Monsters DO seem to hover near their lairs, so generally if you go for the lair, you get attacked soon/immediately. However, it IS possible to sneak a powerful lair item with no consequences if you're fast enough or have a transit spell. Whether this is intentional or not, I do not know.
Seems like a good option. Though I think if you rob a monster's lair it should "go rogue" and chase your butt around the map. Or at least, pillage the nearest civilization it can find.
The latter would be kind of neat. You could steal loot behind enemy lines, then let them deal with the pissed off drake/ogre pack/etc.
Monsters with a bit of intelligence could pursue you deliberately, at least to a certain distance, then rampage on nearest if they lose you.
I would rather you not be able to take the loot without fighting the monsters. Why not have a stationary force for each lair and lets spawns to the roaming?
