As he walked down the stairs, Lake tried to put the other two bottles of poison into Inner Vault but found that while they went in they didn't really change what bonuses he was receiving. There was a bit of an increase though so he guessed from now on keeping all of his health potions inside Inner Vault was a good idea.

Doing so Lake quickly looked at what the new bonuses were with every Health Potion and Poison inside the vault together.

"No, I was just sitting on my bed and an arrow flew into my house and hit me in the leg." Putting a confused look onto his face Lake looked around and asked. "Where's the arrow that hit you?" The guy was already healed and was standing up while they said. "It flew away after it hit you in the leg, how is that possible?"

As he asked this three guards pushed their way into the room while asking their own questions. "What's going on, who was it that was attacked?" The man Lake had just healed pointed to himself and said. "It was me but there was no attack. An arrow flew through my wall and hit me in my leg. It's already been healed so there's nothing to worry about."

It was very obvious the man didn't want the guards in his home so Lake asked the question he just had again. "You said you were hit by an arrow which then flew away, where did it go?" He knew where the arrow was since he was the one who had flown it away after it hit the man but he was sure the guards would find this interesting enough to look for the answer.

The man pointed towards the ceiling where a small hole was but Lake saw that the man used his other hand to hide his mace behind his back while the guards weren't looking which made him think the guards might be looking for this man. "What's that you're hiding behind your back?"

Lake would have strangled someone if they had done this to him but getting this guy arrested after being the one to shoot him was very funny so he couldn't help himself. "It's a secret thing. I'm in my own house so you have no right to look!" The guards had started to move in to see what the guy was holding behind his back the second they had seen it was true so what the guy was saying changed drastically in the middle.

"Wait a second this is the symbol we keep finding on the helmets of the guards that can't remember anything." Getting a good look at what the guard was talking about Lake saw there was indeed something carved on one of the four sides the mace's head had. This made Lake wonder if maybe the memory erasing effect only activated if they were hit with that side while the others just worked like a normal attack.

"Get away from me!" As the man said this he started to swing Credglin around like crazy and his attack had the desired effect because everyone backed off afraid of what might happen if they were struck. Lake felt this was a good time to leave so he ran out of the door and jumped up on the neighboring shack to watch the rest of the show.

After about a minute he saw the guards all come spilling out of the shack and a few seconds later the guy with Credglin came out obviously trying to get away instead of fighting the guards. All of the guards seemed happy to let this happen instead of getting hit with something that erased memories so Lake watched as the man got away.

He couldn't help but smile once the man was completely gone because with this the guards would think the man had escaped the city when people with the symbols on their heads stopped showing up but in reality it would be because he had used Retrieval to take the weapon he had touched earlier when he had handed it over to the guy who owned it.

Of course the guy who was currently carrying the weapon would notice if it was missing but he really didn't care if the guy might be able to put together how his mace was taken because he was currently wearing a helmet and had been the entire time meaning the man didn't know what he looked like.

It was also very unlikely the man would go to the guards with a problem like 'someone stole the weapon I've been using to commit crimes, can you find it for me' since it would lead to his arrest.
