Hired Thugs are groups of three NPCs who may appear after you steal an item or kill another NPC (whether or not you get caught). They approach with weapons sheathed, declare their intention to teach you a lesson, then initiate combat; there is no way to yield to them.
They always carry a contract. If they intend to avenge a theft, the contract will identify the victim; if the crime is murder, it will come from a relative of the victim.
Hired thugs will always wear a set of leveled heavy armor, including the cuirass, a pair of boots, a 50% chance of a pair of gauntlets, and a 50% chance of a helmet (all up to steel plate in quality). They will always carry a leveled dagger (up to elven in quality), a leveled heavy shield (up to ebony in quality), and 50-250 gold, dependent on level. In addition, they will carry either a leveled two-handed weapon or a leveled one-handed weapon plus an additional leveled heavy shield (all up to ebony in quality).

NotesEdit
- Hired thugs who witness you killing a dragon in or near a town will become non-hostile members of the admiring crowd. Once you leave their presence, however, they will resume their pursuit. If other enemies are present, they will fight them off, but will continue pursuing if you flee.
- Hired thugs can find you even if you are in sneak mode and the eye is fully closed. However, if you see the thugs before they have a chance to confront you and hit one of them with a ranged weapon or magic, only the thug you hit will become hostile, allowing you to deal with them one at a time.

- The thugs will follow you into buildings, such as stores, and they will follow you into walled cities or dungeons. Alternatively, you can stay on horseback outside of walls, but once you get off of the horse they immediately become hostile and attack.
BugsEdit
- Although thugs are supposed to have leveled equipment, they may only wear steel armor (not steel plate) and use up to Orcish quality weapons (not ebony), no matter what level you (and subsequently they) are when you trigger their appearance. ?
