Alard

00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:02,900
The Thief's Guild
2
00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:05,759
by Jake Kerr.
3
00:00:08,159 --> 00:00:09,539
Episode 6:
4
00:00:12,159 --> 00:00:12,899
Allard.
5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,119
Raylan set a brisk pace down the hallway as he
struggled to figure out whether he was
6
00:00:29,139 --> 00:00:31,059
angry, scared, or thrilled.
7
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,600
He reached the top of the staircase and paused.
What was he to do next?
8
00:00:36,639 --> 00:00:41,400
He had to find his new quarters, which were
presumably in the basement, but what
9
00:00:41,419 --> 00:00:46,020
about his future? Could he walk the streets openly
like Pietro?
10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,460
Would the people see him as a symbol and not an
actual thief?
11
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:55,579
Or would he be hated by everyone, a target for
abuse and anger?
12
00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:01,020
He also considered that this could turn out to be
the best possible result for
13
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:06,019
him. He wouldn't have to worry about harvesting
the crops, or smelting iron,
14
00:01:06,219 --> 00:01:09,079
or keeping accounts, or guarding the wall.
15
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:12,379
He could just wander the city like old Pietro.
16
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,619
The final thought made Raylan smile.
17
00:01:16,059 --> 00:01:20,539
He was thinking that his brother may have
unintentionally done him a favor.
18
00:01:21,139 --> 00:01:24,040
Of course, that didn't include the Founder's Day
parade.
19
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:29,259
Some people took the ritual punishment of the
thieves a bit too seriously, and Pietro
20
00:01:29,499 --> 00:01:31,579
had been injured several times.
21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,439
In the end, he didn't have much choice,
22
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:39,580
so he started down the steps, wondering where
Guildmaster Pietro had
23
00:01:39,639 --> 00:01:40,199
lived.
24
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:46,040
Larsen had said that his quarters would be in the
basement, but that could have just
25
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:48,859
been another way for him to humiliate Raylan.
26
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:54,059
Still, the thieves were the only guild without a
tower, and Raylan
27
00:01:54,119 --> 00:01:56,939
wasn't sure where Guildmaster Pietro lived.
28
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,599
He only saw him at the parade and a few times in
the market district.
29
00:02:02,199 --> 00:02:06,359
It was possible, however, that Pietro lived in the
merchant tower.
30
00:02:06,819 --> 00:02:11,419
It was huge, with plenty of ways in and out of the
various attached
31
00:02:11,459 --> 00:02:16,259
buildings. Plus, Raylan did remember hearing once
that Pietro
32
00:02:16,259 --> 00:02:18,819
lived under the sufferance of the Merchant Guild.
33
00:02:19,559 --> 00:02:24,519
He figured that the guard on duty would know, so
he hurried down the final steps
34
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:27,539
and approached the guard watching the front doors.
35
00:02:28,019 --> 00:02:32,199
It was Essil, who glared at Raylan coldly as he
approached.
36
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,619
Excuse me, uh, Essil, but can you tell me where
Guildmaster Pietro's quarters are?
37
00:02:37,619 --> 00:02:40,939
Guildmaster Pietro left this world two days ago.
38
00:02:41,739 --> 00:02:46,019
Raylan bowed his head, figuring that respect would
get him further than
39
00:02:46,059 --> 00:02:46,799
demands.
40
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,719
Essil frowned. He didn't seem disturbed by the
news.
41
00:02:51,379 --> 00:02:54,659
Ah. Yes, I'd heard that. I was wondering where his
living quarters are.
42
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:57,319
Looking to steal from the dead, are we?
43
00:02:57,779 --> 00:03:01,559
Essil walked toward him, placing his hand on the
pommel of his sword.
44
00:03:02,219 --> 00:03:05,979
You wear the brown and think that puts you outside
the reach of the guilds.
45
00:03:05,979 --> 00:03:08,259
He slid his sword out a few inches.
46
00:03:08,839 --> 00:03:13,079
But it doesn't. It makes you less than all of
them. We could all crush you (snaps fingers) like
that.
47
00:03:13,579 --> 00:03:18,439
Essil shoved his sword back into its sheath, a
sharp clang when the pommel
48
00:03:18,499 --> 00:03:20,979
hit the metal lip, underscoring his threat.
