Thievery
Buff
Steals Gold when Attacking.
Thievery is how the Gremlin Merc robs you.
At the start of the fight it gets one instance per player, each set to 20 and pointed at that player.
After each of its attack moves, Gimme (two hits of 7, or 8 on Ascension 8), Double Smash (two hits of 6, or 7) and Hehe (8, or 9), every instance takes up to 20 Gold from its target and records the running total.

Notes
The steal happens whether or not the attack connects, so Block does not protect your purse; only killing the Merc does. It takes exactly 20 Gold per attack until you run out. When the Merc dies, Surprise moves the recorded total onto a Fat Gremlin as Heist; kill it before it flees to get everything back, and if it escapes, the fight pays out less Gold too.
