The irony of Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser
Fafhrd and Mouser are running away from Lankhmar because it has become a symbol of bad luck. The black magic killed Fafhrd and Mouser's first wives, which is why they no longer feel safe in Lankhmar. The interesting thing is that these two friends vow that they will never come back to Lankhmar. Ironically, after three years, Fafhrd and Mouser are tired of living in Ilthmar, away from home. Consequently, they decide to return to Lankhmar, the land they vowed never to return to.
The paradox of Master of Thieves’ Guild
The Master of the Thieves’ Guild comes across a document that reveals that priests stole the skull and hands of Olmphal from the Guild's warehouse and hid them in the Votishal temple. The Master knows that the treasure is worth countless jewels, and he wants to do anything within his power to bring them back. The Master recruits Fafhrd and Mouser to storm the dangerous Votishal temple and steal the treasure. Dangerous monsters guard the Votishal temple, but Fafhrd and Mouser are ready for the task. Paradoxically, the Master is killed before he receives the treasure from his recruiters. The irony in this context is that the Master used all his resources and energy stages an attack on the Votishal temple, but he dies before enjoying the fruits of his labor.
The satire of the priests
The priests in the story "Thieves' House" are illogical characters. The priests are using religion to mislead the masses, while their primary intention is to steal anything precious and store it in the Votishal temple. The congregants are innocent, and they are not aware that their clergy is duping them. Therefore, religion is used as a method in this context to defraud the people of their most precious resources.
