Tiger - Venture Co.

Today was just one of those days...

I went to steal some pumpkins from a farm and it was piece of cake to sneak by the farmer though the bloody things can be heavy to carry. As i was about the leave i decided to look what the farmer had in his pockets - those bastards make nice money I've heard. So with a sword in one hand I snook up as silent as i could, slowly leaned in and just as i reached out my hand to get the goods, he turned around and looked strait into my eyes. Or... my eye sockets anyway. I couldn't move, as if his gaze had stunned me. I expected him to yell at his workers or at least run away but he just stood there. Then i realised that he didn't look at me but strait through me. He hadn't seen me after all, but he must have heard me.

That was a little too close so i decided to play safe and distract him a bit. I carefully took a small stone out of my pocket and threw it on the other side of the farmer. The trick worked and the farmer turned around, but as i threw the stone my foot slid and i fell hard to the ground. All disorientated i quickly got back on my feet and now the farmer was without a doubt looking at me. He was all pale in his face of something that looked like shock and smelled like fear. I realised that i had become visible but didn't understand why a small fall like that could reveal me. It was too late to rob the guy now so i swiftly ran away and luckily the farmer seemed pinned to the ground just starring at me.

As i ran i grinned to myself for the unfortunate happening, but felt good because i had managed to stash away some nice loot to come back for by nightfall. Granted i cant taste anything but i like the juiciness of the pumpkins. After a while I realised there was something awkward to the way i was moving and being in a safe distance to the farm i stopped to look down myself. There it was...my sword was stuck halfway into my body through the ribs and there was blood everywhere. I must have fallen on to the sword when i tripped and it pierced right through me. Since i don't feel pain and cant die from loosing blood this is no big deal for my health...but man was that embarrassing! That must have been why i became visible to the farmer and also why the farmer was so shocked by the sight of me.

I got a good grip at the end of the sword and by pulling as hard as i could i got the sword out in one try. When i came back to Undercity i told people it was human blood on my sword and my shirt. Nobody asked about the tear on my tabard. I'm definitely going back to the farm to pick up my loot, but I'm in no mood for pumpkins right now.
