: The Village Blacksmith / Priest of Thieves – To a typical reader, this is a dull book describing a blacksmith’s daily routine. In truth, this book details the daily actions of a Thief Priest using thieves cant to obscure the true meaning. Their main prayer is for oblivious watchmen, docile nobles, and fat merchants. 53: Lost Island – This book, untitled, describes a lost island filled with golden idols, mountains of gemstone, and rivers of wine. Though most look at it as a fanciful work of fiction, the author goes into great detail about his quest to find the island believing it has either sunk or been magically secreted away. 54: The Hawk – A satire about a local noble with a hawk-like nose. While he is diligent and honest to the core, he woefully ignorant to clear corruption in his family and close advisors. In the story, the prey creatures warn the hawk of rampant pleasure hunting by the other birds is leading local forest to disaster. The Hawk refuses to listen and the next year the Hawk and his fellow birds starve due to a lack of prey. 55: Tragedy Arises from Human Action – Written by a prominent elven scholar, this book describes a city’s presence of the landscape as a scar on the flesh of the world. Much of the language is nearly religious in nature and speaks of human building as sinful. Dwarves, he argues, do not have the same negative influence as their practice largely takes place underground and even encourages the growth of certain fungi. 56: The Outlaw – A handsome bandit’s frustrated biography. He had to move his operation multiple times when women from local cities started to seek out this “handsome brigand” and see him for themselves. He claims that while other outlaws wear masks to protect their identity from the law, he wears a mask to hid his identity from the local women. 57: The Knit Nation – A book of history. Three warring nations come together to create a peace treaty that would eventually lead to the three nations becoming a single nation. (Proetho, Ethria, Ocrinia become Prothenia) 58: Credit to Their Teaching – A book of tutors who taught the sons of terrible kings and advised them against their fathers’ approach. Most of these tutors would end up hanged by the first king and never know the good that they wrought in the world. 59: Last When She Rose – The story of a local hero. A girl who was soft spoken sacrificed herself to save the town from an army of invaders. None are sure how she managed this feat. The night before the army was to arrive, she walked out of the town. In the morning, the army was gone, vanished, as was the girl. 60: Control and Conquer – A book of large scale battle strategy written by a well respected tactician. It seems as though he was less concerned with the capabilities of individual members of his army as he was the leadership capabilities of his direct subordinates. As such, there is little in the book about skirmishes and more talk about leader management. 61: Stars and their Meaning – A book of astrology. The book tracks the movements of the night sky and how the various gods are represented in their celestial home. Most religions dismiss this as nonsense, others have outright declared it to be heretical. Ultimately, such strong opposition has created a mystique around the practice. 62: Darkness and Light – A book of evil theology. Light may banish the darkness, but

Tessa’s Guide to Pickpocketing and Pilfering 77 shadow exists everywhere. It is easy to create a space with no light and impossible to create a place with no darkness. This is equally true, the theologian argues, in the human heart. 63: Ensuring Safe Travel – A book, as the title states, about making travel across land safer. A lot of the book focuses on signaling your ability and confidence in defending yourself. The more people who travel together, the greater the effect has on others who happen upon them. 64: Rigging the Results – A lengthy discussion on single-handed sailing. This is presumably the greatest triumph and individual can have against nature. The language describing the ocean and how to conquer it are oddly sensual in nature. 65: Good Always Wins – Written by a foreign nobleman, the motto of his house is the title of the book. They are confident that whenever “good” people work together, they are prosperous. Conversely, “evil” people working together can never trust one another and their plans will ultimately fail. 66: How to Kill – A book written by a Barbarian. The book details, in some depth, the manner in which she killed hundreds of monsters. It seems her primary weapon was her own fists with a close second going to “whatever object happens to be nearby”. 67: Dying to Live – Written by a Necromancer who clearly believed that he was funny. The book is full of puns all revolving around the macabre. Perhaps other Necromancers would find it funny, most people find it off-putting. “A Paladin followed one of my skeletons around for a couple hours. I had to ask if he was spine on me!” … That’s one of the better ones. 68: Modern Questing – A guide to the proper manner of identifying a creature’s ill intent. Make sure to establish a goblin’s intentions before stabbing him in the eye. Anything else is simply rude. 69: How to Build a Cistern – This is… surprisingly interesting. The author is able to take a subject as dry (sorry) as digging a hole and turned it into something that is nearly enjoyable. 