49
00:03:22,339 --> 00:03:24,919
Raylan would normally have slunk away.
50
00:03:25,379 --> 00:03:30,139
He had felt the flat of Essil's sword on his back
and legs enough times to
51
00:03:30,219 --> 00:03:35,119
know not to provoke him. But things were different
now, and he needed to learn
52
00:03:35,219 --> 00:03:40,139
more about his new position. He couldn't afford to
let Essil bully
53
00:03:40,139 --> 00:03:44,299
him around when he needed answers. And besides, he
was a
54
00:03:44,339 --> 00:03:45,559
guildmaster now.
55
00:03:46,079 --> 00:03:47,299
You should watch yourself, Essil.
56
00:03:47,679 --> 00:03:50,819
Raylan stood tall and squinted at the armed
guildsman.
57
00:03:50,819 --> 00:03:53,079
I won't be wearing brown much longer.
58
00:03:53,419 --> 00:03:55,799
Essil threw back his head and laughed.
59
00:03:55,799 --> 00:03:59,959
(laughs) Did your brother finally get you a
position cleaning manure?
60
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:04,839
As quickly as he had laughed, his face went cold
and he unsheathed his
61
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:05,439
sword.
62
00:04:05,539 --> 00:04:09,159
I don't care what color you'll be wearing.
63
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:12,499
You'll never be anything more than a pathetic
insect.
64
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:13,839
He raised his sword.
65
00:04:13,859 --> 00:04:14,759
Enough.
66
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:19,059
A deep, booming voice from the staircase behind
them echoed through the entry.
67
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:22,999
It was a voice used to giving commands and used to
having them followed.
68
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:26,099
Essil lowered his sword, and Raylan turned.
69
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:31,259
A tall figure in a flowing black robe, his face
lost in the shadows of the hood,
70
00:04:31,499 --> 00:04:33,059
stood with his arms crossed.
71
00:04:33,559 --> 00:04:35,199
This is not your business, Allard,
72
00:04:35,599 --> 00:04:39,759
Essil said, but his voice was weak and tentative
in the face of the visitor.
73
00:04:40,299 --> 00:04:43,879
The figure said nothing, but approached with
deliberate steps.
74
00:04:44,139 --> 00:04:45,979
He stopped in front of Essil.
75
00:04:46,559 --> 00:04:48,479
It is Deputy Allard, merchant.
76
00:04:48,799 --> 00:04:53,359
Essil slouched and the man in black kicked his
sword, which had dropped down and was
77
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:54,599
pointing to the floor.
78
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:57,539
Now put your toy away before I beat you with it.
79
00:04:57,539 --> 00:04:59,499
The man pointed at Raylan.
80
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,519
And don't ever speak that way to the guildmaster
again.
81
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:05,219
His voice sounded like a clenched fist.
82
00:05:05,219 --> 00:05:06,639
Guildmaster.
83
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:09,759
The man put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
84
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Do I need to tell you again?
85
00:05:12,059 --> 00:05:14,859
Essil scrambled back, sheathing his sword.
86
00:05:15,259 --> 00:05:20,119
He turned and returned to his position near the
great wooden doors, mumbling as
87
00:05:20,159 --> 00:05:20,719
he went.
88
00:05:21,359 --> 00:05:24,319
Allard reached up and tossed the hood of his robe
back.
89
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,899
His skin and eyes were a dark brown, almost black.
90
00:05:28,379 --> 00:05:31,339
He was bald, which made telling his age difficult.
91
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,199
He had some wrinkles, but not enough to mark him
as ancient.
92
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:40,659
His smooth pate was interrupted by a thick scar
that ran from the top of his
93
00:05:40,719 --> 00:05:42,759
head down to his left eyebrow.
94
00:05:43,379 --> 00:05:47,639
His brows were furrowed and his lips were turned
down in a slight frown.
95
00:05:48,579 --> 00:05:52,659
Raylan wasn't sure he had ever met a more
intimidating man in his life.
96
00:05:52,659 --> 00:05:57,059
I'm sorry I was not present at your meeting with
the guildmaster merchant, sir.
97
00:05:57,059 --> 00:06:00,779
He folded his arms across his chest and stood up
straight.
98
00:06:01,299 --> 00:06:03,439
It seems that they neglected to inform me of it.
99
00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:06,437
... he smiled and his face was transformed.
