What the bloody hell are
you doing in here? Get
out!

I don't think you quite

Oh, how nice to see you
again. Do you have a

Bloody fine job making it
through the defenses,
mate! I'm rather
impressed. Toss me your

like that! What's your

Stupid! Oh. I'm so

this way. Ah, well, our
little Circle will just
have to carry on without
your scintillating
presence. So sad.
Jasmine, the door for our
guest. And no return
privileges, hmm?
loxley27->loxley32
My resignation. I decided
not to take your stupid
test.
loxley33
Then what the bloody,
bloody hell are you doing
here? Shoo! Go away.
Only this time come back
with the necklace.
loxley27->loxley33
I didn't get it yet.
loxley27a
loxley27->loxley27a
Here's the necklace . . .
loxley22
This is the famous
Thieves' Circle! I
thought you would've
known this, seeing's how
you made it through all
the defenses and whatnot.
But no matter. You're
quite promising, and the
Circle could use someone
like you.
loxley01->loxley22
What is this place?
loxley01a
loxley01->loxley01a
What's it to you?
loxley01b
loxley01->loxley01b
You got a real
interesting accent, my
friend.
loxley01c
loxley01->loxley01c
You talk like an idiot.
loxley90
Well, [Derisive sound],
how did a total moron,
such as yourself, get
past my defenses? Sorry,
no idiot savants allowed,
we like good conversation
here. Jasmine, show our
drooling friend the door
please.
loxley01->loxley90
Nuhhh?
loxley25
I don't like you. Don't
know why, don't care.
loxley24->loxley25
What did I do? Why so
hostile?
loxley26
Thanks for such a lovely
moment. Jasmine, show
our guest out.
loxley24->loxley26
To be away from you.
loxley24a
loxley24->loxley24a
Hey, I'm on your side.
I'm here as a friend.
loxley00a
Why, thank you. Have to
work a bit to keep it
with so little refinement
about, don't you know.
But enough of that.
Loxley's the name. And
yours is?

I'm

loxley00a1
loxley00a->loxley00a1
What's it to you?
loxley00a->loxley22
What is this place?
loxley21
What's it to me? It's
simple, really. Tell me
your name, or we show you
the door.

Okay. I'm

loxley22->loxley02_1
No thanks. I would like
to ask you some
questions, though.
loxley04
Quite simple, really.
You prove yourself as a
thief. Succeed, and the
world is yours! If not,
then you'll never see us
again. Except if you
come looking. And if you
don't understand, that
last bit is a threat.
loxley22->loxley04
Okay, what do I have to
do?
loxley10
Oh, quite the little
attitude! But, we're all
friends here, aren't we?
loxley22->loxley10
Not a chance.

