UO Second Age

I was lockpicking the other day in the Ancient Wyrn area. I unlocked the chest while hidden, stealth away to blow it up, and suddenly was attacked and killed.

Question is: How was I unhidden, attacker flagged grey, but wasn't given option to give a count? He was blue before attack. His hally was out from get-go. So how was I revealed?

Thanks in advance!

They may have used the Detect Hidden skill?

Does detect hiding also reveal the hidden or just tell where and if there is a hidden player?

Thanks Jill!

If used successfully it reveals the hidden player (to all players/mobs, you're totally 'unhidden'). The hider receives a 'You have been revealed' system message.

The ancient wyrm chest is a pretty frequented area for reds, most likely they found you using tracking and came up and revealed you with either the spell or skill.

Thank you both for the help

also if you are in the thief guild you can not give counts

Thanks! That answers the count question.
