And he departed, and went in search of that which was troubling him.
And, as it was written, he fell into a trap, as many before him had done.
And when all was said and done, Garrett lived, and evil died, and the balance was preserved.
And the Keepers fired Keeper Andorbut, for his over-use of the word 'and'.
And all celebrated.

Story :

About a year ago, Garrett left the city; the corruption and cruelty was too much, even for a hardened Thief, such as himself. Living in the country, though, Garrett hasn't found much to rob - he decided to pay a few of his "favorite" noblemen in town a visit. Luckily, since Garrett's 'disappearance' from the crime scene, security hasn't been so necessary (is he good, or what...??). Loot was a lot easier to find, and guards were a lot harder to find. All was going well for Garrett, until he decided to check out the strange whirring noises coming from the graveyard near his little cottage.
Grabbing his map, and depositing his loot safely in his (well hidden) hiding place (what's the sense of having a hiding place, if it's not well hidden??), Garrett heads toward the old Hammer grave...he hears his footfall, against the cobble stone path. He notices how the graves have not been kept well at all, and wonders if this is because of the rumors about what resides under the graves. "Ahh well," he decides, ignoring the shivers going down his spine, as a result of the eirie atmosphere. "Such things don't scare me...As long as it's down there, and I'm up here..." At that very moment, as he steps forward, he feels nothing beneath him. As he tumbles into the darkness below, he wonders what awaits him...
