Creatures

Tactics

(The thief has stats, and has a character sheet in case of combat or the group recruiting him as a party member)When the thief meets the party he will greet them and start a small conversation. When its is over he will walk past the last party member and, pick his/her pocket. He will steal a minimum of 50 gold pieces or, a maximum of 100 gold pieces. (Although as writer of this adventure, if the party character has 100 gold pieces or more. I recommend the thief to steal 100 gold pieces. If the PC has less than 50 gold pieces make him steal a very important item to the character or an item of worth. The thief steals this instantly no roll he steals it no stopping it. Have the PC's make a Perception check. If the DC was 20 or more it is noticed that, the thief stole the item(s). The thief will not willingly join the group if the party desires. He will only join if it means death if he does not join.
