I want to point out the irony in that the Master of Thieves' "encouragements" are actually threats and insults, and the Master Assassin's "maledictions" are actually peace offerings and friendly warnings, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?.

The scare quotes are just fine, I think. I'm kind of disappointed in this quest--the messages make you almost think something else is going on here, but then the Master of Thieves just gives you the artifact and sends you on your way...just like every other quest. The messages are just too over the top for that. Maybe I'll kill the Master of Thieves just to say I did it.--Ckbryant 20:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
For extra brownie points, do it before you descend down (but after getting permission). -Tjr 09:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Ah, he just boots me out of the Quest and removes the portal when I attack him. Loser. Guess you've got to instakill him.--158.111.5.33 19:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Ransmannsby

Should we make a note that Ransmannsby means something like "Thieves Town" in Norwegian? Supermagle 19:55, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
