City of Thieves: 78, 216, 72, 208, 317, 241, 63: New Avenues in Muggery

The seal of the grumpy dragon is just great.

     Following the advice of a terrified naked man, as I so often do in life, I go down Clog Street.

Choice: Clog Street: 216

I've been rewarded for helping quite a bit. Due for being nice stabbing me in the face.

      I amble over to the young boy and ask, "Are you alright there?"

Choice: Help: 72

     

     There's no picture, but I can imagine the moment.

Round 1

Hilda: 19

Goblin: 8

Goblin: 4-2=2

      The goblin strikes up with a knife, I grab the hoop from the ground, and pull it hard on the goblins arm, knocking it aside and sending the knife clattering.

      "You poor thing," I tell the goblin, "You have no idea what you just did."

Round 2

Hilda: 16

Goblin: 14

Goblin: 2-2=0

     I take the stick from the ground and batter the goblin with it every which way until it breaks apart, and leave the goblin whimpering in a heap.

Choice: Victory: 208

     I take the lot and head onwards, whistling a jaunty air.

     The same air the bard sang... that really is stuck in my head.

GP: 34+2=36

Choice: Onwards: 317

Gotta find a Butcher and Baker...

     The smell of wax is heavy, and the shop inviting, so I head on in. Perhaps the owner has heard something.

     

Choice: Enter: 241

And we have our first elf! Dun-dun-dun-da!

          "No, don't need candles... but, magic is always handy."

Choice: Back of the Store: 63

Those are some very pretty lights.

     5 gold and 2 items? Dang!

     Okay, phial and hat don't count, so I have...

Throwing Knife

Climbing Rope

Butcher's Meat Hook

Iron Spike

Lantern

6 Black Pearls

Garlic Clove

Knucklebones

     Hrm... I guess I could lose 2 of the 6 pearls, maybe? Nah, definitely want to play safe with that.

     I think... meat hook and knucklebones are the least useful, so let's lose them.

     I think this item juggling is a pretty good add to gameplay, honestly. I now wish I'd bought some candles just to have something trivial to get stolen.

GP: 36-5-31

     I leave the store whistling away and heading on down
