Some fight for honor. Others fight for a cause. But thieves? They're motivated by one thing: precious, precious gold. The world is filled with powerful magic items and glittering gemstone. Why should they be left to gather dust in some ancient tomb? All you have to do is pick a few locks, sneak past a group of oblivious guards, disarm a trap or two, and untold riches could be yours! What marvelous treasures could await you in your adventures?
