Message: <blockquote data-quote="Narrator" data-source="post: 691505" data-attributes="member: 10027">To Clete: The Thieves' GuildHaving spent hours exhaustively questioning people and tracking down leads and speaking to yet more people and shouting drinks and speaking to some more people, and having found out the Heironean temple is the only one in town, you finally manage to track someone down from the local chapter.Amazingly enough, the 'guild' consisted entirely of one small, run-down building just a few doors down from, and a street behind, the Thirsty Gnoll.It posed as a cobbler's shop but you recognized the signs: on the sign were three nails crossed over each other to signify no double-crossings; in the window a white hankee could be seen indicating sanctuary could be found within; and the most obvious, a man seemed permanently affixed to a chair inside a room that had a conveniently facing window in the building opposite.Knocking twice you went straight in; that was the usual sign, after all, who knocks on the door of a shop?A smallish man of indeterminate human race sat with his feet up on a low counter. His beard was short and scraggly and a scar ran over his right eye and down his chin. He sat back with his arms behind his head and casually chewed on a thin stick."Come ta pay yer respects, eh?"This was the term used to ask if you would be, or had been, doing any thieving in the town and if you'd be paying the guild it's share. Ten percent was a standard cut to avoid getting your throat slit but twenty was the going rate for out-of-towners.DM: Feel free to make up any thieves' cant as I did above as long as you explain it in OOC or in your characters thoughts/actions, etc. You know this not to be 'the guild' or a headquarters, but rather just a place that they own. You have no idea how big or little the guild is here or how many guilds there are or if they're just gangs but so far this is the only evidence of any activity in the town.</blockquote>
