private Thieves guild

[Lightning-flickr 214]

Well copy and pasty isn't working on my computer right now, but basically the main story is that you need to steal a lot of money, or thing to get you money, to get to Ponyville. There is a special cloaking armor that you need to steal to get the diamond. In canterlot, that's heavily guarded. You know the sign up so if you have question the answer might be there, if not ask me.

 

I'll start off the story, but I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh yes, when you make your first post please do state your name and special talent.

 

 

You sit in the lounge planning on your next target. The Thieves guild have their own hideout/base. It's fairly large. Probably because it was a warehouse. It was abandoned a few years ago then someone used as a hideout for their guild.The Thieves Guild.

 

Shadow Dust look at a map of Las Pegasus. The Guild already stole from 6 places. They had a organized list of their target, they were probably going to add a bunch more though.

 

List

5 Gas Station| 2 robbed

3 grocery store| 1 robbed

10 random people on the street| 3 robbed

2 weapon shops| 0 robbed

1 bank|0 robbed

 

They still has a lot of places to rob. They were a so far from their goal, stealing the diamond in Canterlot.

They has to go to Ponyville first, but the train ride cost so much. That's why they were robbing/stealing stuff in Las Pegasus. Shadow Dust was sorta the leader. She hated being the leader, but she made the guild so, she was the leader. She told the new recruits to not treat her as leader as much as they would to anypony. Just when they needed help. She liked balanced team with no powerful leader. Although she did have the perfect cutiemark/ special talent for the job. She could blend in with shadows and darkness. That was enough think about her and the team. She got up and walked out of the lounge. The warehouse looked abandoned, but with all the money the inside looked very cool and was kind of like a small mansion. They had bathrooms, 1 lounge, a planning room, and much more. They had a weapon room, but all they had was 3 knifes. They weren't prepared to rob a weapon shop yet. Soon though. The new members of the guild have not met each other yet. Shadow called all the member to the lounge. It was time to meet everypony.

 

P.S: 

madpenguin44 is leader, I just restarted the post

@Lightning-flickr

Hey guys make sure to thank Lightning-flickr. I couldn't set up the thing so this wouldn't have been possible without him. I already made my first post so start posting everypony! The post below the list of places we need to rob is the beginning of the story.

Lightning flicker: special talents, throwing knifes and a keen eye.

Lightning flicker waited in a small room crowed with other ponies. He looked round and sized them all up. He sat there in a chair (he was one of the luckier ponies who got there early enough to actually have a seat) and played with one of his few remaining knifes. He peered over the shoulder of another pony into the next room and saw a map with X's and circles all over it. He'd already planned his next move.

Cryptical Code Special Talents: Stealth and Magic. (Leaning more on Stealth, which includes killing of course, and Magic as a secondary attribute that enhances stealth, but can still do other things.)

 

Cryptical Code took seat in a particular spot that he had designated the best. It certainly wasn't comfortable, but such trivial and self-indulgence could wait after this. The first impressions were always the best and he intended not to display laziness or any attributes related to that. He had his stiletto (Piercing knife.) pocked within his suit, another stiletto, although much smaller, was well concealed within his fedora. he was a ready stallion that could respond to action, and he already made plans in case if anything goes awry here.

Everypony started settling in she had an important announcement to make, so she needed everypony to settle down and meet each other first. Shadow heard 2 ponies already introduce themselves to the guild. Once everypony, or at least most of them introduced themselves she would announce the big news that she had had been dying to tell them since they joined.

Dead Eye: Talents: Expert Marksman and recon officer, Extraordinary deductive skills(As indicated by his cutie mark of an eye),  Magic eye implant(Increases overall accuracy)

 

Dead Eye was walking down the street with his usual stoic look on his face. He never really did show any kind of emotion towards anyone. Probably because of his line of work. Being a  professional thief did have its perks, but it was a lonely job, not that he cared much at all.

