Introduction in a novel
"While there were no direct proscriptions against working this particular house, the Thieves Guild had no record of the property ever having been hit. That, in itself, was odd: the Guild kept meticulous logs on housebreaking, detailing the take of every property so as to prevent infighting and assassinations when inevitable questions about shares and percentages arose.
"The little walled estate in the middle of the city should have been a prime target; each of its neighbors had been robbed regularly, every five years or so, for the last four generations. No dogs patrolled it's gardens, and the gardens themselves held only mundane flowers, herbs, and fruit trees--no poison-thorn bushes or man-eating bromeliads. Careful observation revealed a small compliment of men-at-arms; old soldiers all, no marks of exceptional or exotic training or signs of particular bloodthirstiness or ruthlessness. The minor Lord who owned the estate lived quietly and traveled frequently, probably on business.
"It should have been an easy score.
"Standard grappling hooks got the three novice thieves over the garden walls as the sun set, and the doors leading to the garden were unlocked in less than half a minute. They led to a wide kitchen where the thieves indulged in a moment or two of cupboard-raiding (old Lord Hawksword was particularly fond of Parisian chocolate bread, it seemed) before moving into the house.
"Lord Hawksword himself was seated at the dining-room table, apparently reviewing contracts. The young thieves stopped short in the doorway with an unbecoming clatter of grappling hooks, lockpicks, and weapons, surprised to see the man in residence.
"For his part, Lord Hawksword didn't seem surprised at all. 'Oh, hello,' he said in a pleasant voice, busily scribing with a short quill in the margins of one of the half-dozen sheets of vellum set before him. 'Give me just a moment to finish this note, hmm?'
"One of the thieves was already maneuvering to slip behind his chair, a rag in hand that dripped with a mild dose of knockout juice. Swiftly the thief reached for the man's collar with one hand, bringing the rag around to smother his mouth and nose.
"Neither of the other two novices really saw what happened next; in their official Guild report, they could only verify that their bolder companion went flying, and that upon inspection the knockout rag was forced between his teeth, rendering him instantly unconscious. Likewise neither was able to give any precise detail about how old Lord Hawksword--who was apparently not so old after all--managed to suddenly be across the room with a truncheon in each hand. All they could really say was that their training had been woefully inadequate when it concerned subduing Lords who lived deceptively simple lives but who could, it seemed, take a man apart with a wooden baton and never break a sweat.
"The three thieves were found at midnight in front of the Guild house, trussed up as neatly as fresh hams, one if them still lolling in the aftereffect of knockout juice. A note was pinned to the front of his shirt, writ in a fine hand: 'Not as good as last year's! Still, I appreciate the effort. Looking forward to next year!' "
