For his part, Wialor was too busy being far less than less pious himself, and
even less careful with himself or his earnings. He spent his money at brothels,
on fine foods, on trips to exotic lands, and often on fool hearted expeditions
to treasures rumored in places that cost and lost mercenaries to the tune of
hundreds in gold. And with more and more scores from Ayr'Trinil, Wialor was
gambling his safety and his daughter's.

Ree was but a few years away still from taking off on her own and it seemed she
was destined to follow in her father's footsteps. They joked that she would
likely not be visiting the guildhall in Ayr'Trinil to learn the skills of a
rogue. Her father strongly suggested she pick up locksmithing, an honest trade
and a respectable path that could be lucrative in its application, both
scrupulously and unscrupulously. They spoke of how there would only be a few
more gambles before they needed to walk away anyhow. Maybe Wialor could take a
run at being the Kingpin or the Spymaster or the Godfather, something that
would be less fraught, just as profitable, and far easier after a big score.
Why not bribe a few likeminded thieves and take it over from someone who had
gotten too fat and comfortable? Hopes and dreams were what they spoke of as
they made their way to Ra'kad's together for the last time.

It would be another thief's guild denizen but a block away from their
destination who would ultimately bring about the end of Wialor's good luck.
