Thieves' Cant

Thieves Cant is a secret language understood only by thieves.

Description
During rogue training recruits come to learn Thieves' Cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows Thieves Cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.

In addition, rogues understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

Trivia

 * In the Oxventure, speakers of Thieves' Cant sound overly polite and well spoken. This is mainly done for comedic purposes, such as how one of the brigands of Redcastle has a drastic voice change when he goes from speaking the Common Tongue to Thieves' Cant, and to help the audience distinguish between the two languages.
