Planet Knob-umps Part 3
Ser Scartchpad and the guild of
Thieves.

Ser Scartchpad moved slowly to the front of the chapel, as he approached he saw a small red haired fox standing half hidden in the shadows ,and he appeared to be bound and blindfolded.

Upon hearing the newcomer approach Freeman took from his pocket the letter he had, and openly offered it.Ser Scratchpad took the letter from Freeman Swifthand and with swift hands(his own not the sly looking red haired fox's)opened it.

The second letter was written in a much nearer script then the mysterious and anonymous first one. Although this letter was still mysterious and probably anonymous,a flowing easily readable style penned in gold ink.

"Dear Ser"
Standing before you is the infamous "Freeman sly Swifthand" the titular head of the secret "Guild of Thieves". We know his capture will put a feather cap,beret,hat hood or whatever it is you wear.

He is yours to do as will, in return all we ask is that you legitimise our guild by making it part of your guild fraternity.

Think of the benefits this will bring to your organisation. As a legitimate member we will be subject to the extortionate levies you rip your members off with,and we will be bound by your laws. We will be in a much better position to offer our services.Legally of course to other members,at a discounted rate. So selfless of us don't you think.

Oh another thing there is a 25,000 piddles bonus for yours truly, should you accept of course. Failure on the other hand would leave us no choice but to greatly increase our activities, particularly among your guild members, which belive me when I say will be bad, VERY BAD,for you and the other members of your council. You have 48 hours to comply.You have been warned!!.
Mr?????.

Ser Scartchpad smiled ,he knew a chance when he saw one,and he knew that today Lady Luck had definitely jumped into bed with him ,and he liked her style of love making.

"Order honourable gentlemen" he said " today is a great day for all of you scoundrels,rogues, theives,and footpads alike" he held aloft a parchment , before continuing "I have here an official contract that grants us membership to the, Fraternity of Guilds."This comrades and brothers is our.passport to domination,power,and vast wealth for all of us.I salute you honourable rogues".

A great cheer went up followed by thunderous applause as High seer Jackass smirked as he thought to himself "now who,s s Jackass my foolish friend,you see Scratchpad will soon be imprisoned for a very long time charged with taking bribes and fraud, while me and my new wife Miss Spelling will be busy running the religions, the economy ,the underworld, and all things great and small. Have a happy life "Ser".