70: Trade Wars – A history of the rise and fall of nations based on the trade between them. Close economic ties, it seems, are rarely deterrents for war. If anything, close economic ties with a rival or growing power incites a primal fear that others will cut off a critical import. The war erupts when one side believes that it would be better to secure the import directly rather than accept the risk of continuing to trust a nation that’s never given them reasons to mistrust. 71: Treasures of Batellia – A book full of relics and artifacts from a dead civilization. It seems as though many of these treasures may still be in nearby ruins, through protected by undying guardians. 72: Halls of Antiquity – This book describes the ancient architectural style of a dead civilization. Among the descriptions and diagrams are a number of traps that this civilization used to deter would-be grave robbers, and how “researchers” managed to disarm them. 73: Murder on the Moor – A book written, presumably, by a murderer. He claims to be the man behind nearly a dozen deaths ten years ago. He fills the book with clues about the how he misled the city watch and blamed the deaths on others. The author challenges the reader to find out who he is and to kill or apprehend him. The Watch has dismissed the book as a work of fiction. 74: Raising Noble Children – This book is directed towards the would-be nobility. No true noble would ever dream of raising their own child, preferring instead to send their child off to a relative or ally who will presumably be a good teacher. Much of the advice is simply disregard or mistreatment of anyone with a status lower than your desired status. 75: Guarding Your Gold – Written by a master locksmith, this book describes a number of the various locks available for purchase from any reputable source. The book places special emphasis on special treasures being locked away in a box buried in a floor or built into a wall. There is a natural trade-off between how secure your treasures are and how quickly

Paul Dean 78 the owner themselves can access it. 76: Exceptional Circumstances – This book was written by a werewolf and examines some of the complications that comes with it. Many were-folk retain the increased senses and desires of their animal shape while not transformed. This creates a level of discomfort around farms and butcher shops. 77: Oath Keeper – The diary of a Paladin whose Oaths often come into conflict with his own desires. His faithfulness to his Oath always overcomes his personal feelings. In the end, this led to his destruction. 78: Banquet in the Grave – The plight of a newly created vampire and his lust for blood. Much of the language revolves around addiction rather than monstrous desire. Conquering it is an ongoing process, not a complete eradication of desire. 79: Dance of Flames – A torturer’s journal and his lifelong obsession with fire. In his time, he experimented with how to leave an individual in the greatest amount of pain for the longest time without killing the subject. His work has been denounced by kingdoms the world over, yet many of them still implement his practices. 80: Underkings of Yore – A history of ancient Dwarven kings and the establishment on the first underground kingdoms of dwarves. Many of these kingdoms were created through brutal wars between dwarven tribes within the same mountain. The victors would have the subjugated dwarves enslaved and forced to dig pathways to their conqueror’s tunnels. 81: Glory Before Honor – A controversial work on military etiquette. This book describes how glory on the battlefield leads to honor in the kingdom. Honor, conversely, has a negative impact on securing glory on the battlefield. 82: The Stillness and the Starlight – A series of theories and experiments performed by a Wizard testing if spells were more potent at nighttime than they are during the day. He claimed the results were inconclusive. His contemporaries disagreed. 83: The Monk Who Kneeleth Alone – A book of great religious significance. The author claims that it is primarily, and perhaps exclusively, through solitude that a prophet comes into existence. None are born chosen, they separate themselves from the world and are sought out in isolation by the gods. 84: Sweep to the Riverside – A series of love poems written by a great bard. Each poem is written for one of the women that he loved. “My dearest, my love, my flower, my sweet / by my side do never wander / For in your eyes my jewel indiscreet / My heart forever grows fonder” 85: Hasten to Doom – A warlock describes their experience working under a patron. While the warlock states that their pact will certainly lead to a shorter life, even if he had the fortunes of the world and the power of all the kingdoms were his to command, he would accept the pact again without hesitation. 86: Forest Trance – An elf describes the effect that the fey have on the natural world. While the earth and industry belong man and dwarf, the natural world is a gift from creatures beyond our sight and knowledge. To understand them and their ways is to unlock creation itself. 