Now for the irony....to shake the pursuers, the party has to ditch the magic item(s) in question.....assuming of course that the greedy characters can figure out that the very items they stole are the means that the pursuers are using to track them.One last thing....the 'good' alignment thing and stealing.  Not on.  You may want to warn them on that and advise them that any further incidents of theft (or killing others to hold onto their ill gotten gains) means that their alignments are subject to change.</blockquote>
