What's wrong with thievery?

::walks up and leaves a note written in very bad hand writing::

What's wrong with being a thief some people think that it is the next most noble profession next to being a warrior. But do you know what the least noble profession is? Why it is quite simple, a politician. A thief will always tell you the truth, such as "That ring is a little tight for your finger." Where as a politician may say "Why your Lordship that ring looks magnificent, and how well it fits." Of course the question is always how the heck
did the politician find out how the ring fit? We all know ho the thief found out, so I guess that makes a politician a thief partially, but they do lie about everything so they are very un-noble. Assasins are the third most noble profession, you are a warrior but you are a sneek so it is less noble then thievery. I personally do my killing in a very special way. When I find my target I hold them there and tell them why I'm there and who sent me,
it is more justified that way. How man people do you think are so brazen that they would do something like this? Not many, but I am one of them. What makes me slightly nobler then the average assasin is that I never use poison or sneek up on someone in a dark alley to kill them. I give them a fair chance at beating me in a duel, I win every time, but most of the time I spend a few weeks in bed afterwards. ::sighs:: I hope you all enjoy my little
discorse on the noblity of certain professions. ::nods:: See you in the ring..... ::grins and laughs wickedly::


Forged,

Aspen

Next week's question: What is wrong with killing people? I mean, at least killers know when they will kill someone. For healers, they don't know if failed spells will cause that person to die.
The week after that will pose an interesting question. Why are the majority of creatures walking on an even number of legs? Why can't some walk on one leg, three, five, or seven legs?
The next week will have the most interesting question... If two carriages left from opposite sides of Rhydin, the one leaving from the west going at fifteen miles per hour, and the one leaving from the east is going at five miles per hour, just where will they meet?

::he chuckles as he reads Var note. He scribbles a few answers and sticks them to the board::

1. Nothing is wrong with killing people, as long as you have a reason to do it.
2. Why not. And they can walk, just one leged people have to do more of a hop then
anything else.
3. Half way between the middle or Rhydin and where the eastern carriage left from. Did you really not know that answer?

And to Aspen: I sure hope Mages are high on the list as well.

Sah, I dislike very few people, but I befriend you out of loss of respect, respect which I can not hold for you in a great amount, maybe not even a tad. Thieves are liars and cheats, no matter how you shape it, and will kill and do anything which calls them to do in their quest for the all mighty gold crown and a succulent silver piece. They are lazy folk, sick folk, who have not the drive and know-how to earn their
living other than piracy, conspiracy, robbery, and murder. They stand next to hired killers, who hold probably the least noblest and the most cruelest of all "proffessions," though I dearly doubt it holds that esteem. They are sneaks, conspirators and vicious sick fools who will likewise kill and take innocent lives without a single thought; all what matters is the money, and the poor person manipulated. To hold them as any class of warrior, then,
sickens me. You, my law-breaker, and coward, are both, and in my sightless eyes, unfit to to hold any amount of respect. I do hope this justifies my simple actions, care for them or not; I possibly will put a word in or not to the Towne Courthouse, though they might not take action, or possibly sniff you out themselves. I do not hold any morbid wishes or wishes of that type to you, except a prison cell.

Coron.

Need more info Var. How many miles apart are they when they start?

No Percy, with my luck they'd both wind up running through my house, having their horses take care of their nasty business in my living room, drink all of my wine, then thank me for an enjoyable day.
