Lying to the king about what happened to his treasure, and taking a skim off the coins and especially any gems that could easily have fallen out of the chest when it fell off the horse is hard to prove otherwise. Just telling me that it is filled with coins is useful information -- coins are very easy to miscount and even easier to lose and are made in such quantity that unless they're collectable, it's very very hard to trace them. I'm not looking to walk off with a mountain of wealth, I'm looking to line my pocket. And it's not about acquiring gp to buy that neat +3 sword of awesome, it's about roleplaying a casual, amoral thief who sees no harm in separating a rich king from a little bit more of his wealth than he had planned.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I think you're missing the point here.  The result of your checks, and the contents of the chest are immaterial to the story.  If you want to pilfer, just post that Myar stashes away a few choice items and move on. You don't need a packing list to establish his actions.<br/>If you're worried about the king's reaction or whether he'd notice or not, then it says something about Myar's character when he decides whether or not to take that risk.  That insight into his character is much more important than the inventory of what he pilfered, or the value of the items.<br/>
