Smith nods in agreement and continues along.

Smith asks "What about our other recoverie?"
Smith asks "Do we posses any method of rendering him conscious?"
Smith notes "My presumption would be this button that looks like it has an opening symbol."
Smith will move forward and press the button, eager to free the man from any further torture.
Smith moves up to open the next door. "Let us finish securing this area before we rest and hope our recovered friend can think of his own protections in the morning."
I will be there as well.
Smith asks "Where to next? We need to find supplies to bring this man past the water."
I think we wanted to fully search this room in hopes of finding supplies to help bring our unconscious friend out through the poison lake.
I'm going to be out of town this week. I should still manage a post a day but likely not much more.
Smith nods.
Smith comments "I would rather we not risk his life by breaking this. Can you try again Iantha?"
Smith walks Iantha through the steps "Make sure to reverse the polarity of the hyperflange before removing the core power cells."
Smith will examine the machine.
Smith notes to Iantha "I will cover you." Smith moves up to cover Iantha and pokes at the robot with his staff.
Smith takes a step forward to get a better view of the creature and fires a second rending bolt from his staff into the syringe wielding robot.
Smith points his staff and the skymetal crystal glows and a magic missle fires at the robot.
Smith patiently waits, not bothered by the blood and smells.
Smith looks to his companions "Shall we continue?"
Smith responds outloud "We do not have any extra of the red liquid food. Where did the other creatures go after this."
Smith nods in agreement with Miranda.
Smith adds "There could be danger, we must both make haste and be vigilant"
Smith nods and continues forward.
Smith will move up along with the rest of the party, his staff out in case of danger.
Smith tries holding up the key that opened the front door, if that doesn't work he looks for some sort of panel or other mechanism.
Smoth hardens his skin once again and moves to cover the north door. "Let us secure the most likely source of danger first so that we can explore in peace."
Smith looks over Baine's findings "They seem to have made it this far, why the blood pool in here though?"
Smith moves forward to examine the blinking lights on the desk.
Sminth continues to examine the key, almost entranced by it, not interested or concerned by the various scritching. Eventually he looks "Yes, we should continue for now."
Smith comments "This may still open a door somewhere."
Smith smiles ever so gently seeing his companions wounds close. "Forlen, we must learn to accept the blessings given to us."
Smith asks "Is anybody in need of medical attention?"
Smith continues the assault with his staff, hoping for a better result than last time.
Smith finishes moving around to a flanking position and smacks the creature in the back of the head.
Smith moves around the table and fires another disrupt undead at the creature.
Smith will wait to see if Dromer's plan works.
I'll be in Canada the 4th-9th. I should have internet and manage at least a post a day but will likely be a bit slower than normal.
Unsure if Dromer was talking to him or not Smith causes his skin to harden and moves up to the door and helps pull.
"We should return to the hall and try the second door, it might lead to the other side. It seemed no more operable than the last door, but there was an ominous clicking."
Smith comments "I sense a magical presence through the north wall. I cannot ascertain any more details from here though."
Smith comments "I advise caution. The effects of these buttons are unknown at this time." Smith will cast detect magic
Smith keeps a lookout for danger while the door is forced open. "Impressive Iantha."
Smith spreads out and wordlylessly points his staff at the red skeleton and fires off a pure ray of light.
Smith replies "I am having trouble ascertaining its purpose at this distance. Therefore I suggest we continue our approach." Smith continues toward the light.
That's easy, you use the weapon for now and we sell it later. Even if you did choose to take the weapon and later sell it, you'd come out the same since you only 'paid' the sale price to the party for it. If people don't act in good faith there are abusive ways to manipulate who gets gold in what order. (like I take the big item that nobobdy wants and immediately sell it, although that's solved by either the DBAD rule or having them immediately pay the party back the sum they owe the pot.
Dromer I feel like you have a system you really want to use. None of the rest of us seems nearly as concerned as you, I'm happy to just use it and move on. I've already spent way more effort on this discussion that I wanted to.
Dromer: Here's a very detailed example of how I've seen the system I believe Forlen is describing work in detail: party finds:
Total value is 21,700 However, we actually want what items look like when sold, giving us 16,100. Dividing that by 6 (5 party members + a party share) Gets 2183.33 Note I chose this example on purpose because of the high valued greatclub making it harder to split the loot properly. Both Doug and Ellen want the want of MM, they roll off or otherwise come to a civil agreement. Nobody wants the Mithral shirt, so it gets sold. Doug and Ellen are too snooty for CLW potions but Abe, Bob and Carol will take them. The wand of lesser restore gets put in the party fund. If Abe happens to have the cash on hand to pay the rest of the 1491.67 on the Club great, if not its accounting time. (which I'm assuming below) We've got 11050 in cash to split up among the rest of our party, meaning everybody but Abe get 2210gp each (including the party fund). While negative Abe won't get any cash, since he's busy paying off his club. See Sheet 2 for a hypothetical future... Next time its convient to split loot the party has accumulated Ring of Prot +2 4000
(all in sold prices) Now we've got some history. Abe, Bob, Carol and Doug all want the ring of protection +2. If anybody had enough owed value (Difference)+available cash to buy the ring from the party, they'd get preference. In this case we'll assume people spent their money and nobody does. Abe is still in negative value so Bob/Carol/Doug roll off. Leaving Bob and Carol to roll off for the Ring of Protection +1. Assuming Bob wins, this leaves Carol, Ellen and the Party fund being owed value so we give them cash. It's possible we have to split cash distributions if it would more than 0 somebody out --- Next time the party finds a Cloak of Resistance +2. Everyobdy wants it, only Doug is negative but Carol and Ellen have saved up enough cash to cover the difference. They roll off and Carol wins. She pays the 1316.04 to the group which then splits into cash for people This system keeps everybody on about the same wealth, while allowing expensive items to be distributed fairly over a long time period. --- Basically anybody who can afford an item with their share/existing gold gets preference on items over those who can't, and they have preference over those who owe the party money.
