I just had a level 14 fanatic fail at stealing an artifact and I lost the agent entirely. I thought they just lost a certain number of levels when failing. Can someone please clarify how this interaction works?
Thanks so much!

Sometimes the agent is lost, and sometimes the agent is wounded (or rather, loses part of the team) and loses levels. I don't know what determines which. I assume it is a matter of how badly the agent failed

I think it helps if he is based at a pop with a thieves guild also

In my experience, agents failing against groups die, and against PCs or emis lose levels.

Death. Agents above 6th level will not be killed when captured on most missions. Instead, the agent is reduced by 6 levels. However, for the more dangerous missions, such as assassinating a high-ranking Prince or Power-5+ wizard, the agent will be killed due to more stringent measures by the elite guards on hand.
Base Success/Capture Rates. Each mission has its own success/failure rate which may
differ from the other commands. The following are the success/capture rates for the mission base itself (then add/subtract the agent’s level for the mission). The “danger” column represents whether the mission is considered to be high-risk and dangerous that will cause the agent’s death for failed missions rather than losing 6 levels.
Thieves Guild [10,000 gold, 20,000 food, prerequisites: Bazaar] required to train
agents past L9 up to kingdom limit, exceed max agent training level by 1, -1,000
gold to agent training cost, +20 pts counter-espionage, if agent based at popcenter fails at mission only loses 3 levels (not 4-6)
Hope that helps
