Our sorcerer got some officers to confront the person who stole his identity and we turned the human trafficking ring over to the guard who pulled everyone out relatively safely.
But to even things out the sorcerer killed someone for his cloak and my rogue stole stuff from a person we later found out leaves the thieves’ guild the next session. Karmic balance.
There’s always the option of them unknowingly bringing their problem to a corrupt official, and realizing that it’s much deeper rooted than just common criminality.
