Ilan14: Daniel - Human Thief Without wasting time, I proceed to unlock the hornet chest. Suprisingly, unlocking this one was a rather trivial task. But before I open it, I'm suddenly shoved aside by another fellow thief, an elf with an apparent disregard for basic manners, a clear violation of the Thief's Code.
Unfortunately, before I can voice my discontent, a spiderweb springs from inside the western tunnel, trapping us both in place. A sticky situation indeed, but immediately after that, a lady drow - possibly a Necromancer given her looks - with a goblin in tow approaches us and frees us from the web through some sort of enchantment.
But not without taking the treasure of the chest for herself, an ornated silver dagger, a weapon which would make the perfect fit for a thief. Obviously, I couldn't allow this to stand, so I call to the drow and tell her:
"Greetings, lady Necromancer! I appreciate you getting us out of this mess. But as much as I admire your business-like approach to thievery, I had my eyes on that treasure first, and as a Thief, having someone else snatch it away doesn't sit well with me. As I would like to avoid conflict given the approaching dangers of the grate, I offer you the chance to just hand over the dagger peacefuly. Otherwise, I'll be obligated to start playing roughly..."
I look at the elf beside me and tell him:
"As for you fellow thief, I'm willing to forgive your lack of manners if you support me in this situation."
While open for negotiation, I stand on guard for a potential fight. Might I draw your attention to the fact that there's still some treasure left in the chest? The ogre belt. In case you missed it and thought it contained only the dagger.
