[center][h1][color=9370D8]Gavroche Marmalage[/color][/h1][/center] [hider=Starting at the Entrance] [color=9370D8]"Hey! Move out of the way! I want to see!"[/color] Gavroche struggled to see beyond the bodies of his fellow urchins who were all packed into a small alley way. He jumped up and down before looking around for a better vantage point. A medium crate that stood a head taller than Gavroche sat a little ways back behind the mass of children. Bingo. In only a matter of seconds, Gavroche was already atop the crate, just in time to see the silly noble toppling off the horse onto his rump. Giggles and snorts filled the entire alleyway. [color=9370D8]"That's one grand entrance in the front with a grand fall on the rear!"[/color] The whole urchin group burst into laughter at Gavroche's remark. After the roar died down to only snickers, the group gradually fell back into the alley to begin their scheming. "This guy will be easy pickings," the group leader announced when they've circled around in a hidden part of the docks. "The guards might be a hassle, but we'll be able to empty Mr. Nobleman and his cronies pockets when they aren't looking. Business as usual. Gavroche." Gavroche looked up at the leader. "The big man is all yours." Gavroche gave a big toothy grin. [color=9370D8]"I'll try my best not to cause too much trouble."[/color] The leader gave a smile. "Easy pickings!" The group scattered while giggling, disappearing into various directions. Gavroche headed straight for the streets in order to see where the nobleman was going. Eventually, he reached the procession and squeezed into the crowd to get a better look at the big man. As he was navigating the crowd, he accidentally bumped into a dwarf, causing Gavroche to stumble back. When Gavroche got a better look at the shorty, he recognized him as one of the miners of the town. [color=9370D8]"Sorry old man! Coming through."[/color] Before the dwarf could speak or react, Gavroche effortlessly zipped past the dwarf and continued cutting through the crowd. At some point, the procession stopped at the tavern with the noble walking into it. [color=9370D8]"Dammit,"[/color] Gavroche cursed. For a while, his target was lost inside the tavern. Any sensible citizen would immediately suspect mischief if a child with nothing to do was inside the tavern. As such, Gavroche turned to pickpocket unfamiliar guards and persons during the waiting hour. It was an absolute splurge with multiple copper coins, a couple of trinkets, and even a silver! When he was about to pickpocket his seventh guard, the person of importance exited the building and headed in a general direction. Curious as to what happened in the tavern, Gavroche questioned one of the exiting women. [/hider] [color=9370D8]" 'ullo, miss! Do you by chance know what happed in the Peg?"[/color] Gavroche asked while looking up at a random woman. The woman looked down at Gavroche while patting down her long, cotton skirt and responded, "The Abbot had just bought an old, abandonded building, the one near the harbor and has been empty for some years. I reckon that the old rickety place will fall down on this prideful pillock." Gavroche gave a chuckle at that remark. [color=9370D8]"What a shame, but at least we'll have one more to agree with the horse."[/color] The woman gave a hearty laugh and went on her way. Gavroche turned the other direction toward the Gold Teeth hideout and began happily whistling. When he arrived, he went to an odd, hidden corner of the hideout and looked around to make sure nobody was looking. When he was comfortable, he knocked a portion of the wall a few times. The final knock caused a panel to become ajar. Into that hole, he squeezed through, closing the panel once the inside with a few, hard pounds. After snaking through some tight spaces and popping in and out of rooms, Gavroche reached the room he thought the abbot would lodge. On one end of the room was a silent, loose panel that was the hidden entrance from the room next door. Next to the fireplace, there were a few, loose floor panels that led to a small underground space confined to the dimension of the room. In the span of a few hours, Gavroche observed the sleezy building owner displaying the room and some of the servants bringing in what Gavroche assumed was the abbot's belongings. When nobody was there, Gavroche silently popped out and swiped some coin and a few objects that looked unimportant but expensive. He was about to leave through the hidden exit when he heard someone walking through the hall. Panicked, he hastily but silently went back down into the hole and closed the compartment. A few seconds later, the door clicked open with a person walking in. Gavroche peeked through the hole. It was the Abbot. Gavroche recoiled away from the peeping hole and hastily covered his mouth. With caution, he inched toward the opening but without pressing his eye against it. Gavroche watched as the man walked towards the fireplace and open up a hidden compartment filled with what Gavroche could describe as a thief's treasure. While the abbot perused the objects, Gavroche was filled with awe towards the treasure and confusion towards the abbot. Absurd! How did an outsider, especially a stuck up noble, know about that compartment. Even Gavroche didn't know about that! Gavroche pushed that thought aside and continued watching. From the same compartment, the man procured a set of thieves' tools, which befuddled Gavroche even more. Before he could resolve this confusion, the man placed a cot right above Gavroche's exit, obstructing Gavroche's view of the room.

I can take down the hider if it's too much.[/color]
