I am not much for gold farming but my cash reserves were getting low so last
night Draco and I went to wind to solicit donations from the deamons that
haunt the tunnels surrounding the city. After about 90 minutes or so, I had
sent well over 60k to my bank via a bag of sending (although I am not much
of a gold farmer, Draco proved to be quite persuasive at convincing the
deamons that ours was a worthy cause). We then walked over to the bank,
opened it up and there was two nice shiny piles of gold. So far, so good.
Well, the last of my funds was in a check for 992,089gp which I wanted to
bring up to a nice even 1,000,000gp so I cashed it. I then asked Eva the
Banker for a check for 1000000gp. She replies; "Ah, art thou trying to fool
me? Thou hast not so much gold!" Thinking that I had accidentally hit an
extra zero, I ask again and the woman repeats her statement that I do not
have that much gold. Concerned now, I ask for my balance and she tells me
that I have only 992,089 in the bank. I ask for a check for 990,000 and Eva
happily complies with that request. All that is left in my bank box is a
single pile of 2089 golden coins. My 60k+ gold was somehow gone even though
I had adequate room in my bank (only about 104 items even with the check
cashed).
I quickly paged a GM, informing them that Eva had embezzled my funds! I
know well how helpful the GM's are about replacing lost or missing items but
the big brown dragon standing behind me was not so understanding as I. It
was all I could do to convince my draconian friend that GM "tasted terrible"
and that eating that unhelpful fellow in red would be more trouble that it
would be worth.
They should have the bank manager in Wind keep a very close eye on this
woman. I noticed some packed bags under a nearby table. I suspect that she
plans to abscond with my money and most of the banks as well!
Perhaps, if these NPCs were given a decent wage and not forced to work 23
hours a day without so much as a potty break, they would not be inclined to
take advantage of innocent customers like this!