Quite pleased to make
your acquaintance
actually...for now.
Let's get the other bit
of politeness taken care
of, shall we? What the
bloody, bloody, bloody
hell are you doing here!
loxley03
Oh, how nice. A joiner.
Well, you've worked hard
enough for a look-see.
But if you really want to
join, then you'll have to
take the Second Test.
loxley02->loxley03
I want to join the
Circle.
loxley02->loxley02_1
I need to ask you a few
things.
loxley18
Ha ha ha. Ooh, that's
quite amusing. Take us
to jail, will you? And
how, may I ask, do you
plan this feat?
loxley02->loxley18
I'm taking you all off to
jail.
loxley03->loxley04
What's that?
loxley03a
loxley03->loxley03a
Sounds scary . . . How
about I pass?
loxley17
Haven't figured it out
yet, have we? The First
Test was just getting
here! That's the only
reason I'm considering
you.
loxley03->loxley17
Uh . . . what was the
first test?
loxley08
That's it? A few
questions! Well, you're
either incredibly brave
or a total moron. Ask
away, ask away!...and
then we'll show you to
the door, shall we?
loxley02_1->loxley08
loxley09
You must be joking! You
think I'd fall for a line
like that! Get out, you
commoner!
loxley02_1->loxley09
loxley12
Ooh, a little back and
forth. I like someone
who plays the edge. I
think you'll be a great
addition to our merry
little band. What say
you?
loxley18->loxley12
Well, maybe I'll let you
off this time.
loxley18a
loxley18->loxley18a
Just come along quietly
and no one will get hurt.
loxley34
loxley08->loxley34
loxley09->BigDownReact
loxley09->loxleyx1
loxley05
It's so, so simple. In
the Heights you'll find
Daren Hightower's home
all plump and ripe for
the picking. Are you
ready for life! Do you
accept the challenge?
loxley04->loxley05
What's the test?
loxley04a
loxley04->loxley04a
Do you mean you'll move
this whole place if I
fail, or try to kill me.
loxley04->loxley10
Are you threatening me?
loxley16
Oh, no. I'm so afraid.
Life is so hard. Loxley,
I'd rather be a coward
for all of my life than
to have a single moment
of triumph. Ah, just
another wanker, aren't
you. Out!
loxley03a->loxley16
loxley03a->DownReact
loxley17->loxley02_1
Well, all I need to do is
ask you a few questions.
loxley17->loxley05
What's the next test?
loxley06
No, it hurts my ears.
---
Why, thank you. Have to
work a bit to keep it
with so little refinement
about, don't you know.
But enough of that.
Loxley's the name. And
yours is?
---
That's the spirit, mate!
---
That's the spirit, luv!
loxley17->loxley06
Okay, I'll do whatever
you want!!
loxley05->loxley06
I'm ready!
loxley07
Well, then why the bloody
hell are you here?
Sightseeing? The
ambiance? My handsome
face?
loxley05->loxley07
Hell, no!
loxley14
Oh, what do you take me
for? If you want cold
blooded murder, talk to
Decker and his lot. If
you fail, which seems
much more likely at this
point, we will simple
disappear. Now, then
care to try or not?
loxley04a->loxley14
loxley04a->DownReact
loxley11
Ohhh, broken heart. Our
chance for camaraderie
lost. [Sigh] Jasmine,
show this little sod the
door.
loxley10->loxley11
I don't see why.
loxley10->loxley12
Your're right. I'm sorry.
loxley06b
Just talk to Jasmine in
the room outside this
chamber. She'll give you
details, a map, and a few
little goodies to help
you on your way. But
remember, if you even
think about ratting us
out to the cops, we'll be
a memory before they
arrive. But enough
gloom. Cheerio, good
luck, and ta-ta!
loxley06->loxley06b
loxley07->loxley03
You're right, I'd like to
join the Circle.
loxley07->loxley02_1
No, I came to ask you a
few questions.
loxley07a
loxley07->loxley07a
Certainly not the face.

loxley34->loxleyx1
What is this place?
loxley34_1
loxley34->loxley34_1
Anything interesting go
on around here?
loxley43
Well, you've got the
usual numbers of shops
and things. Mix in some
Children of the Cathedral
nut cases. Add a dollop
of Decker and his
underground making life
hard for us all. Top it
with a sprinkle of greedy
merchants and that will
just about cover it.
loxley34->loxley43
Tell me about the Hub.
loxley51
Other than the missing
caravans, not much. Oh,
wait. One of my lads
came back yesterday all
a-glow with a touch of
radiation poisoning.
Nasty business. Probably
tip-toed a bit too close
to the old Hot Spot.
loxley34->loxley51
Heard any good rumors
lately?
loxley34_2
loxley34->loxley34_2
Tell me more about the
Circle.
loxley55
You could check with the
merchants, although your
time would be better
spent sizing them up for
some night removal work.
While I think it's
absolute bunk, ask around
about the Death Claw. Or
even follow a caravan
out, if you've totally
lost your mind.
---
Well, how the bloody hell
should I know? Do I look
like a merchant?
loxley34->loxley55
I'm looking for the
missing caravans. Any
suggestions?
BigDownReact->ReactToLevel
loxley11->BigDownReact
loxley11->loxleyx1
loxley12b
Okay!
loxley12->loxley12b
Okay!
loxley13
Oh, bosh and bother.
Well, quite sorry to hear
that, actually. You
would've made a fine
thief. But the Circle's
not for the terminally
stupid. So, Jasmine,
show our guest the door,
please.
loxley12->loxley13
I say you're a total
lunatic.
loxley12b->loxley06
loxley13->BigDownReact
loxley13->loxleyx1
loxley14->loxley05

Not.

loxley18a->DownReact
loxley21->loxley10

Well, you made it through
my defenses so you
certainly have skills.
What's your name?

