Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Pendragon" data-source="post: 2589030" data-attributes="member: 707">Sure.PC1 is stealing from the party.  The party finds out.The party decides that they'll take PC1's equipment, sell it, and split it up amongst the party, then drop PC1 at the nearest town, alive but a bit humbled (possibly bruised).PC1 then has a choice.  He can shake his head, having been caught out, thank the gods he's still alive, and go about his business.  Or he can attempt to track the party down for revenge.  Of course, if he chooses option 2, he's going to have to be sneakier than the new rogue the party replaced him with, and kill the entire party before the party can react (and kill him.)  He'll also have to be able to track the party, since it's going to take him a while to replace his gear and therefore he won't be able to follow the party for some time.I suppose he could hire another group to help him get revenge on his old party...Note that from the red text onward, PC1 would in actuality be NPC1.  This is how I've seen it play out most often, and how I'd run it, were I the DM, anyway.  Player 1 would be running the new rogue, who'd either be a straight arrow, or trying to steal from the (now more wary) party again. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Edit to add:  And also, for my characters anyway, the offending thief would have to be sincere in his wish to rejoin the party and continue adventuring.  So he'd either have to Bluff me into believing he was sincere (when he really just wants to slit my throat), or be sincere.If he bluffs me, good for him!  I've never played in a game where slitting a party member's throat wouldn't immediately result in the rogue being killed by the rest of the party.  So both our characters are dead, we roll up new ones, and move on.  Or my character, being honest and loyal to the party, is rezzed by the rest of the party to continue adventuring, while the thief's body is thrown off a cliff. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