 

He was contacted by some Mare with a job offer, How she found him was beyond him. One of his fences probably talked about him, something that he should rectify very soon. Once he heard about this team of thieves she was putting together, he was skeptical, but agreed in the end. "I'd be able to get more money anyway." He said to himself. He turned the corner and saw the place where he was headed, the abandoned warehouse. "Looks sketchy enough." He said to himself as he crossed the threshold and made his way up to the door. "This is it." He said as he opened the door and walked through. He Immediately saw a few ponies sitting at a table and decided to take a seat as well.

End Game: Talents: Explosives, safecracking, and overall security circumvention

 

End Game sits near the corner of the common room, idly tinkering with a detonator. He looks around in disappointment in the lack of equipment that the guild had to work with. As soon as he hears the call to gather he sits at the table.

[Demirari 454]

Cryptical Code waited patiently, he didn't move a bit as he waited for the guild leader to speak. Cryptical Code's eyes glanced around the room once, picking up any ponies of interest that he may want to converse or learn more about. Call him paranoid, but he can hardly trust any one of these until they prove their trustfulness to him in some way or form. 

Then he noticed that a pony did just come in and took a seat. Maybe a form of interest, but he pushed the pony back into the depths of his mind. Then his eyes glanced at another pony in the far corner, from what he can see, it appears that the pony was tinkering around with something. Interesting, Cryptical Code thought to himself, he was a bit interested in what the pony was doing, but glanced away, best not to raise any eyebrows right now. 

[Lightning-flickr 214]

Lightning flicker sat at the table and didn't look up. With his mane hanging over his eyes, he could see everypony but they couldn't see his face. He saw no reason to look up. He'd already sized everpony up, no one was saying anything interesting and he was rather invested in his knife he was playing with. After a while he got bored of playing one hoof roulette after realizing the only reason it was hard on the show "my little human" was because they couldn't just stab from side to side. He glanced up to check the map again, just making sure one of them was a weapons store he'd planned to rob for a while. Just about to look down again he noticed the pony across from him was staring at him.

Shadow Dust cleared her throat. *ahem*

"Well now that your all settled in my name is Shadow Dust. I am the one who asked you join or you came to me to asked to join. Well anyways hopefully you all know all each other. Just in case though I will call out everypony's name.

"Well that's all of you. Here at the guild you must trust me, and other fellow thieves. I am hoping no pony is planning on backstabbing us. If somepony is I suggest that you leave because if you betray us we will hunt you down. Well now that I'm done lecturing you I have exciting news for most of you. We are going on a group raid. I have noticed some of you looking at the map of Las Pegasus.

There is a weapon shop circled. Yes we are robbing that store. We will have daily meetings here and talk or plan. For this first meeting I wanted to make a great first meeting, so I'm going to let us plan together. I have not studied the weapon shop at all and I don't even know what they sell there. That is when you guys come in. You don't have to do this , but I didn't mention this to you. I will be giving you 5 ranks and doing stuff for the guild, for teammates, or for me can help your rank. You all will start on rank 1: Pickpocket. I will tell you the other ranks later. So doing this will help you rank. You can take notes on the shop or just tell me. Also you can ask other members of the guild for notes you don't have and i'll give credit for everyone who has that note, as long as it is valid. You are now dismissed, however if you want to stay here and chat for a while or have question then please do stay here. 2 more things, once we have enough info, we'll plan the raid in the planning room.

Finally I will tell you the ranks"

1. Pickpocket (For people who say it's pickpocketer, that's not a word.)

2. Thief

3. Raider

4. Robber

5. Silent Bandit  ( Is that a good name for top rank? Message me for cooler ones!)

 

(Hope you aren't mad about the surprise ranks, I wanted it to be a surprise XD )

Lightning flicker smiled.He'd been going to that store for weeks. he memorized all of it. 

isle 1: magazines, catalogs and small hoof books on how to use equipment.

isle 2:  small knife sets and practice wands.

left side of the store: the counter went round the left side of the store to the back. The left side was were they kept the swords and spears.

back of the store: The back counter at the store was the greatest thing about it. Loads of weapons, knifes, swords, spears, wands, axes and just about every weapon you could want. And the best part? The ones at the back are all magically enchanted! The damage this guild could do with those he though. 

he walked over to shadow dust and told her. He didn't want to announce it to the group because wasn't ready to let evrypony know he was from Torttingham just yet, due to the recent arguments they'd had with las pegasus. He didn't know who was actually from las pegasus but he didn't want to take the chance. Shadow dust understood and kept it a secret for now.

