Round Six: Havoc is Wreaked, Then Flees With Its Tail Betwixt Its Legs
So, I took my spoils and built a bunch of spells. You'll see them later, but here's the one that matters for tonight:

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
However, I'm not so stupid that I'm going to rob things in broad daylight. I mean, come on! My magic isn't at its fullest potential in daylight!
So, off to find an inn.

Ooh, fancy architecture!

ONE night should suffice. I don't plan on being here any longer. Basic low self-esteem dictates that I will touch something owned by someone else, and guards will immediately come for me.

Blaaah, so tired...

All right, THIEVING TIME! It only took until round six, and I've shown my chops as a warrior at this point, but no more! YOUR MONEY SHALL ALL BE MIIIIIIIINE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

...I just realized something. Because I completely misunderstood how "chance of success" worked, I now have enough Mana to break two locks.
Fine. You shall keep some of your money tonight, Longbrugh Moor.
I am the worst thief ever.

Well, if I can break only TWO doors, then I'm gonna do this right!
Onwards, [insert name here] Sebastiana!

First stop: The Pawn Shop.
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4319/fall190.png
Sadly, I didn't get any pics of me actually robbing the store (I don't want evidence, you understand). All you need to see here is that I have collected over forty pounds of stuff.
Mostly books. Books are really expensive.
Anyways, on to one of the three general stores!
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7918/fall191.png
Let's do this one.
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3030/fall192.png
A horse-drawn cart? YES PLEASE.
A horse-drawn cart lets me carry an extra 750 pounds of merchandise. Definitely a WANT item.
http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2922/fall193.png
In celebration, I'm nicking this pretentious gold cloak, so I can laugh at the shopkeepers' newfound poverty.
Maybe not THIS shopkeeper. He might recognize the cloak. And cart.
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/1737/fall194.png
AHAHAHAH SOOOO EXCITED! Now, back to the inn to sleep!
Wait - check this out!
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8075/fall195.png
New transportation mode, YAY!
Actually, it's exactly like horseback riding, except slower and with more noise. Oh well.
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6712/fall196.png
Didn't stop me from getting so pumped that I dragged it all the way back to inn. Gee, I hope that the innkeeper doesn't ask how a cart materialized on my horse overnight...
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/5954/fall197.png
And, after meditating all night after a successful double-robbery, I came up with better techniques for running my little bum off. I'm pretty sure this is an omen, but not entirely sure if it's good or bad.
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1917/fall198.png
I'm going to sell my stuff.
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4865/fall204.png
HALF A GRAND?!
FOR ONE BOOK!?
I feel like I've just won an award for "Most Incredibly Awesome Thief", or "Thief with Finest Tastes"... I can just imagine taking the award... turning to my loyal fans... an eloquent speech...
<youtube=BBuxhbsTzIY>
Wait, I said what? Who did I just imagine myself as? What on Tamriel just possessed -
What? Oh, uh, I didn't mean anything by it. No no no, the BOOK. Yes, 530 gold is fine. No, I do not want fruit. Thank you.
http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/43/fall206.png
Bizarre possessions aside, I'm so happy that I'm going to wear my pretentious gold cloak. Dig it, mortals!
By the way, here's the gold I raked in from one night.
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/7704/fall207.png
I WIN. I'll never have need for gold again!
Anywho, back to the Mage's Guild.
http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9950/fall208.png
I had a quick chat with an incredibly comical old man who claimed someone had stolen a cloak, made entirely out of gold. He then eyed me angrily. I don't know what his problem is. I stole this one from the general store, thank you very much, I told him, and I have no idea where yours is. He didn't say anything else.
Anywho, one looooong visit to the spellmaker later,and I had this to show for it.

Thank you, sir!
This seems as good a time as any to try levitating (oh yeah, I made a levitation spell, by the way).
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9201/fall225.png
Think light thoughts...

Think lighter thoughts...
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2782/fall227.png
Think lighter-er thoAAAAAAHHHHH I'M FLYING!
Anyways, due to a massive misunderstanding as to how levitation works, I'm now on the verge of collapse.

Dagnabbit.

Trust me, my jumping skills MOST DEFINITELY increased. Bloody Oblivion, my legs are burning.
http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4479/fall230.png
All right, let's try that again.
Here's a clip of me not failing to fly, complete with drawing issues, instant weather changes, and a massive brain fart at the end!

A wonderful little photo of me sending impolite gestures at the Mage's Guild, where they can't see me.
Anyways, I'm done with this town. Here's a clip of me attempting to skip town with a little extra pocket change (and suffering another emasculating fail).

Coming Up: Probably another quest. For the reader: Pick a spell, any spell, and I'll make it!
