| Chapter 3 ~~~~~~~~~ Don't End Up With Missing Items Sometimes by chance, other times with someone's sly premeditation (they return to in a bit to collect them), backpacks, sacks, pouches and other containers will be discarded on the ground. For instance, if you move to put something away into the backpack on your back while one is on the ground, without specifying your own, the item will be placed into the one on the ground. There are several handy ways to ALWAYS get things in the right place. First, specify MY BACKPACK, MY SACK, MY POUCH, MY SHEATH, or whatever container it is when you put something away. Just get in the habit and do it with everything, always. Second, you can STOW things. Simply designate the container you want to be used for STOWing, and then all you need to do is STOW MORTAR, instead of PUT MORTAR IN MY BACKPACK. Weapons can also be SHEATHed in suitable sheaths and scabbards to quickly put them in the container they belong in. And DRAWn out when you want to weild them. Prevention is worth a good deal of money in this case. And remember, that member of the Guild of Thieves next to you when you discover your blade is missing, or your mortar is gone, or that your instrument is nowhere within your reach -- that person next to you did not, and could not, take it. You very likely did not STOW it or remember to specify your own backpack or container. |
