My first big test

[Trinitis]

Well, I desided to live on the edge today..my rogue did his first pull from someone that can cream him big time. I could not resist when he put the gem in his pack..I HAD to try for it..and, here it is.


Chomm put a smoky grey thunderstone in his leaf-patterned pack.

[Abandoned Farm, Parlor]
The bannisters are missing from the stairway leading upstairs from the parlor. As elsewhere in this house, everything is either broken or crushed. Tattered cloths droop from warped curtain rods over the arched windows. You also see a sturdy maoral trunk, a zombie and a stairway.

Large patches of the roof are missing, exposing the wattle framework. The wood floor is warped from the years of exposure to the elements. The air is heavy with the smell of mildew and decay. You also see a zombie.

[ThisOtherKingdom]

So another change to GS4 stealing is that being hidden now helps?

[JustMe]

If I remember correctly stealing from hiding increases your chance of being caught.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

You reach into Emislity's white longcloak and pull out a yellow sapphire.

You reach into Emislity's white longcloak and pull out a star ruby.

You reach into Emislity's white longcloak and pull out a blue crystal.

You reach into Emislity's white longcloak and pull out an emerald. [W00t!]

Then I went on to get about 5 black crystals, 2 white crystals, and 4 blue crystals from Kadumi.

Then 2 black crystals and an aquamarine gem from some wizard.

I also stole about 500 coins from Warclaidhm.

I had always heard it increases your chances. Anyone know if it got changed?

[StrayRogue]

Falgrin/ParkBandit would be the one to ask. I am still a relative noob to the stealing game compared to him.

[Artha]

I'm glad he wasn't around today...I cleaned out his park.

>steal garr
You couldn't find anything worth taking. Maybe you should offer Garr a donation instead.

[Xcalibur]

What I remember, hiding increase the change to get BETTER stuff but increase your change of being caught.

Of course i was a rogue in gs3, not in gs4

[Artha]

From my experience, you really don't need to hide, if you choose the right time/place.

[StrayRogue]

In the space of one night, I've confused, annoyed and stolen from Bob and Garr. Warclaidhm will make my hatrick.

[StrayRogue]

Lord Bobmuhthol just arrived.
>
Bobmuhthol swings a claidhmore at you!
You evade the attack!
>hide

That has made my night.

[StrayRogue]

What made it all the more better was that Bob couldn't kill my lvl 12 halfling, so he had to send a 25+ Wizard to get me. When he did eventually find me, he pretty much held me immobile in the middle of my hunting grounds while Bob was on his way. Heh, thankfully a grey orc did the job of killing before the tool could arrive, so I got fogged away and raised. Ah, such fun.

Stealing from hiding does not increase your chance of getting better stuff because you can actually specify what you want to steal: steal gem from mark cloak

Stealing from hiding lowers your chances of getting caught.
