Going as fast as you can you haul whole bales, baskets, bundles and piles. They feel too chippy or bendy to your experienced thieving grubbers. You guess a lot of this is big on coppa n lead, so's to skimp on iron. Musta been hastily ordered out of villages or sumn. Or bought off at bulk discount a gleeful ger-nome merchant somewhere who immediately vanished into a nearby tunnel.
You've stolen much better before, even the metal working tools. Hekk, the pickaxe heads from the Pit has less rust and more iron than most of these. Four no-grip pliars with two of them nearly rusted shut, four large screwdrivers of the same size and head, a hacksaw with no spares, and a woodsaw with missing teeth. These Whities seem to have taken up some Gobby philosophy when it comes to hoarding: make it cheap and crap and maybe no one will steal it. Fur fuggz sake...
BUT! To keep things in perspective, YOU have your lovely Swagger Pouch, so you WILL nick the bally lot, nyerr, just to make it so that (((They))) will have next to nuffins when they desperately needz it! No pottz, no metal hats <span class="mu-i">and</span> no bashyslashy!
AND! All this being so shit in quality means you can kludge it into something useful to YOU much easier! Copper plates for your kludge armor would be less bulky at least, maybe a bit heavier; and you'll have no end of shivs n shanks!
Gotza lookz onna bright side!
When you've emptied the lot, even the tally books, the pedal grinder and the tool chests, you start on your next bitty mischief, something Heckle-Heckle came up with before he blew himself up: you unscrew a panel of the forge's stovepipe out at around eyeheight, use some metal clippers to snip nearly all the tail off each screw, and smoosh the snipped tails with small nails into the BOOMputty you nicked from the Pit.
You're not sure how strong this BOOMputty is - Heckle-Heckle said there's exo loads n crit temps n burn rates n whatnot - so you use the whole stick, just to be sure. Once the putty has metal mooshed in, you smear some sheeping tar on the interior of the pipe and stick your mess of loaded BOOMputty all around the interior of the pipe. It will still have airflow, so no one will catch on until the forge fire reaches the stove pipe, and then it will <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">BOOM</span></span> right in their copeholes, the clipped nail heads and the stove pipe panel adding to the shrapnel, facing the front of the forge.
The one to start the forge will die bleeden n blind n deaf n be all like
>wad da fugg
>wad da -ack
<span class="mu-g">gyehh heheheh</span>!
Boom trap preppt, you lock up: shut and latch the airhole windows so no one has peeksies in, screw the issuing window in place from behind, then woodglue the hinges on the main door before going out and locking the place.
They'll waste a day jezt getting in, and when they do, getta prize of biggy fatty NUFFIN.
<span class="mu-g">gyehh herr</span>!
