"Wilton was never really liked. Always having been blonder, brasher, and more mischievous than his halfling brethren. Considering most of the other halflinglings were more interested in tea and childhood literature, not in ruckus and fireworks,he spent most of his time scrounging up what he could from the windows of Baubbleshire (and the pockets of an unsuspecting Barbarian or three). He usually kept up to these acts until he had completed his 5 daily meals and smoked his share of elfin hash. When his stomach was almost full, for a halfling's stomach is never full, he spent his time lounging upon a vacant hill near the waterfall, soothed by the steady clinks of a gnome's mining pick. He dreamed of schemes and exploits much greater than that he had accomplished in his days of pie-nabbing and purse-snatching. He hoped to commit the largest of crimes: guild leadership.A ring of smuggling swashbucklers he aspired for, rogues of good nature and strong will whose interest was not only in their purses, but in their bellies as well. These would be a benevolent alliance of the type no one had ever seen. Unfortunately, Wilton was too lazy to create such a large-scale scheme. Rather, he found himself fallen into a job of great charisma and cunning wit:selling stolen goods for escalated prices. He donned the most colorful clothing he could find, from ruffled shirts to embroidered pantaloons, from jewel-encrusted daggers to rusty pitchforks (Sometimes he was forced to kill rats by the innkeeper when he defaulted on his rent). Thus Wilton came to his current position, a novice swashbuckler but an excellent Silvertongue." The blonde, brazen halfling concluded his story, closing the empty notebook he had claimed carried the biography of "The greatest halfling ever to live since that one guy who gave me a baubbleshire pie for free." The children who had each brought him a silver coin procured from their mother's purses for telling the story exclaimed their distaste. They claimed it was trite. Wilton showed full agreement, then ran.
