Relic Thief

Field notes
A grave robber digging up Nahi burial sites for artifacts to sell to eastern collectors. The ancestors do not rest easy.
What you are walking into
Relic Thief is level 7, carries 120 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Relic Thief plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Relic Thief
Relic Thief is encountered at Kaiowa Mesa. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Kaiowa Mesa covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 85 experience and between $5 and $10. Its loot table can yield Stolen Relic and Rope. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