100
00:06:06,718 --> 00:06:09,517
His eyes sparkled, and his face glowed with
kindness.
101
00:06:09,517 --> 00:06:14,197
"You are my deputy?" Raylan asked, not quite
believing what he was seeing.
102
00:06:14,197 --> 00:06:19,057
"Indeed, I am." The smile remained. "I'm pleased
to
103
00:06:19,077 --> 00:06:20,197
meet you, Deputy Allard."
104
00:06:20,978 --> 00:06:23,417
Raylan grinned and made one of his rare bows.
105
00:06:23,637 --> 00:06:26,797
The deputy nodded in return, but otherwise didn't
move.
106
00:06:26,797 --> 00:06:30,997
"Larsen mentioned that Guildmaster Pietro lived in
this tower.
107
00:06:31,017 --> 00:06:35,777
Is that true?" "Did you mean Guildmaster Larsen?"
The deputy's
108
00:06:35,797 --> 00:06:40,657
smile faded a bit. Raylan immediately understood
his lapse in
109
00:06:40,678 --> 00:06:44,297
respect, and he appreciated Allard's understated
correction.
110
00:06:44,297 --> 00:06:48,737
"I'm sorry. Yes, I meant Guildmaster Larsen."
111
00:06:49,577 --> 00:06:54,457
Allard nodded. "Indeed, sir. The guild quarters
are in the basement of the north
112
00:06:54,537 --> 00:06:59,477
wing." That was where the kitchen and various
service personnel lived and worked.
113
00:06:59,978 --> 00:07:04,858
Raylan had never even been there. "I didn't even
know the guild had a basement," Raylan
114
00:07:04,878 --> 00:07:07,297
replied, more to himself than to Allard.
115
00:07:07,297 --> 00:07:12,078
"The north wing is the only part of the tower with
a basement, and it is rarely used."
116
00:07:12,078 --> 00:07:16,897
"Can you take me there?" "As you command, sir."
Allard pulled the hood over his
117
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:21,637
head and started walking to the east, where a
number of hallways from various
118
00:07:21,697 --> 00:07:23,417
wings of the building merged.
119
00:07:24,158 --> 00:07:29,037
Raylan still couldn't quite believe what was
happening, but every time he rubbed his
120
00:07:29,097 --> 00:07:33,498
eyes, the tall, ominous man in the black robe was
still there.
121
00:07:34,097 --> 00:07:38,777
It was hard to keep up with Allard's brisk pace,
and the fact that each step jarred
122
00:07:38,797 --> 00:07:41,218
Raylan's aching head only made things worse.
123
00:07:41,877 --> 00:07:45,437
They turned down the hallway that led to the north
wing and the kitchens.
124
00:07:46,117 --> 00:07:50,658
Just inside the archway that marked the entrance
to the north wing was a wooden door to the
125
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:55,637
left. It looked like a closet. It was unlocked,
and Allard
126
00:07:55,637 --> 00:07:59,477
pulled it open and stepped aside, motioning for
Raylan to enter first.
127
00:07:59,838 --> 00:08:02,717
Raylan shook his head. "This is all new to me.
128
00:08:02,737 --> 00:08:03,577
Please lead the way."
129
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,937
Allard nodded, but said nothing.
130
00:08:06,837 --> 00:08:11,577
Raylan followed him through the door, which opened
to cramped and rough-hewn stone
131
00:08:11,697 --> 00:08:16,577
steps leading down. The stairway was well-lit with
torches, and the floor
132
00:08:16,637 --> 00:08:17,897
and walls were dry.
133
00:08:18,497 --> 00:08:23,257
There were bits of wood and paper in the corners
of each step, although it wasn't very dusty.
134
00:08:23,677 --> 00:08:28,337
It looked clean, just unkempt. Their footsteps
echoed against the walls in the
135
00:08:28,437 --> 00:08:33,397
quiet. It didn't feel like the enforced quiet you
experienced in a church or a
136
00:08:33,457 --> 00:08:38,297
library. Rather, the walls were so close that
Raylan felt like he had to
137
00:08:38,317 --> 00:08:41,117
keep his voice down to avoid having it echo.
138
00:08:41,477 --> 00:08:46,157
The quiet walk to the quarters did have a certain
solemnity about it, and it
139
00:08:46,197 --> 00:08:48,617
reminded Raylan of the old guild master.
