The Underground DM is responsible for managing the cities underground criminal element, including the Thieves Guild. You may be asked to run scenes where players can pick pockets, perform heists or otherwise take things that don't belong for them. Adventure Frequency: once every 14 days. Skills: Good understanding of stealth adventures, information brokerage and criminal and espionage efforts ==== Bookkeeping ==== You are responsible for all bookkeeping and paperwork related to the following: * [[setting/Maze]] * [[setting/Beggars Market]] * [[setting/Ratways]] * [[setting/Tanner's Island]] * [[setting/Thieves Guild]] * [[setting/Head of the Thieves Guild]] * Various fences and the likes ==== Crime Scene ==== Ever so often, you should run a crime scene, especially if PCs enter the poor districts like the Maze, Beggars Market, Ratways or Tanners Island. In these scenes, a would be thief, con-artist or mugger tries to rob the PCs of their wealth. In general, you should not steal more than 100 gp per player, and they should have a chance to recoup their losses, for example by chasing the thief, seeing through the con or beating up the muggers. You should not run more than one such scene in a given month, to keep people from becoming totally paranoid! ==== Thieves Guild Membership ==== You should keep an eye out to recruit PCs for the Thieves Guild. You are responsible for recruiting and keeping track of thieves guild members. Each member also has a reputation rating which represents their status within the guild, and you should keep track of that as well. Members of the Thieves Guild gain access to some fences in the guild and they are able to sell stolen items, no questions asked, presuming the item is not "too hot" (at the usual rate of 50% value) Additionally, membership gives them access to guild quests, see below. Finally, members can use some of the guilds resources like safe houses in one of the poor districts where they can stay. This gives them 1 Lifestyle Point as if they had a Small House. Link: [[Thieves Guild Members]] ==== Thieves Guild Missions ==== Once a month, you should run a "Thieves Guild" mission, in which the Thieves Guild assigns a task to members to sort out a problem. These missions should usually be a heist, theft or spy mission, in line with the nature of the guild. Important: a true professional doesn't leave a mess. The thieves guild requires its members don't kill anyone. Non-members can participate in Thieves Guild missions, but only if they are vouched for by a Senior Member (see below). If any of the Thieves Guild members complete a mission successfully, they gain 2 Reputation Points ==== Senior Members ==== Once a PC has earned 10 reputation points, they become a senior member of the guild. Senior members get all the benefits of regular members, but can vouch for non-members on Thieves Guild Missions. Additionally, they get access to buy any poison listed in the Core Rulebook (at the listed prices).
