Although the exact details of the incident leading to the Thief's somewhat gory death are unknown, it is believed that the unfortunate knave returned to a place that he had frequented earlier that week - a place that had already nearly cost him his life. Rumour suggests that Amaas hadn't learned his lesson from his first misadventure - one that left him severely wounded and near to death - and decided to poke at the fire a second time "just to see what would happen".
