Stealing

So you want to steal, huh? Then THIS is the section for you! Before you set out, though, be sure your strength, stealth, and lockpicking are fairly high, and go buy oil from the Apothecary.

Now go the to Money Changer. Make the Thief Sign, and she'll reveal herself to be the local Thieves' Guild. She then gives you a mission; break into the Metal Worker's house and steal a Silver Tea Service from him. She must like her tea served fancy, I guess...

Anyway, wait until night, then head to the alleys. Your target is a small alley behind the Inn. When you reach a place with a blue torch, you'll know you reached the right place. Save, then pick the lock on the door until it opens. Be sure you're in sneak mode!

Anyway, sneak up to the Tea Service (if a floorboard squeeks, stop moving for a few seconds, then resume). Take the Tea Service, and a local resident will come in. Fortunately, he's drunk off his ass, so he won't pay attention to you. Now you have to prepare a place to hide. Head over to the wardrobe. Oil the wardrobe, making it squeek-proof. Now your hiding place is complete. Also, search the wardrobe to find a Silver Bowl.

Sneak down to the rug in the middle of the room. Move the rug, and you'll find a trap door. Open the trap door to find a small chest, but before you can do anything, a voice begins to come towards you from outside. Quickly close the trap door and move the rug, then hide! The next resident will come in. He's not quite as drunk as the last one, but doesn't see you in the shadows. When he's gone, head over to the rug again.

Move the rug and open the trap door. Pick the lock on the chest, and you'll get some Dinars. Also, the bottom of the chest will be revealed to be fake, yielding a hidden Silver Dagger. However, ANOTHER voice will begin to come! How many people live here, anyway? Quickly close the trap door, move the rug, sneak to the wardrobe, open the wardrobe, and hide. You'll get in just as the next resident, a Palace Guard, comes in. Good thing you hid, isn't it?

Once he's gone, leave the house. You've taken everything there is. Sleep at the Inn, then head to the Money Changer in the morning. Give her the Silver Dagger, Silver Tea Service, and Silver Bowl for some SERIOUS money! SHe'll also have a job for you, but reccommends that you lay low for a bit. Wait a day before asking for the job.

Your next target is the Weapon Shop. Once again, wait until night. Go to the Weapon Shop and sneak to the door. Now Save. Wait until a guard passes, then pick the lock. If you fail, don't try again until the guard passes again. Eventually, it'll open.

Once inside, close the door IMMEDIATELY! Now sneak over to the anvil. Oil the anvil, then push the anvil to reveal a trap door. Open the trap door to reveal a strongbox. Pick the lock, and you'll get mucho dinars! Now exit the shop and use your map to get away.

That's all you can steal in Shapier. Don't worry, though; Rasier has some good stuff, too...
