Ultima VI: The False Prophet/The Guild of Thieves

Contacting the Guild of Thieves

 * Homer the Buccaneer

"I once sailed on the ship called 'Empire', under Captain Hawkins."

He regards you warily. "Who sent you? I see." He screws his face up into an even more suspicious expression than before. "Just why do you want to know about it, anyway? You're not a member of the guild. I don't have to tell you anything."

"Go ask Budo. And you didn't hear that from me, understand?"


 * Budo the Guildmaster

Suddenly the good-natured bumbler that stood before you has been transformed into a shrewd, sharp, dangerous looking man. He leans forward staring straight into your eyes as he asks "Who sent you? Uh-huh. Well... Were you hoping to join?"

"All right, maybe you've got what it takes. We'll see. To be a member of the thieves' guild, you have to get your own belt. Now we have a limited membership, so there's only so many belts in the world. If you want one of them, you have to 'retire' a member of the guild. Lucky for you, it just happens there's a member we'd like to see 'retired' soon. Her hideout is deep below Britain, in the sewers. You'd best watch out for the rats down there! One last thing... It would be an embarrassment for the guild to have bodies turning up inconveniently. So don't get too violent unless you have to. I'll talk to you when you get back."