Night Vision

Special Talents: sword wielder, stealth, and martial arts

 

Leaving the royal guard lifted a huge weight off Night Vision. She was free and wanted to get into this action about this thief's guild once asked. Vision was at the back of the small group of pony's with her long sword stretching along her side and a sleight glow from her blue eyes from the dimmed lights in the room through her helmet. Vision still had her full suit of armor from being in the royal guard and could care less if anyone could guess it. She heard about this weapons store that was mentioned yet never had gone into it. Her ears twitched at the mentioning of teamwork but listened to every detail she could.

 

Once Stardust finished, Vision walked up to the map and studied it glancing over all the other buildings in Las Pegasus, especially the buildings beside the weapons store, she nodded her head slowly as a plan devised in her brain. She did glance to scan the other ponies in the room on her way up to get a good idea on who was present at this guild.

[madpenguin44 38]

@DJ Spacer   (It's shadow dust, or just shadow)

"Ah, I see you're looking at the map. It looks like there are many ways to execute the plan. Perhaps if you come up with a plan we'll use yours. After all royal guards are smart right?" Shadow Dust has seen Vision before, well she's seen everyone, but vision stood out. She looked like a royal guard. Shadow wanted to make sure that Night Vision wasn't a real royal guard, so she questioned him. " Where'd you get that fancy looking guard armor?" She asked.

[Sekel 696]

Golden Flames

Special talents: Stealth, knows both destructive flame spells and fireproof spells (well it is in her name after all)

 

Golden Flames sat with a few other ponies as she listened in on what Shadow Dust had said. They were going to rob a weapons store. In Las Pegasus! She had gotten an invite on the day of her twenty-first birthday. She thought it was a wonderfuk present but she knew that, cor some reason, she couldn't tell anyone about it. When Golden had arrived at the guild's meeting place, she wasn't surprised that there were other ponies there. She had been to Las Pegasus a few times but she didn't recall ever going to that store.

(sorry my bad, misread)

 

Vision looked at Shadow raising an eyebrow "I would be one to say yes but that's me" she said scanning over the map again and turned towards Shadow completely "This armor?" She said tapping her chest plate "This armor was specially made for me by the royal guard blacksmiths themselves" Vision seen the suspicion in Shadows eyes and added "You think I work for them don't cha? At one time i did, had myself a squadron to command, but you know what made me leave?" Vision leaned closer to Shadow head turned partly "The items we protected, thats what i want, the thrill of what those items hold, I hear this guild knows about some pretty top shelf items to steal and I want in" She said retreating back to her normal standing position "Are you the head of this guild?" She asked as one of her ears twitched.

[madpenguin44 38]

"Of course you can join us when we steal the diamond in Canterlot. Also this might sound confusing, but I'm the leader, but I'm not leading. You see once we get a used to each other and we all trust each other like family. I'm not going to be leading you guys for everything. You can set up your own raids and do them alone, with other ponies, or with my permission go on a big raid with all of us. Of course I'll still be the leader though and there are limits on freedom, but I'm not to worried about that. Basically though, yes I am head of the guild. Remember though we are equal and I don't want anypony to think I have to much power. So just treat me like a regular pony most of the time. I'm no one special, I just set up the guild and make sure everything runs along smoothly. That's pretty it. Anything else that concerns you DJ Spacer?"

[Demirari 454]

Cryptical Code waited in his seat, idly. Besides some ponies conversing, it was rather silent and quiet. All the time he needed to glance and classify each pony in his personal file. Who will be his concern and who won't be, especially the one that was wearing armor. Now that pony was interesting, and probably many others.

