I actually thought Alterock was a decent guy. I used to have frequent conversations with him 4-5 years ago when I was playing back then... turns out I might be wrong. So, I was walking through Thrak's and see two marks that I have been able to take quite a few gems from in the past, so I decide I could always use a few more deeds. There's also somebody I don't recognize: Eiroc.
I lift the gems from my normal marks and grab three gems from Eiroc. After a fourth attempt, I couldn't grab again, meaning he saw me. I hid and sort of waited it out for a moment... nothing. "Safe," I assume. I head into the Park to see if anyone is casting or if there are any marks. There are none of the above. However, the following ensues:
Eiroc just arrived.
Eiroc just went north.

I immediately assume the worst and believe he's looking for me, so I hide. He doesn't search a single time, but then this happens:
Alterock just arrived.

You see Alterock the Thief.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to be very young and average height. He has bright grey-green eyes and fair skin. He has raggedly cut, brown hair with lighter streaks.
He has a gold-traced deathstone ring in the upper ridge of his left ear, a placid cow tattoo on his chest, a tiny pink elephant tattoo on his wrist, a placid cow tattoo on his chest, a broken white skull tattoo on his chest, and a deep black deathstone spike in his lip.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a long-handled horseman's axe in his right hand.
He is wearing a gold ring, a crystal amulet, a well-tailored assassins cloak woven of fine black-as-night cotton gauze that appears to conceal the wearer in a shadow, a pair of black leather half-gloves tipped at the end of each finger with iron guards, some blackened veniom cufflinks, a strip-woven suede unity armband, a brass-bound kobold skin Adventurer's Guild badge, an ivy-etched silver wedding band, a dark leather locksmith's toolkit, a spike imbedded gem sack, a pair of badly mud-stained dark leather trousers with an albatross-shaped ivory buckle, some steel-toed black leather boots, and a soot-covered krodera shield.

Someone screams, "Murder by Alterock! Call the night watchman!"
>hide
You are a ghost! You must wait until someone resurrects you, or you decay. Either way, it won't be long now! (HELP for more details).
Alterock says, "Bitch."
The night watchman stops as a deputy trots in. They have a quiet conversation before both turn around, drawing their weapons.
With great ease, the night watchman grabs Alterock and shackles his wrists.
"Ah-ha! The boys at Helga's said I might find something interesting here," says the night watchman.
The night watchman then drags him off.
... is this normal, now? Or did I catch him on a bad day?
