[THIEF ANNIVERSARY CONTEST] - VAMPIRE SKULL The hammerites had gotten
hold of a vampiric skull worth quite a bit of dough. I needed to cut their
sermon short by stealing it, then make it back to the streeets. Soon after
start I realized some thieves had beaten me to it. The key accessing their
lair lay on the chapel floor. Not much to report. A
short, straight-forward sneak job is all. One tricky spot in the sewers had a
stationary thief guarding the cave entrance. I passed along the side slope as
he did his pivot. The two patrolling thieves further below posed no threats. Fetched the loot and the
key from the boss’ bedroom (left image above). The tomb entrance was a little
tricky to spot. It was located along one of the darker walls in the sewers. Since
taking the skull spawned several haunts around the thieves’ lair, I returned
the key to the bedroom before venturing into the tomb. That way I didn’t have
to deal with the thieves’ heightened senses. I simply pulled the old lock-‘n-block
trick with the tomb door. They key couldn’t be returned to the alcove though,
it made too much of a noise and woke the boss to hunt mode. I put it on the
corner of his bed instead. I guess this is a small Supreme bust. Some players
would say as long as you return it to the same room you’re good. I don’t say
that. One haunt spawned right by the tomb entrance, staring down the tunnel
with the two thieves. To begin with they all gave some first alerts, but
quickly blew it off. I think what made them fight were sounds from swordplay
below. The haunt slayed the sentry before getting downed by the patrolling
thief (right image above). I could now close and lock the tomb door without
spawning a first alert, which is what would have happened before the undeads
arrived. I replaced the sewer hatch key on my way back to the initial streets. Statistics: Time: 16:19 Loot: 245 out of 245 Pickpockets: 0 out of 1 Secrets: None Locks Picked: 2 Damage Dealt: 0 Damage
