| Thief | Any Lawful |  |
| The Golden Key is a Guild of thieves that are dedicated to treasure hunting. Instead of resorting to common pickpocketing, they find dungeons that contain treasure and empty them of everything. They live by a code and either banish or execute members that don't comply. They can be found on any of the planets. |
| Rules of Conduct 1. All treasure is split equally among those that found it, with an extra 10% that goes to the Section Master and 5% to his two Lieutenants. Every year, a total is calculated and the Guild Master is given 2% of total earnings. 2. When in towns, you steal only for your meal. If there is no need, you do not disgrace the guild with petty thievary. 3. You never ask another guild member for money. 4. Killing is done only when necessary. It is never done in public unless the safety of the guild is at stake. Killing during a hunt is permittable unless the opponent is willing to get out of the way. 5. No items that cannot be considered immediately valuable are touched. Only loot coins, gems, and bejeweled items. 6. If a guild member comes to you and asks you to teach him an askable skill that you are good at, you must teach him. The askable skills are: Detect/Remove Traps, Open Locks, Detect Noise, Read Languages, Climb Walls, Detect Magic, Detect Illusion, Move Silently. You are not bound to teach any other skill. 7. Any member of authority that recognizes the Golden Key must be eliminated. Therefore, you must stay as far away as possible from those who would be easily noticed as missing. 8. If anyone approaches the current cave wanting entrance, they have three chances to go. If they don't, deal with them in any manner possible. 9. Only the Section Master can declare a hit. Others may suggest, but it will not be put into place unless the Section Master orders it. 10. Killing another guild member is punishable by torture and then death. |