I'm

loxley23->loxley22
What is this place?
loxley23a
loxley23->loxley23a

loxley23b

friend.

But enough of that.
Loxley's the name. And
yours is?
---
Ha! Ha! Well, done!
Congratulations. You're
now a member of the world
famous Thieves' Circle.
Let's get Jasmine over
here, and throw a topper,
shall we?
loxley27a->loxley29
loxley30
Oh, how funny. I really
must tell you, though,
that I don't care much
for this kind of a joke.
Kind of a chuckle. Kind
of a
put-one-over-on-the-old-Loxley
thing huh. Tell you
what. One more chance.
Bring the necklace here.
loxley27a->loxley30
loxley31
You're really just a
complete pain in the ass,
aren't you?

loxley29->UpReact
loxleyx3
loxley29->loxleyx3
UpReact->ReactToLevel
loxley31->loxleyx1
loxley35
Well, the whole bloody
town's in an uproar, what
with the missing caravans
and all. Something of a
pain. Cuts into the
Circle's business, don't
you know?
loxley34_1->loxley35
loxley40
Nothing you'd be
interested in.
loxley34_1->loxley40
loxley42
Oh, just the usual. The
merchant caravans get fat
off the poor, while that
villain Decker plays off
everyone.
loxley34_1->loxley42
loxley44
Too right! That's why
the Circle was formed,
you see. You got all
those rich buggers,
feeding off the poor.
And those poor are just
waiting for a hero.
Because of the help we
give them, they
practically bow at our
feet.
loxley43->loxley44
Merchants are pretty much
scum, huh?
loxley43a
Next question, please.
loxley43->loxley43a
Sounds like you're a real
Decker supporter.
loxley51->loxley34
loxley53
We steal from the rich,
plain and simple. We
give about, oh, ten to
twenty percent to the
poor folks over in Old
Town. The Circle keeps
twenty, which leaves the
rest for the thief. Not
a bad deal all round.
loxley34_2->loxley53
loxley54
We're a bunch of crooks!
What did you think we
were, a bunch of cooks?
loxley34_2->loxley54
loxley36
I don't know, but I hope
they find out soon.
People are edgy and it
makes our job a bit more
sticky, say what? Not to
mention all the
superstitious nonsense
floating about.
loxley35->loxley36
Do you know who might be
responsible?
loxley35_1
loxley35->loxley35_1
Thanks. Can I ask you
some more questions?
loxley39
No, actually. You had
one. Consider yourself
lucky. Goodbye, ta-ta.
loxley40->loxley39
Okay, thanks. Can I ask
you a few more questions?
loxley41
Oh nothing. Just the
whole damn town's been up
in arms with all the
missing caravans. That's
all.
loxley40->loxley41
Try me.
loxley42->loxley34
loxley53->loxley34
loxley54->loxley34
loxley36->loxley35_1
Thanks. Can I ask you
some more questions?
loxley37
Oh, some bosh and bother
that the Death Claw
grabbed the caravans, and
brought them up to its
lair for an afternoon
tea.
loxley36->loxley37
What kind of nonsense?
loxley38
Oh, absolutely. We're
all friends here.
---
[Sigh] Why not?

Ask away, ask away.

Gee, thanks. Can I ask
you a few more questions?
loxley44a
loxley44->loxley44a
What's wrong with making
money?
loxley44b
loxley44->loxley44b
Just like Robin Hood.
loxley43a->loxley34
loxley47
What's the harm?! you
little...well, I was
wrong about you, wasn't
I? Jasmine, show this
merchant's boot licker
the door!
loxley44a->loxley47
loxley44a->DownReact
loxley44b->UpReact
loxley48
You know the story! I
knew there was something
special about you. Ah,
me granddad told that one
a long time ago. Now
there was a thief! But
enough of that. Anything
else you need to ask?
loxley44b->loxley48
loxley47->loxleyx1
loxley48->loxley34
loxley56
Couple of ground rules.
One, don't ever get
caught, and two, never,
ever steal from the
Circle. Put it down.
loxley60
You see, it's like I
said...
loxley61
Well, as I said...
loxley62
Are you just thick? I
told you...