87: Stick to the Farm – An adventurer’s lamentation about leaving a peaceful pastoral life to pursue one of adventure and daring. He speaks of the many friends and allies he lost in his journey and how even as his purse grows heavier, his heart is weighed down by it. His last act, it seems, was to donate all but a few gold pieces to a temple and spend his last coin turning his sword into a farming tool. 88: The Tenth Circle – A wizard explains the mysteries of spells that seem to be beyond the reach of even the most proficient wizards. There is magical potential beyond their reach. If the Ninth Circle allows a Wizard to alter reality itself, perhaps the Tenth circle could allow the creation of entirely new realities. He postulates that the world’s most powerful Wizards could band together to cast the unknowable spells. 89: The Art of Peace – A well known diplomat and scholar wrote this work on creating a peaceful world through eloquence and cooperation. He believe that, with the exception of uprisings sparked by a discontented and oppressed populace, war

Tessa’s Guide to Pickpocketing and Pilfering 79 could be entirely avoided. He practiced this art of diplomacy with great success, and the world plunged into war shortly after his death. 90: Veldencia – A play about a scullery maid, Veldencia, who masquerades as a noblewoman at a party. She is proposed to that night by one of the men. When it is revealed that she is a commoner, the noble declare his intentions to marry remain. This causes an uproar that leads to the deaths of everyone at the party, including Veldencia. 91: Reaching the Heavens – A series of designs for a machine meant to propel its occupants off of the land and into the skies to find a way to the distant stars. The machine is primarily clockwork, but its primary accelerant to operate the gears is the fluid used by red dragons to create flame. You would need barrels of the stuff, and a small bottle of it is nearly priceless. 92: Obsidian and Blood – One of the largest deposits of Obsidian is found by a lowly merchant who slowly builds himself up into great wealth by selling pieces of the great rock. When a rival discovers how he has come into his wealth, a feud breaks out between them that leads to the death of both men atop the great obsidian boulder. 93: Peerless Discipline – A dragonborn of a monastic order explains the secrets of their practices. Through endless repetition, the monks become some of the greatest hand-tohand fighters in the world and become one with the spiritual energy flowing within the planet itself. They harness this power to perform superhuman feats of strength and speed. 94: Disciple of War – A gladiator’s biography. As a child he was bought by a colosseum and raised up to fight wild animals and starved beasts. As he grew, so did the challenges that he faced. The colosseum owners were careful to pair him up against creatures that he could defeat, but the boy was instructed to put on a good show. To make it look like a cat-andmouse game where the monster would come out on top, but the gladiator was rarely in danger. Even the larger beasts he faced would be declawed and defanged before being released. 95: Talking to Animals – A book of quotes from the animals of the world. Unsurprisingly, they don’t seem to have much to say. A lot of talk about good plants to eat or where rabbits are particularly plump this year, but ultimately nothing terribly useful. 96: Fade to Black – A guide to blending into the crowd. Most of the advice, despite the title, is not about wearing black. If anything, black causes a person to stand out. Instead, you can be in the middle of a crowd, wearing plain clothes, and approach a target without anyone so much as glancing your way. 97: In Plain Sight – A book on how to effectively search a room for information, items, or whatever else you may be searching for. A lot of the advice boils down to taking your time and keeping yourself focused. It can be boring to do a thorough search, but by repeating the name of what you are looking for under your breath, you can increase you likelihood of finding it. 98: Dead Giveaways – The subtle hints and clues a person drops when lying. Watch the eyes, watch for perspiration, shifting their weight. Watch for anything out of the norm for the person you’re observing. The better you know a person, the easier it is to catch behavior that is abnormal. 99: After the Battle – In this book, the author talks about respecting the dead and the dying. Persons who fought valiantly, regardless of their opposition to you, must be treated with respect and given a funeral worthy of their people. Those who were cowards in battle, regardless of their alliance with you, ought to be burned and their ashes scattered to the wind. A person who dies in disgrace forfeits any dignity they had in life. 100: The Obsidian Flower: The life story of a queen who rose to power at the age of seven, survived the conspiracies against her life, and ultimately went on to expand her influence well beyond her own kingdom. After particularly bad harvest was followed by a long winter, a priest with a grudge against her late parents led a mob of hungry peasants against her. She was executed in the streets.

