ok so i dont own the concept of thief or any of the character blah blah etc so this is mostly a fan-fic type thing based on the game Thief i havent copied the story from anywhere or anything which you will see because its probably shite,but its the only way to get better i suppose
Ego famulus
From the rooftop,a set of eager eyes overlooks a rowdy tavern,
A man stumbles out of the tavern door looking worse for ware and slumps against a wall outside
"i think this is my cue to go in and take whats mine...or theirs"
Garret gets up and stalks his across the slanted roofs until he reaches the building which connects a house to the tavern roof,hugging up close to the building keeping his feet careful on the narrow ledge and grasping the edge above with his fingertips, he slowly but surely edges his way across to the tavern roof.
Looking down through the skylight he could see the tavern in full flow,the usual animated drunks and the murmured mumbling of inebriated chatter,he proceeded past it to the edge of the roof and lowered himself on to the balcony just out side the owners bedroom,he climbed through the open window,"this is all too easy" he said to himself spying a chest in the corner of the room,"and im guessing this dosen't even have a lock" he opened the chest and took hand fulls of coins out and placed them in his leather pouch and crept towards the door.
Spying through the keyhole of the bedroom door Garret checked that the landing was clear of anyone and went through the door,he presses himself against the wall at the top of the staircase and peeks around the corner to get a better view of the tavern.It was full of people which was a good sign since there would be alot of money in the cash register,his eyes scanned around the room and fixated on two men drinking at the bar who one of which was bragging about how he had ripped off an old lady
"i told her it was rare,one of a kind!,and the silly old moo paid twice as much!"
"Looks like im not the only thief in the tavern tonight" Garret muttered to himself.
Just then the atmosphere in the room was allayed to a loud thud
"give me a ale" a huge man said with his fists clenched on the wooden surface of the bar
"uhm..im afraid i dont have any left" said the barman with a tremor in his voice
"give me an ale now you bastard!" the man slammed his fists onto the bar once again which seemed to shake up everyone in the room
"ok ok calm down i think i have another barrel in the cellar il.. il go get it right away!" the barman disappeared into the cellar,he didn't seem like there was another barrel of ale down there,more like he was a cockroach scuttling away into the darkness from the confrontation.
The large men turned around his senses awakened to the silence,
"well? what you all staring at!?"
everyone in the room was suddenly interested in the window looking outside or their reflections in their ale when the silence was interupted by a grumbled old voice from the back,
"an unsought bastard of inadvertent fornication"
the room roared with laughter followed by oooing (lame i know,couldnt think of a way to describe that sound)
the large man looked furious,eyes hazed over with rage,
"i have no idea what the hell you just said!" pointing at the man with a trembling finger " but im going to bloody ave you for that!"
He ran forward screaming,grappled him and threw him over a table,then seemingly simaltainiously a circle of people formed around the wrestling pair jeering it on.
"Just the distraction i needed,Garret skulked down the stairs and crouched behind the bar and with one seemingly knowledgeable finger opened the till and started snatching the money and stuffing it in his bulging leather pouch.With that done he calmly walked towards the exit squeezing through the crowd who were too distracted with the ensuing fight to notice and left the tavern richer for the experience.
