Duke Laverne!

[Apocryphal Misconceptions]

It is actually pretty late right now so I cannot commit to a long obituary right now, BUT -

Duke Laverne's finally kicked it after 3,5 months. This high level CN Rogue grew up a beggar here in Sanctuary and was quickly hired by a number of institutions and individuals for all sorts of mischief.

The idea to become anything more than a beggar never really crossed my mind until I reached my first 10,000 GP. It was about then that it became a serious concern that some Watcher would inspect him, as people started pointing out his schemes.

Around the time of his death, he had a little over 25,000 GP.

He donated 10,000 GP before that when I planned on making him the most decorated character in Sanctuary. Unfortunately, Duke did not get past 4 medals (or 5, if you count the one I stole from Raran Roundbrick. He sure counted that one).

I kept a record of all the crazy things he's done to get gold outside from conventional means, which might amuse some of you! (It certainly amused me):

Begging: 1024 GP
Stealing (Pick Pocket): 2725 GP
Con Artist: 950 GP (fortune telling)
Running errants (and making both sides pay): 740 GP
Miscellaneous (shady deals only): 11,400 GP
Fencing goods: 7000 GP (largely thanks to Pierre!)
Drugs, narcotics and poisons: 2400 GP

Prefucture's proven to be a difficult and somewhat tedious position for Duke to sit in though. I was hoping that it would enable him to make a grab for the position of Prince Prig but it turned out to be the fatal flaw in his operations, and business started to dry up a bit. It was not until last week that I actively put Duke's cards back on the table for some of the more shady folks, with some small measure of success!

I was looking forward to the next couple of months, but I am also looking forward to new things -- so I wish you all the best and remember:

"I see ya soon, ey! Huehe!"


Peace out

RIP. Had fun with Duke! Looks like I'm next in the Great Prefect Purge.

You forgot the obscene amount of gold from selling cooked chickens. Don't forget your roots! :P

Great scamming fellow! Wish our timezones had us meeting more often!

Good times, best rogue.

Well done. I enjoyed seeing the road he made to Prefecture.

Good times, Duke/Weaselly!

Oh man, was this because I didn't stick around to sell you potions?