140
00:08:48,617 --> 00:08:53,537
"I'm sorry about Guildmaster Pietro." Allard
stopped and turned to face
141
00:08:53,557 --> 00:08:58,237
him. He was on a lower step, and yet his face was
still above Raylan's.
142
00:08:58,757 --> 00:09:03,377
He stood motionless for a moment, his face lost in
the shadows of his hood before
143
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:07,217
replying, "That was very kind of you, sir, and I
thank you for saying so.
144
00:09:07,957 --> 00:09:12,717
He was one of the greatest of the guildmaster
thieves." "I'm not sure I even understand what
that
145
00:09:12,777 --> 00:09:17,757
means, to be honest, Allard." Allard leaned close,
and for a second, Raylan thought that he
146
00:09:17,777 --> 00:09:22,597
had angered him. However, the deputy's voice
dropped to a whisper as he stated in a soft
147
00:09:22,657 --> 00:09:26,977
voice, "Few know of his achievements or his
greatness." Raylan didn't want to be
148
00:09:27,057 --> 00:09:30,797
disrespectful, but he was at a loss as to what
Allard could mean.
149
00:09:30,797 --> 00:09:33,237
"But I thought it was a ceremonial position."
150
00:09:34,277 --> 00:09:36,917
Allard reached out, and Raylan flinched.
151
00:09:37,137 --> 00:09:39,397
But all he did was pat him on the shoulder.
152
00:09:39,397 --> 00:09:44,157
"Making the city believe that a guild of thieves
doesn't exist is quite an achievement, don't you
153
00:09:44,157 --> 00:09:48,577
think?" Raylan relaxed a little. "Well, we know
thieves exist,
154
00:09:49,197 --> 00:09:53,897
but there's no such thing as a thieves guild."
Allard turned back to the steps before
155
00:09:53,897 --> 00:09:58,337
adding, "Exactly." The steps ended at a stone
hallway.
156
00:09:58,597 --> 00:10:03,137
Like the staircase, it was littered with broken
pieces of wood, along with
157
00:10:03,217 --> 00:10:06,357
paper and what looked like bits of pottery.
158
00:10:07,057 --> 00:10:11,797
More than anything, it looked like the entrance to
one of the warehouses near the craft guild.
159
00:10:12,417 --> 00:10:15,317
Along its length were plain wooden doors on each
side.
160
00:10:15,317 --> 00:10:20,057
"What is this place?" Raylan asked, looking around
at the bare hallway.
161
00:10:20,057 --> 00:10:24,897
"This is a small basement that is used for
storage, mostly things that have only
162
00:10:24,957 --> 00:10:28,297
been used once and are wrongly considered too
precious to dispose of.
163
00:10:29,117 --> 00:10:33,377
That room holds the embroidered linens from
Guildmaster Galwey's elevation ceremony."
164
00:10:33,997 --> 00:10:38,217
Raylan shook his head. Galwey was the guild master
before his brother.
165
00:10:38,697 --> 00:10:41,017
He was elevated over 20 years before.
166
00:10:41,017 --> 00:10:44,537
"And here we are." They reached the end of the
hall.
167
00:10:44,937 --> 00:10:49,857
A broad door faced them. It appeared to be solid
wood and was different
168
00:10:49,877 --> 00:10:54,757
than the other doors along the hall, but it lacked
the decorative pretension of the
169
00:10:54,837 --> 00:10:57,237
door to the guild master merchant office.
170
00:10:57,897 --> 00:11:00,477
A wooden stool sat next to it in the corner.
171
00:11:00,477 --> 00:11:05,397
"These are my quarters." Allard pointed to a
smaller door set in the wall to the
172
00:11:05,457 --> 00:11:10,417
right. He reached into the folds of his robe,
pulled out a ring of keys, and flipped through
173
00:11:10,437 --> 00:11:14,797
them. He unlocked the door and ushered them in. It
was a single room.
174
00:11:15,397 --> 00:11:18,417
It looked comfortable enough, and it was quite
large,
175
00:11:19,277 --> 00:11:22,897
but it was closer to an apprentice dorm than guild
master quarters.
176
00:11:23,737 --> 00:11:27,857
There was a fireplace in the back wall and a pair
of reading chairs set near.
