This doesn't seem right...


[Thieves' Guild, Sanctuary]
Lit by a single rusty sconce, this small space has been converted into a safe haven for guild members to use in the case of a raid. Leaning against the wall, a rickety wooden bar has been stocked with rations. A round wooden table occupies the center, playing cards still scattered across it. In the back, a pair of bunk beds provides rest for the weary.
You also see a tall stand with a two-toned dartboard on it, a bucket of viscous gloop and a narrow passageway.
Also here: Gambler Osus.
Obvious exits: east.

[Thieves' Guild, Shrine]
A small shrine to Damaris rests under an extended grey veil simulating dusk's shadows, a pair of shields bearing the Thieves' Guild crest propped up against either side. Draped against the opposite wall is a pair of yellow banners, chunks of glowstone with slightly ragged edges illuminating them.
You also see a small stand with a guild register on it and a dark wood bench.
Obvious exits: west.

[Thieves' Guild, Den]
Plush velvet armchairs and pillow-laden sofas dot the meticulously appointed room. A mahogany cart occupies a corner beneath a leaded glass window, its polished surface bearing refreshments. Elaborately wrought sconces of hammered iron hold white beeswax candles that light the room with their glow. Along the perimeter of the lush silk rug set in the center of the obsidian-tiled room are dark grey basalt pedestals bearing alabaster busts.
You also see a broad ebonwood arch, a dark curtain of sheer nightsilk, a bucket of viscous gloop and a polished black oak donations table with several things on it.
Obvious exits: none.

>>You really gonna let random people into your guild?

...really? Do you even understand the concept of thief contacts?

>....really? Do you even understand the concept of thief contacts?

Do you understand the concept that these people are not Thieves, and are clearly willing to carry messages or reveal secrets (such as the guild's location) for coin?

If you clearly don't know how an ability works at all, you really shouldn't post such baseless speculation as to the justification for the ability as if you knew what you were talking about.

Would you like to try again? Or maybe post why you think they aren't part of the Thieves guild given:

1\ You have to be given authority by a thief guild leader to be able use them
2\ They know your standing within the guild, and offer more services the higher circle you are
3\ They know your reputation within the guild, and will charge different amounts (or even outright ignore you if you're too hated)

I like to think of it like this:

Some contacts could be thieves that aren't necessarily adventurers.
Some contacts could be something like FBI informants. They aren't thieves themselves, but they aren't going to rat you out either for fear of something the guild might do to them.
Some contacts could be your average everyday commoner who has no idea of the PC's affiliations

but what all of these have in common is that the thief can make use of each type for different scenarios. A sort of "I know a guy/gal who can get x done." type of thing.

obviously though, there are different views on who or what contacts are. In regards to the OP though, it would be nice to have contacts work within our own guild hall considering the limitations on the ability.

If we envision the thief guild as similar to organized crime (and why wouldn't we?) then it becomes instantly obvious that there are 'guild' members, and then there is a massive supporting staff of low level flunkies, contacts, etc. who, while not being an actual part of the family, are strongly associated with t, indebted to people, or just paid by.

So contacts could range from guilded thieves to generic errand boys according to your own personal pull and needs. For running stuff through guild secrets, you'd obviously have to use someone who could get in those places. For generic running across town, anyone off the street, etc.
