The amount of the fines (well, let's be honest - in Thay they are 'bribes' so something worse doesn't occur to the individual!) are up to the enforcing individual as well as the negotiating ability of the other person(s) involved. I see it as an opportunity for some RP. Not all fines need be $$$ either. Maybe the person is 'fined' by being told to recover item X that the legionnaire was instead sent to recover. Or maybe the 'fine' is that they have to help the legionnaire clear out the Crypts in preparation for a burial, and they only get 25% of the treasure rather than a 50/50 split. Or, in your example, maybe the fine is that they getting off with a warning the first time, the second time they pay X amount of gold, and the thrid time they get their weapon taken (that may be extreme - but hopefully I am getting the various options across).

I prefer to leave fines/bribes up to the individuals involved since Thayan Law is...how shall I say it...'flexible', at best. ;)