Paul Dean 80 The purpose of quests seed is to give a DM ideas on how to tie the pickpocketing of a thief into the larger campaign. It’s not simply a way to give the rogue something fun to do on the side, it can be used to increase the mystery of the world and impart information to the larger group. Assuming the rogue cares to share their discoveries. Some seeds are very specific about what is wrong and what needs to be done, others are left more ambiguous to allow the DM room to make decisions and layer the needs of their campaign over the seed. These can be thought of as a few different basic types: The False Allegiance Mostly, this is represented by the symbol of the Rat King. It shows that the owner’s outward allegiance does not reflect their actual loyalty. This information could be acted on, or it may be left as a piece of intrigue that expands the world. The Maps These maps are places that can be fleshed out and explored. These will require more work on the DM’s part to put together the full adventure. The Soloists These are short side stories for the thief to explore solo. Some require immediate intervention, others are less time sensitive. The Bounty You know that thievery is all about choosing your targets wisely, but every good thief ignores that once in a while. You spotted her the moment she entered. A golden tiara, a silvered sword, flowing coats. A noblewoman named Lady Constance Brighthand. She attracted attention wherever she went, and now she had yours. Bide your time, set the distraction, and… move! You managed to pull a paper off her person, hidden deep within her coat. You know not to count your chickens before they hatch, you know to examine your ill-gotten gain in private, but you can’t help it. You lift the fold to take a peek, just a hint of what you’ve acquired, and fold it back down again. You come to a dead stop. You open the paper up fully, discarding all caution, your mind racing to make sense of what you’re reading: A Wanted poster from a foreign land, 10,000 gold pieces, dead or alive, for Lady Constance Brighthand. The Ruined Keep Seems like a former owner of this map didn’t have much luck. Half of this map has been burned away. Along the top, you can make out one word: “Colevale”. You suspect that the full title of this map would read “Colevale Estate”. While currently in ruins, the map depicts the Keep as it was at its peak and appears to have been drawn by someone intimately familiar with the building. Colevale Estate isn’t far from here and the words “false wall” and “hidden path” may warrant further investigation. The Upstart You’ve been seeing signs in a form of Thieves Cant unfamiliar to you for a few days now. They bear many of the same trademarks of Thieves Cant but seem either unfinished or underdeveloped. There are whispers of a new Guild in town. Now, you’ve discovered a document written in this new Cant. While you are unfamiliar with it, seeing a complex message in its entirety allows you to tease out some of what is being said by pairing it with the Cant you know. The message seems equal parts map and riddle. The third barrel of the… Captain? General? Commander?... Descends the ratters… domain? Playground? Kitchen?... To the dark streets where the refuse of the underground… something about a boat made of man, plant and animal? Knock thrice the Witch’s tempo or catch the bolt? Well, “catch the bolt” at least seems obvious enough.

The Constabulary This appears to be a map of the local constabulary. The guard rota sketched into the side seems to suggest that there is a hole in the Watch’s scheduling. The guards are understaffed within their four walls, which may prove to be beneficial. There may even be a way to exploit this to gain access to the evidence lockup, or even the cells. Something seems strange about this, though. Have the streets been so bad of late that they are unable to safeguard their Watchhouse, or has someone been excluded from the rota? Treasure map You’ve come across a beautifully drawn map. This sheet seems to be more of a series of reminders than a direct map. Perhaps finding the treasure will be impossible. Perhaps there is a way to find the map’s owner. Whispers A book has recently come into your possession. The book is titled “Whispers”. The book is filled with writing that seems to shift and change as you attempt to read it. Anyone else that you show it to claims that the book is empty. There is nothing written there. Whenever you close the book, you begin to hear whispers on the edge of your hearing. (Forces Attunement, can be removed by a “Remove Curse” spell.) Blade of Sacrifice This was an incredible haul. A dagger made of blackened steel with a gold handle. There is a humanoid figure carved into the blade, itself holding a dagger and seeming to float above the floor. As you examine the blade, you hear a voice speak in your ear “Destroy the blade, save us all” before a black smoke begins to billow out from the blade. The thief is attacked by a specter only visible to the thief. The Handoff It is a well-established tradition that a thief about to be caught will attempt to hand off their loot to another thief. It is a matter of honor to bring the item to the guild on the thief’s behalf. What is handed off to you, however, is a small portrait not of a noble family, but the head of the