You get

One nasty dagger, a pouch full of buttons, a tooth pick.

How were you caught?

1. Lack of Finesse: Turns out walking right up to someone, holding direct eye contact, and shoving your hands straight into their pockets and purses is a great way to be immediately arrested.
2. Mini Man Alarm: Bit by a pocket homunculus, your yelps gave you away.
3. Outplayed: Your last mark was a master counter-thief, every pence you thought you took from them somehow ended with every last thing you owned being transferred to them.
4. Betrayed: One of your companions pointed you out to the sheriff, who used your capture as a feather in their cap.
5. Loud Mouthed: After buying several rounds of ales, a stranger asked you how you came upon such good fortunes. You quickly learned that honesty is not always the best policy.
6. Divination: After retiring from a career of adventuring, the local hedge mage decided to become a village detective.

What was the oddest thing you lifted?

1. Tiny Totem of Confidence: A figure of a local deity carved from smooth stone, when it belly is rubbed you can hear affirmations in your head.
2. Digestible Treasure: One purse full of imitation coins, the gold nothing but foil. The chocolate internals at least is a rare treat.
3. Psychedelic Mold: The leather purse your stole from a visiting druid contained only patches of moist growth inside. Ingesting this made you acutely aware of the secret lives of colors and the varies polyhedral shapes living in-between wood grains.
4. Pouch of Devouring: Fanged on the inside, this bag whines if not provided with a weekly meal. Seemingly able to digest all sorts of organic and inorganic material you can it into it without producing waste. Or at least, without producing waste as of yet.
5. Monster Teeth: Unsettlingly, the local miller had a purse practically bursting with a variety of fangs, teeth, and claws. You are unsure if you should report them to someone, or if you can use these in some kind of ritual.
6. Lovely Lich’s Locket: Unsure who it belonged to, but someone in your village kept a heart-shaped locket with a rendition of the Dread Lich Pestulentia. Can you use this to your advantage?
