[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 1248111, member: 9410"] [b]Legitimate Businesses a Thieves' Guild Would Own:[/b] 1) Whorehouses - Even if prostitution is legal, "pillow talk" is a great means of information gathering. Also see #5. 2) Jewellers - Stolem jewellery needs to be disposed of. While a golden ring with emerald inset looks pretty much like any other, an ingraved golden snuffbox will need to be altered, before sale. This fella can do both forya, acting as both alterer and fence. 3) Gemcutter - The Star of India (famous RL Diamond) or Hope Diamond (ditto) can't be sold just anywhere... It can be cut down into several smaller stones, however, and the dust sold as material components, however (diamond dust for resurrection, etc). 4) Smelters - Melt down and sell those snuffboxes, musicboxes, chatellaines, and anything else too distinctive to sell. 5) Construction business - You want floorplans for a place? Also useful in disposing of dead bodies... 6) Warehousing - Storage places have a LOT of uses, and you can always steal anything TOO valuable that was stored! 7) Magic shoppes - You gotta dispose of'em, somewhere! 8) Habberdashery - For disposing of dead folk's clothes. 9) Weapon shoppes - For their weapons. 10) Armor shoppes - same as above. 11) Pawn shoppes - anything else. 12) Servants-R-Us - Get in anywhere.