guild. The Initiate An individual looking to become a member of the thieves guild must steal an item of note from and give it to the guild as their first dues. While these initiates may enlist the help of the guild, no gold or items may trade hands in exchange for service, and the lookout cannot enter the target’s home. One initiate, a female halfling, has come up to you and requested your aid in exchange for a future favor. (Note: A few skill checks that night to assist Farhome in her attempt. Stealth to sneak up on the house, Perception to watch for guards, animal handling to silence guard dogs, etc. Encourage the player to come up with their own way of assisting Farhome.) The Trouble with Wizards You’ve always fancied yourself a skilled thief, but this was the first time something jumped into your pocket. A rodent seemed to be causing some fuss with several people pursuing it. It runs through the crowd before finding its way into one of your pockets. Its pursuers continue pushing through the crowd. You pull it out of your pocket a few moments later and find that it was carrying a piece of paper. (Note: The handout may be taken at face value. Alternately, this could be a prank or a trap with the creature simply being a trained rodent looking for a target.) Mercenary Company One of the great things about the city is the new people who have no idea who to look out for. Over time, locals may realize that certain faces correspond with a loss but new people don’t know who to watch for. Taking the amulet off of a Mercenary, you discover a clasp on the side. Unlocking it, you find a second symbol underneath, five rats with their tails knotted together. Turncoat Noble You managed to swipe a dagger off a local noble only to discover that the dagger, while ornate, had a false pommel on it. Unscrewing the pommel from the rest of the dagger, you discover that inside is a vial with an unknown, transparent blue liquid. Additionally, there is a symbol of five rats with their tails knotted together. Problem with Potions You’ve managed to swipe a potion, but this potion has an ethereal face inside of it. Looking closer, you can make out that the face is making eye contact with you, and is trying to communicate something. The list Most thieves make use of a pseudonym to better protect against divination magic. While walking about, you overhear some guards speaking. The sergeant just got his hands on a list of believed names of high-ranking thieves guild members. You managed to swipe the list from the guards but took a major risk getting a hold of it. Now, you are being pursued. How do you escape? Dark Idol You stole a statue of an evil God. All though you got away clean, a black image of five rats with their tails tied together has appeared on the back of your hand. (Note: The players should be beset by a cult looking to retrieve their idol, removing the spot may be a matter of destroying the idol or visiting a temple to be cleansed of its power.) The Minotaur A beautiful necklace with glowing blue gemstones is too much to resist. You grab one of the gemstones at an opportune moment and pull. Suddenly, appearing right beside you is a large, enraged minotaur. Tessa’s Guide to Pickpocketing and Pilfering 81

Paul Dean 82 (Note: There are a few ways this could play out. Either the minotaur could attempt to kill the thief, or the minotaur treats the thief as an ally to be protected. Anyone near the thief comes under attack, and the minotaur follows the thief wherever they go.) The Wizard’s Tower You find an opportune moment to reach into the pocket of a wizard. When you do, you feel the back of your hand begin to burn. You withdraw quickly, seemingly unnoticed. You stop and look at your hand, the burning now subsiding, and see the map of a tower burnt onto it. The Poisoned Blade Skirting between streets by way of alleys, you notice a sword lying on the ground. You approach cautiously only to see it’s covered in blood. Slightly obscured by the detritus of the alley is a nearby Tiefling, laying still and bleeding out, eyes fixed. (Note: The sword was coated in a paralytic poison before use. The Tiefling will bleed out without immediate intervention. Given the state of the Tiefling, it’s likely the would-be murderer is still around.) The Scholar Attempting to steal from a particularly distracted scholar, the man reaches out and grabs you as you start pulling away with his purse. “You’re trying to steal from me?” His face, hard and angry, suddenly brightens. He looks around, then leans in excitedly, whispering “You’re trying to steal from me! You’re a thief. No need to steal,” he releases you and points at his purse, which you still hold. “There’s more where that came from. A rival of mine is set to release a paper that will surely ruin me. I need you to break into his home, find the manuscript, and bring it to me. I’ll give you ten times what’s in that purse if you can do this for me!” (Note: This can be scaled for difficulty and reward. A 10 GP purse and 100gp reward at a low level.) Delicate Digits You have now in your possession a small ornate box. It appears to be a child’s jewelry box. You can feel something rolling around inside. Popping open the lid you immediately snap it shut again and set the box down. You take two quick breaths and then open it again, revealing a note and the