[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 204162, member: 527"] Another story angle: Have the PCs been bragging about their score? Do they work out of a big city and did they ID the +3 Axe there? Did the Dwarf report the theft to the local authorities? If so, its possible that the thiefs activities have come to the attention of the local Thieves Guild. The Guild will not want independents operating on its turf; it will make a visit to the thief and make her an "offer she cant refuse." The best part of this, in story terms, is that it offers her access to an older wiser, perspective on thievery -- "Oh, now this Axe is a nice score. Where did you get it? From a Dwarf?! From a f*#*$ Dwarf?! And he knows who you are!? Honey, a Dwarf will hunt you to the ends of the earth if you steal from him; he'll hunt you to the ends of the Planes if you steal his Axe. Some items just arent worth the trouble - and this is one of them. Take it back and bring me something I can fence." Regardless of what happens with the Dwarf, a journeyman Rogue bumbling around stirring up trouble is exactly what the Thieves Guild does *not* want to see. Sooner or later, she will come to their attention. [/QUOTE]
