We should have let her go. But we thought Tickleberry had information on Lilybo’s where about. He went missing and we went to mattress. We heard Tickleberry break in and knew she was good. I don’t know which of Bagger gang closed her escape route and threw the hold person on her but it was just like Bilbo’s group to be sneaky. I am a priest to lucky one. Too bad my luck has run out.I heard someone had been playing around as me. We could not really question people openly so we let it stand. Leonard had told his side now it my turn. First in the standing on my far left is Wallace of Montgomery, a young mage and thief. Next the cute one who is our bait is Ms Bonny of Sherwood also a mage and thief with a little bit experience under her belt. Third Hosea of Greenwood fighter and thief and one of upcoming soon to be down and going. Fourth is our heavy hitter and two weapon fighter Nelson who wanted to become a lord. Fifth is Robin of Merry wood better thief than fighter but good in both fields. Sixth and just hanging around is Clyde of Horse Lane a sorcerer but he is not going to pull any rabbits out his hat. And being gagged means no last minute spell slinging.The body to my right is Lilybo. Who was just getting his head together after that bad night in the wizard’s guild. He did not come back with the crown he was sent after and circumstances did not allow us another go at it. But why am I hanging around.You would too after being turn out by the evil Tickleberry. But at least I heard she bought the farm. For those visitors in Hartsford they hang thieves. Even two plus days dead ones! Lilybo is ripe and I can see the Bagger gang is too.We found Tickle berry just outside the shop. We were unable to really question her, as the watch was unusually efficient. But she did have one of Lilybo’s maps on her. So she was arrested and we showed up for court the next day.Boy as Cleo of Beirhouse tired. First the attack on her husband in the middle of night and then being haul into court as witness and spell caster. Tickleberry was crazy. She ASKED for Zone of Truth spells to cast. Her friend Ackmed was smooth. He was able to surprise the judge, Honorable Harry P. Stonebender, with his wit and talk. She was charged with possession of burglary tools, a lashing and fine offense, and possession of stolen goods, the map, and breaking and entering.  Ackmed was able to talk Judge Harry out the breaking and entering by getting me to admit since not one of us saw her in the building we could not be sure she did. He got her a lashing for stolen goods because the map was recovered. And he was working on the burglary tools when Tickle berry went cuckoo!She stands up in open court and confesses to being a rogue. Ackmed tries to get her shut up but the girl was on a roll. She confesses to having broken in, stole the map, and…THEN ANNOUNCES TO THE WHOLE WORLD THAT THE THIEVES GUILD DOES EXIST.She continues to confess that she knows where the hide out is and rats us out. I didn’t see Judge Stonebender motion but next thing I knew is all us Light fingers were being dog piled and chained. While that is happening, the judge grabs two patrols, Cleo and Steward of Beirhouse to raid the place. And suspends her sentence. Then orders her and her party to help with the raid.  They went out the door in a flash!Meanwhile the other priests are keeping up the truth spells. And the judge starts asking yes or no questions. And we were not allowed to stand mute. So we admit our guilty, especially after some body parts are subject to indignities!Well that my side. Ack!Such a long fall for a short halfling……..</blockquote>