177
00:11:28,157 --> 00:11:32,837
They faced each other with several books sitting
on a table next to the chair on the
178
00:11:32,897 --> 00:11:33,277
left.
179
00:11:34,017 --> 00:11:38,777
The floor was flagstone with a threadbare black
rug imperfectly covering
180
00:11:38,817 --> 00:11:39,057
it.
181
00:11:39,897 --> 00:11:44,237
To the left were bookshelves that stretched from
floor to ceiling and wall to wall.
182
00:11:44,617 --> 00:11:47,657
To the right was a small bed with black linens.
183
00:11:48,157 --> 00:11:53,077
To the immediate left of the entry door was a
replica of the thief statue from Founders
184
00:11:53,157 --> 00:11:58,037
Park, two thieves reaching into each other's
pockets with the inscription,
185
00:11:58,037 --> 00:12:00,777
"Honor among thieves," on the base below.
186
00:12:01,217 --> 00:12:06,157
An empty work table was shoved into the corner to
the right with two chairs pushed under
187
00:12:06,177 --> 00:12:10,497
it. After taking it all in, Raylan muttered,
"Seems a bit austere for a guild
188
00:12:10,537 --> 00:12:15,416
master."... we could move you to the Thieves'
Tower if you prefer." Raylan's jaw dropped,
189
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:20,435
and he turned to his deputy. "There is no Thieves'
Tower." Allard laughed.
190
00:12:20,435 --> 00:12:25,236
"Hah, of course there is. It has fallen from
memory over time, which I believe was
191
00:12:25,276 --> 00:12:29,856
Pietro's goal when he moved his living quarters
here." Raylan simply couldn't believe it.
192
00:12:30,035 --> 00:12:34,895
He had been over practically every part of Ness,
and he knew there was no such thing as a
193
00:12:34,935 --> 00:12:39,676
Thieves' Tower. "How long ago was that?" "It was
75 years ago.
194
00:12:40,195 --> 00:12:45,115
Pietro moved into Merchant Tower the same year he
was elevated." "Pietro was guildmaster
195
00:12:45,156 --> 00:12:49,316
for 75 years?" Raylan didn't even know anyone 70
years old.
196
00:12:49,316 --> 00:12:54,176
"Indeed. Your brother was the fourth guildmaster
merchant he had served with."
197
00:12:54,955 --> 00:12:57,295
Raylan walked over and sat on the bed.
198
00:12:57,915 --> 00:13:02,256
He knew Pietro was ancient, but he had trouble
comprehending someone, what,
199
00:13:02,555 --> 00:13:07,155
90, 95 years old? He looked up at Allard, who
stood just
200
00:13:07,176 --> 00:13:12,175
inside the doorway. "Where is the Thieves' Tower?"
"It is at the base of the mountain,
201
00:13:12,295 --> 00:13:13,995
where the Old Quarter meets the Ashfields."
202
00:13:14,595 --> 00:13:18,955
No wonder he or anyone he knew had never heard or
seen the tower.
203
00:13:19,315 --> 00:13:24,175
It was between the two most wretched areas of the
city, both across the Great River.
204
00:13:24,935 --> 00:13:29,535
No one from any guild crossed the river and
wandered through the desolate and dangerous
205
00:13:29,595 --> 00:13:34,435
Wretched Quarter, and the Ashfields were just
that, fields of dead crops and
206
00:13:34,515 --> 00:13:37,435
trees from over-farming during Ness' youth.
207
00:13:38,195 --> 00:13:42,635
The other side of the Great River wasn't even
considered part of the city anymore,
208
00:13:43,075 --> 00:13:46,915
even though it was inside the walls. Raylan shook
his head.
209
00:13:47,175 --> 00:13:51,875
He badly wanted to visit his guild tower, even
with its unfortunate location,
210
00:13:51,875 --> 00:13:55,715
but that would have to wait until later. He looked
around the room.
211
00:13:56,055 --> 00:13:58,155
It didn't look like anyone had ever lived there.
212
00:13:58,155 --> 00:14:02,875
"I assume Pietro's things have been removed."
"Yes, Guildmaster
213
00:14:02,955 --> 00:14:05,235
Pietro's belongings were removed this morning.
214
00:14:05,675 --> 00:14:08,475
Unfortunately, we haven't had time to bring in
fresh linens.
