Roberto sat in his office, looking over the annals and sifting through reports to see what could be updated next. He wanted to target areas that he knew would have an impact on the mindset of those that joined their ranks. He had noticed that too often there were those who would not risk battle unless the conditions were perfectly in their favor, and with a smirk he pulled out one of his own reports from when he was younger.
With a smirk he nodded to himself. “Yes. This will do.”
Thiefbane Secret Art 69 – Reversal of Fortunes
As the Tower often likes to remind us, the wheel weaves as the wheel wills, but in the Thiefbane we believe we must take control of our own destiny even if we are down on our luck. You are always dangerous, do not become reliant on your gear, instead become a force upon yourself. Take risks when no one is expecting, be where they say it is impossible to be, and take down your target whether it be darkspawn or criminal with reckless abandon.
While we do wish people would stop gambling away their gear while, we do not set limits to vices in the Thiefbane. Sometimes it is prudent to just take back what was stolen from you, far cheaper than having to purchase new gear after you lost all your gold on a bad roll of the dice. Sometimes all it takes is a well placed dagger on a target and you can see your fortunes reversed.
Operational Report
Author: Roberto al’Farth
Subject: Darkspawn
Location: Wild territories near Bream Forest
I found myself in Tar Valon, somehow stripped bare with no recollection of how it occurred. I received a report of trollocs moving in the south, one of them wearing exquisite onyx dagger in a silver chains. I knew that somehow the darkspawn had been able to equip himself with what was once mine. I knew I had no time to go find gear, so I requested the aid of Ammanas, who lent me a dagger so I could take pursuit of the enemy.

A report from Terinor at the time indicated he was in the mines hiding from the warriors of the light that searched for him. I quickly mounted a horse, running him ragged, swapping mounts to get to where the spawn where located. I do not suggest riding a horse in the nude, the chafe will make movement difficult in the days after, but sometimes one must deal with pain for the pursuit of a great goal.

I had arrived to the mines too late, but Terinor had once again scouted ahead. It seemed as if a trolloc camp had been set up under the notorious trolloc that goes by the name Blodfest. At this point I claimed my target, and sallied forth towards the location of said camp. Once there I quietly slipped past the perimeter, and began my search for the enemy.

Though my initial report was not believed by the warriors of light, I had found both my intended target and another trolloc. Though by taking action I risked giving away my location to my target, I prioritized the ending of a darkspawns life over personal goals.
