You could be right, but that's up to the Pandions. Well, except for the rounding up thieves part; there are probably rules keeping holy orders from running amok in the cities without advance clearance, and getting it would tip off the local thieves guild who have to be connected to have survived this long. The IRS only got Al Capone because nobody thought they were a threat, and a battalion of church knights is a pretty obvious threat.

That said, Arkady is not going to try to stop this kid. He's not the spokesman type, he's somewhat annoyed that he's been robbed again, and he's spent too many years growing up in a failed kleptocracy to think the services of any one particular thief are essential.

If we want to let him walk, Nate could try and track him back to wherever he goes. No promises, but worth a shot?

Or we spend a FATE point and say that someone had a tracker in their pockets.

Seems like something Felix would rig up. I imagine we'd also have brought another radio with us to be stolen so we could listen in. Probably pretty easy to fit it with some manner of tracker?

Any continually-broadcasting radio is already a tracker, no need to add anything else.

Well, assuming he has it we can temporarily retreat and formulate a new plan. See if he says anything we need or if it gets taken back to a central loot area we can raid or something.

We could split the difference. Felix tells him we may be there, he checks it out, and perhaps finds us neck deep in knights. Meanwhile we spy on him.

Oh, ink splatter packs. The kind banks have that explode and cover thieves in ink that's impossible to get off. Might be a good idea to rig that up to everything we bring with us, so anyone who tries to still is going to get a face full of thief identifying liquid spray the moment the try to examine what they took.

It'd be tough to rig our pockets with that kind of booby trap without seriously endangering the party members. Though perhaps treating some of it with something invisible and reasonably harmless but easily detectable (invisible florescent ink, alpha emitting radioactive invisible ink, etc) might work. The PCs would know to wash their hands.

Nah. It's the old exploding wallet gag. Stuff can go in and out of the pockets just fine. It's the things in the pockets that are rigged to go off when tampered with.

From poisonous Chick Tracts to exploding novelty tchotchkes. And we wonder why Terrans have a checkered reputation...

Alright. New Year's Eve aside, holidays are mostly over and done with. I'm ready to get back to it if everyone else is.

What's the game plan? Felix tells them we'll meet up, we spy on them in the meantime, then counter-ambush their ambush?

It doesn't look like it will be an ambush, at least so far as this kid is planning. But yes; tell him we'll probably be at Hargas, and see if we can convince a pack of Pandions to have lunch there. Hopefully it's not too downmarket for them.

Nope. Maybe he's competing in the Tour D'Afrique?