215
00:14:09,355 --> 00:14:13,875
Which reminds me, we will need to procure you
linens, clothing, and robes from the
216
00:14:13,935 --> 00:14:14,395
Clovers.
217
00:14:15,715 --> 00:14:20,615
It would probably do well to address that
immediately, as you ride in the Founder's Day
parade tomorrow.
218
00:14:21,115 --> 00:14:22,675
And you will need blankets for tonight."
219
00:14:23,335 --> 00:14:27,955
Raylan nodded, and looked around again. The books
were an interesting sight.
220
00:14:28,435 --> 00:14:33,315
He had never actually seen a book that wasn't used
for settling accounts, and there must have
221
00:14:33,335 --> 00:14:37,915
been dozens on the shelves. The rest of the room
was decidedly shabby though,
222
00:14:38,195 --> 00:14:40,615
and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
223
00:14:41,035 --> 00:14:46,015
He knew that his brother was punishing him, and
that the guildmaster thief was nothing more
224
00:14:46,055 --> 00:14:50,975
than a laughingstock, but certainly he could at
least have a bed that was better than the
225
00:14:51,055 --> 00:14:52,755
one he was leaving behind.
226
00:14:53,575 --> 00:14:58,055
All in all, any hope that being a guildmaster
would provide him with luxury were
227
00:14:58,055 --> 00:14:58,575
dashed.
228
00:14:59,595 --> 00:15:04,115
Raylan's head still hurt, so he dropped it to the
pillow and stretched out on the bed.
229
00:15:04,735 --> 00:15:08,735
He was starting to rethink his initial excitement
over his new position.
230
00:15:09,035 --> 00:15:13,555
He had a title, but one that was a source of
amusement and scorn throughout
231
00:15:13,595 --> 00:15:14,095
Ness.
232
00:15:14,715 --> 00:15:19,675
He had some new clothes, but they would be black,
a color possibly worse than the brown of the
233
00:15:19,755 --> 00:15:24,695
guildless. He had privacy, but the price was
rather depressing living quarters in the
234
00:15:24,715 --> 00:15:26,915
basement of his brother's guild tower.
235
00:15:27,275 --> 00:15:32,015
And while he had never had particular luck with
girls, he doubted he'd have any chance
236
00:15:32,075 --> 00:15:32,415
now.
237
00:15:33,235 --> 00:15:37,915
He sighed. "Thinking of the parade?" Raylan had
forgotten that Allard was
238
00:15:37,955 --> 00:15:42,255
still there. The deputy stood straight and
motionless near the door.
239
00:15:42,715 --> 00:15:46,335
His arms were clasped behind his back. His hood
remained up.
240
00:15:46,735 --> 00:15:49,655
Raylan laughed, but it was a laugh full of
bitterness.
241
00:15:49,655 --> 00:15:53,835
"No, I hadn't yet gotten to that on my list of
things to be concerned about."
242
00:15:54,595 --> 00:15:59,175
He thought about the Founder's Parade and the
tradition of the populace taking their
243
00:15:59,255 --> 00:16:03,455
frustration out on thieves by pelting their
guildmaster.
244
00:16:03,995 --> 00:16:08,815
Few took as great a pleasure in that tradition as
he had, but now it didn't
245
00:16:08,855 --> 00:16:12,535
seem quite so amusing. He looked at Allard.
246
00:16:12,535 --> 00:16:17,455
"So I guess I just sit in the cage and smile as I
get showered in fruit and vegetable pulp."
247
00:16:17,455 --> 00:16:22,255
"That was how Guildmaster Pietro handled it."
Raylan realized he was being
248
00:16:22,355 --> 00:16:27,235
rude relaxing while his deputy stood at attention,
so he pulled himself up.
249
00:16:27,855 --> 00:16:32,515
The movement sent waves of pain through his head,
however, so he remained
250
00:16:32,615 --> 00:16:34,595
seated. "There's another way?"
251
00:16:35,235 --> 00:16:39,515
Raylan pictured a straw man wrapped in the black
robe of the Thieves' Guild.
252
00:16:39,515 --> 00:16:43,115
"You could stand on the wagon without a cage."
(laughs)
253
00:16:43,115 --> 00:16:46,515
Raylan laughed. He knew that some citizens threw
rocks.
254
00:16:49,235 --> 00:17:16,015
(dramatic music)
