Discarding items that are part of a deal

Unfortunately, your original move was illegal, as you cannot steal while in battle.

However, if this were a legitimate discard to power an ability, I'd say yes. You're not going back on the deal. The deal was one of your items. Any number of things could cause you to lose the item promised. But doing it after the battle and before item distribution is both wrong and I'm pretty sure not allowed, as taking the treasure counts as part of combat in the revised rules.

In my mind, this is similar to someone saying "I'll help you for 1 treasure, you pick first", and then you play a card that both lowers the monster's combat level and number of treasures to 1. (Like Baby, I think) Now the player who agreed to help you isn't getting any treasure. It falls under sneaky wording of the agreement, which is allowed.
