"Rain, oh how I hate rain." I said to myself, it had been a long night and I remember not getting much sleep, a bit hard to sleep on the streets but when you have nowhere else to go........anyways where was I? oh yes.... I had just woken up and started packing up my things when I heard footsteps behind me. I look back and see one of the City Guards. I feel my stomach sink, because this isn't just any guard this is Volbind. Volbind had been after me since I first started my "job". Unfortantely I was the only way he could find out who my employer was. I slung my pack over my shoulder and made a run for it hearing the words "Oh when I catch you.......!" it trails off as I round the corner. "Just a few more blocks" I said to myself as I am running through the crowds. You would be surprised how fast you can loose a guard in broad daylight in a big city like Waterdeep. I break through the last of the crowd running down another back alley. I hear more voices, "Great he bought his friends" I curse and keep running. I see the window and dive in, I stay laying on the floor listening.........Volbind:"This way he's heading to the sewers again!", I chuckle softly. I slowly get up and I see an elven girls face looking at me shaking her head. "Getting into trouble I see." says the girl. I smile "You know me Vis." I say as a toss my things on the table. "Boss around?" I ask as I grab a piece of bread from the basket and chomp down. "He's in his "office"....I think he has a job for you." she tells me with a bit of worry in her voice. "oh? good I need to coin" I walk down a long flight of stairs. Walk up to the far wall and run my fingers along the top till I find it. The hidden trigger slides the wall to the side. I pull down my rain soaked hood and walk in. I say my usual hellos to the others and keep walking to see....Hanely. I walk through the big oken door. Hanely looks up " where have you been?". "Out scouting the city" I lie. "Good, now that your here I have a job for you." I rub my hands together in anticipation. "I need an amulet from the Prog family, they if the better part of town." I sit there listening, "I need you to go in when it is dark and get it for me, it is quite valuable and could get me my new sword I want." I smirk.............I could really care less about what he get's get to the part where I get paid! "you will of course get royality" he says, "Good" I reply. He give me directions then sends me away. I walk upstairs pulling up my hood. Again the face of that little girl. "Chril where are you going now? You just got in!" she says with a bit of anger. "Sorry got a job and I need to get started." I reply. She give me a sad look then nods as I look out the window. "Don't worry" I say with a smile, "I always come back". I grin as I walk crawl out the window. She hand me my pack through the window "Be careful" she says as I walk away. I watch the house till it is dark. "Great, everyone is home" I sigh because I know this isn't going to be easy but I think to myself about how I need the coin. I then climbed up one of the drain pipes to the roof. I look around for a way in on the roof and find none. I then look over the edge at one of the windows and see a dark room. "perfect" I said to myself as I swing myself in quietly. I look around the room slowly, finding nothing but books. I then open the door ahead just enough so I can see out of it. Laterns were lit along the hallway but I saw no shadows so I moved out quietly. I made why through the halls till I heard two girls talking. I stand by the door listening. "Oh what a lovely necklace!":Voice 1 "Aye, my father gave it to me when ......my.....my mother died." Voice 2 , there is a long pause. "Well I better put it back so it doesn't get ruined" Voice:2. I heard them walking to the door and I press myself against the wall. The door swings and stops just in fron of my nose. I steadied my breathing and heard the girls run down the hall in the other direction. I walked into the room and see the amulet plain as day sitting on her nightstand. "Sometimes this is too easy" I said to myself. But then I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. I just stood there for the longest time staring at the amulet not being able to do anything at all. Then I heard the girls running back. I cursed softly and climbed out the window leaving the amulet behind. I walked slowly down the streets making my way back to the guild hall. It was raining again and I was terrified of what Hanely my boss was going to do to me when I tell him I didn't get the amulet. I then realized that he would kill me or have me killed, so the only option I had was to leave Waterdeep. I hurried back to the hall and waited for Visitant to come out for her usual break. As soon as she walked out the door I ran by grabed her hand and we started running down the street. As we are running I told her what happend and she just kept smiling at me and not saying a thing. We came to docks and I saw a boat about to leave, I asked where he was going and how much it would cost for us to board. He replied "Isinhold, it's a long journey but we have enough food for you" he looked at Visitant, "UH.... just pay for your food and drink and that will be fine.". I noded slowly and we walked on board............