severed pinky finger of a child, a silver ring still attached. (Note: This is the most money mentioned in this book. Be ready with contingencies if you don’t want your players to just run off with around 12.5k gold worth of platinum. The kidnappers may intervene to take the money back. The Watch may have gotten involved despite the warning and attempt to arrest the thief, suspecting them to be the kidnapper. Or the bars may be iron with platinum coating.) The Dirty Watchman You have picked the pocket of a guardsman as he and a half dozen others raced out of their watch house. He seemed frantic. Something big seems to be happening south a couple of blocks south of your location. All you managed to pull off him was a piece of paper. The Bread A loaf of bread is nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes it’s all you can get your hands on in a day, but it will see you through to the next. This time, however, it isn’t what it seems. Inside the bread is an iron key with a golden bow (or head), on the bow of the key is a symbol: five rats with their tails knotted together. The Urchin It’s not unusual for thieves to tread the same ground. Urchins, likewise, stalk roads in packs, looking for an easy mark that they can run against. Every so often, lacking knowledge of who is a fellow thief, they unwittingly turn against their own. These events are usually shrugged off. A rite of passage to a young thief, feeling that swell of fear at getting caught, and then embarrassment at realizing the mistake. In this case, you grab the arm of the urchin reaching into your pockets and the culprit is not unknown to you. This is the third time that the child has attempted to steal from you. There is no remorse, no embarrassment in their eyes. They draw a dagger and attempt to stab you, but it was a ruse. A distraction. The momentary lapse in concentration allows the child to slip from your grip and disappear into the alleys. That’s when you notice that they were not trying to steal from you, but that they were planting something on you. You find a gold amulet in your pocket that was not there before. The symbol of a local noble family on the back. (Note: This is a good quest to pull when the heat is up on a thief. Someone, likely not the child, is trying to plant evidence on the thief. Perhaps a rival thief, a guardsman who hasn’t been able to catch the thief red-handed, or the noble family.) Have a Heart You manage to get in your possession a small box. Opening it up at an opportune time, you find a still beating heart. Inlaid in the wood behind it is a symbol of five rats with their tails knotted together. The Cards You manage to get your hands on a set of tarot cards from a fortune teller. On opening the deck, three cards immediately come to life and begin to circle you. They are Death, the Devil, and the Fool. It is difficult to tell, but the Fool does bear a resemblance to the thief. Suddenly the three cards begin to move faster, and as they begin to intersect with one another you feel a sudden pain in your side. Death has cut into the Fool and your flesh opens up. (Note: The Fool shares HP and AC with the thief. The Devil and Death use the Animated Objects (Tiny) stat block.)

Paul Dean 84 Treasure Map Blade of Sacrifice Whispers Blade of Sacrifice Dagger, uncommon The Dagger is a magical weapon that can hold 3 charges and begins with 1d4-1 charges. This is a +X dagger, where X is equal to the number of charges. You can increase the charges by killing any humanoid with the dagger, trapping its soul in the blade in the process. While making an attack roll with the dagger, if the result on the die is a 1, X specters appear adjacent to the dagger and the dagger loses one charge. Only the wielder can see these specters, and only the wielder is their target. Whispers Wondrous item, common (requires attunement) You can hear someone speaking at the edge of your mind. No matter how hard you focus, the words never come clear. If no one is attuned to this item, the next person to touch it becomes attuned. You cannot choose to unattune from Whispers.

Meet me at “the usual place” and we’ll find our way from there. Dear Sir/Madame My name is Trenidus Illisar. Despite my appearance, I am a powerful wizard trapped in the body of the small creature you now see before you. I require some assistance. Some men are seeking to bring me back to their master who transformed me. My rival. If you would be willing to lend a struggling wizard assistance, I would be in your debt. I fear my faculties are leaving me the longer I am in this form. Please, return me to the Standing Stones outside of town. I have a solution to my unfortunate condition there, but fear not only my pursuers, but the feline denizens of the area… Mercenary Company

Dedication To the foolish thieves who walk about in black To the short lived thieves who never had the knack To the intelligent thieves whose hubris saw them caught To the hesitant thieves who walk away with naught To the cowardly thieves extracting wealth through force To the children-thieves Treading the Thiefmaker’s course To the swindling thieves Whose words entreat the con To the swift footed thieves Here a moment and then gone To all of you, brothers and sisters I lift a pilfered glass That the Merchant, the Watch, the King May kiss your larcenous ass.
