More-or-less engrossed in his work, Gary began to hum his own theme song as he put the gold into his sack. Even doing so, he was beginning to strategize on the dealing with the folks outside. He could still hear everything, so his mind began to work on the problem. It looked as though the other thief and the skeleton weren't going to be an issue. The elf, however...
