IDIOT trusts the feet and yields to a jailbreak drop (rules rev 37)

The per-step steering recalculated greedily, ping-ponging between routes
that tie at a corner and able to wall the victim off from the cure; rev 37
retires it — the march is the player's to honor, and the automatons steer
themselves. DROP OBJECT that shakes the victim's OWN treasure out of a
thief's arms is now an aid, not an attack: while carried, that treasure
cannot even be stood upon, so the curse could be unsatisfiable. Older
ledgers replay steered and strict.