loxley00->loxley00aa

loxley00->loxley00ab
No, it hurts my ears.
loxley63
Which are you, deaf or
stupid? Like I said...
loxley64
It's no fun repeating
myself.
loxley65
Ugh! It's no use.
Obviously no amount of
pounding can possibly get
that information into
your thick skull.
loxley66
No. Decker's a slick
one. He's got the whole
town in his pocket, he
does. He gives his
'protection' to the
merchants, all the while
pitting them against each
other. Not someone you
want to mess with, but he
can usually be found in
the Maltese Falcon.
loxley67
He's a gun dealer up in
the north part of Old
Town. Damn dangerous
bloke, some of his
hardware's a bit too
lethal.
loxley68
Not too fond of us
actually.
loxley69
Harold? He's a good
enough sort, for being a
ghoul an all. Lives on
the south side.
loxley70
Decker's right hand man,
definitely not one to
mess with. You can
usually find him at the
Maltese Falcon.
loxley71
Them. Sitting high and
mighty in their Water
Tower south of downtown,
charging all us decent
folks for any drop of
water that springs from
the ground. They should
all be bloody shot, they
should.
loxley72
They have a little
general shop downtown.
Can't trust'em, though.
Hiding in their bloody
warehouse most of the
time. They do sell some
mean chems and medkits,
though. A lot cheaper
than the stupid Children
of the Cathedral, I can
tell you that.
loxley73
The closest thing to
decent of all the three
caravans. Only missed it
by a few miles.
loxley74
Criminals. Absolute
criminals. They're
squeezing the life out of
the town. The Far Go
Traders, the Crimson
Caravan, and the worst of
the bunch, the Water
Merchants. You can have
the lot.
loxley75
It's down in the middle
of town.
loxley76
Not much to tell, really.
Nighttime, scare your
children stories about a
beastie living up north
and feeding on the flesh
of bad little children
everywhere.
loxley77
Seems like every day
another one turns up
missing. People are
afraid to leave town
without protection. Some
even blame it on the
Death Claw.
loxley78
About three years ago,
one of the merchants went
way down south looking
for other towns. He came
back all hair and teeth
falling out, babbling
about some huge span of
radiation. Who knows,
maybe something special
down there before the
war.
loxley79
Most of the poor who work
for the merchants live
here, in buildings so
thin they don't block the
sun. Meanwhile, those
rich bastards are
comfortable in their nice
homes over in the
Heights. Makes me ill.
loxley80
Fancy buildings. Bought
with the blood of the
poor.
loxley81
You can always find Bob
in the direct center of
the Merchant's Market.
He'll probably be selling
those Iguana Bits of his
till he keels over dead.
loxley82
Now there's a scary
bunch. They strut around
all day talking about
their Night God, as if
he's the next best thing
since merchant pockets
with holes. They can
heal you up pretty cheap.
I'll give'em that. You
can find'em in that
hospital of theirs
downtown.
loxley83
Oh, another bunch of
wackos. They sit up in
their big black fortress
to the north, just
waiting for another war.
loxley84
Need to be a bit careful
there. The Rippers and
the Blades like to carve
you up just for fun.
While the town there,
Adytum, just tries to
stay alive. If you find
yourself traipsing around
there and happen on the
Blades, make sure to say
cheers to Razor for me.
Thinking of her brings
back memories, it does.
loxley85
They're the scrapheads
down in the Boneyard.
They've been fighting for
years, and they don't
even know what for
anymore. Bloody stupid
it is.
loxley86
Oh, what a woman! She
used to be a thief here,
until she decided to move
down south to the
Boneyard. Last I heard
she joined up with the
Blades. Ah, well, brains
weren't her strongest
part.
loxley87
Hmm, I haven't the
foggiest.
loxley88
I really don't know.
loxley89
Hmm. Haven't a clue
actually.
loxley91
Talk to Jasmine and
she'll fill you in on the
details.