The rank system given by their guild leader or more like guild member from what she was saying, was rather basic to its core. Something that would be best, he already know what rank would be best for him, ninja. He wanted to scoff at that, ninja. Such a name that he felt wasn't good, something too childish. But, it'll work, now, should he stay quiet or find someone to converse with, which will be out of the bounds for him. But this is a guild after all, and ponies are suppose to know each other. Which one would be best. Cryptical Code glanced around to find anyone of interest.

Golden saw somepony tinkering with a detonator of sorts. She trotted up to him and curiously watched him tinker. "Hi! You like explosives huh? I'm somewhat a pyromaniac myself." Golden said. That was all he should know for now. She sat down next to him and watchdd him fiddle with the detonator while she waited for an answer.

[Spacey 748]

"Very well" Vision replied "I'll look forward to it getting that diamond for us". She nodded to Shadow then made her way to an empty table and took off her helmet before sitting down. Her mane flowed down her neck as she slouched back waiting for another pony to suggest a plan for this theft. Her eyes and ears kept attention to all the sounds around. She knew she could trust Shadow seeing how open she was with her but Vision did not know these other ponys, who knows if one of them may try to steal or do something worse to a pony who use to be from the royal guard. She still had her mind blowing up with ideas to get into this weapons store. Maybe a roof entry? or pick the lock on the back door just as easy? What if the have a security guard? Take him out with a sleeper hold.....

[madpenguin44 38]

Now Shadow wanted to meet the rest of the thieves. She saw End Game and Golden Flame sitting together. Why not talk to them. Shadow Dust saw End Game with a detonator. "You didn't plant a bomb in our hideout did you?" Shadow joked, but also was serious about the question. The last thing she needed was a hole in the wall.

Dead Eye Saw Everyone in the room conversing, but simply sat in his seat. He was never one for words in the first place. He saw that the basic rules of the guild were laid down and started to think about the first score, the weapons store. "If this was all that this meeting was about, I'd like to excuse myself" He said in a flat, expressionless tone, "I'm going to check out the store for anything of use" 

[Sekel 696]

@@madpenguin44

Golden looked up when she heard Shadow. "If he's planted a bomb, then I can protect us." Just to be on the safe side, Golden conjured up an invisible fireproof barrier around each pony. It weakened her and if there was a blast then her shield would shatter after the initial blast. "Come to think of it, he hasn't said much. Oh! You must be Shadow. Thanks for the invite." At this point she ws just rambling on and on.

[madpenguin44 38]

While Shadow waited for an answer from End Game she heard Dead Eye ask her something. "Of course. Just make sure they're not suspicious, a lot of ponies been attempting to rob that store for weeks. All failed. I think it's because the store as super advanced security. The only good info I got was that when somepony tried to rob the store. When the alarm was set off, the guards were there 10 seconds flat. Must be something worth a lot of money in that shop." As Dead Eye left, Golden said she would protect everypony. "Thanks Golden, but I think we'll be fine. End Game doesn't like somepony who would try to kill us. Right?"

[Demirari 454]

Cryptical Code waited for a second, unsure of how to perform any actions. But he decided that maybe scouting the store would be best, and seems like another pony has that same idea as well. Standing up quietly without making a second, he spoke, his voice blank and bland, betraying not even a single strand of emotions, "I must leave, to scout the weapons store if you will, I should be back within this day." Then he moved quickly out, then he looked around. Cryptical Code immediately went to the nearest known alleyway. He had passed by that weapons store before, but never really entered it, but now, it might be best. 

Taking the alleyways, he quickly made pace. 

[Spacey 748]

Vision had been sitting around for quite some time figuring her strategy then it occurred to her, she use to be apart of the guard and still had her suit of armor, why not pose as a soldier as ask to inspect behind the stores closed doors? Check out if there any high value items that stick out.

 

She stood up from her slouch and placed her helmet on her head. It was clear what the intentions were of the guild to her and she would help out in any way to get that diamond in the end. Making her way out of the guild she began to trot down the street creating an image of the map in her head. Daytime wasn't a time to be sneaky to her, night time was when the real fun started. Soon she was right down the street form the target store and stopped to scan over the entrance. She had a strategy for this store and would soon act upon it.
