Damn and blast. I broke into Khan’s place last night. I was certain that there would be enough loot in there to set me well on my journey. Alas Khan and a cronie or too were home and so I had to kill them. Which considering that he wanted me dead was not unreasonable. Unfortunatly his second in command Johnis caught me.

I thought I was dead for sure, but that Johnis, he is smarter than most, if not all.

“You saved me a lot of trouble killing Khan,” he said.

“A pleasure, now if you let me be on my way” I said, heading for the door.

“Hang on one minute.” Johnis said. “No, don’t worry, I aint going to kill you…yet”

“So whats the deal?” I asked.

“Simple, you see, I want to take over the thieves guild, but there is going to be some wrangling now Khan is dead.” he smiled at me, “you however will provide a perfect distraction.”

“What?”

Johnis handed me a small sack, gold by the jingle. “Run,” he said “run as far and as long as you can. I can have the guild chasing you down for as long as your life will be.” He smiled again, “That will give me enough time to get my power base all settled.” His grin broadened, “Good plan huh?”

“Yeh, great” I acknowleged dejectedly.

“Excellent, I’ll tell you what. I will give you ten hours head start.” he pointed at the door, “Go!”

And so here I am, heading out of the east gate and in three hours time I will have several members of the guild after me.

Lovely!
