thieves....GRRRRR

[VcougarV]

I'm in Marlone Hideout for a few minutes and shout that I need a party - instantly get a party inv from a cleric I've partied with before - also another fighter i recognize. I get to where they are and in no time we're in front of King Marlone - poof he's dead. Great right? Party Leader had set the allocation to sequential and it was her turn to get the ring apparently. The other fighter got one from the previous KM - 'who got it?' is asked. I checked my inv - nope not me - and I quickly reply 'not me'
this goes on for a few minutes and still no one is fessin up - it's either the mage or the archer - and the archer starts blaming me cause i'm quiet about the whole thing and says i took it cause i'm new to the party - bleh
unresolved we go to find another KM then the mage says she's gtg - the whole time the archer is still blaming me, calling me a liar etc. - bleh
a few minutes later he bolts - my guess is - he took it, he blamed me first and if he still needed ring so badly - wouldn't he have stayed?

Sorry for long post just needed to vent - i hate thieves and how do you disprove a negative? just made me look like a total A** for no reason
