The last beetle dies blown to bits by the powerful blow from Two

Fire beetles had:
6 Fire Beetle Glands
Furniture
Whip

The metal urn (heavy container) contains (unless I'm forgetting something)
1997 copper pieces
759 electrum piecs
2 Fire Beetle Glands

Moordenar also had a club which is now lying beside his bisected body.

(OOC I need to remember to roll the incidental treasures first, it's weird having an end table and a whip pop out of beetles when you kill them... or maybe they're magical mystical beetles that turn back into mundane items when they die having been polymorphed by mad wizards or gods!  Wait no, there's still the glands.)

K2 says, "We survived that, so we divide everything 4 ways. 2 glands apiece 499 cp, 190 ep and weapons for those without it appears. odd cp goes to Two for last kill. I took 1 less ep so it breaks out even. Those without carry device might need to share the urn for now, I have my sack."

As he divides up the loot evenly for everyone, 2 clubs and a whip are left. "I would like the whip if no one minds."

"Now, the time comes to decide if and how many want to stay grouped or go their separate ways."

"Alas, alas.  I knew him.  Poor Moordenar, I knew him well."  Weiser weeps grandly, then takes his share.  "I wanna stay grouped... safer that way."

Two says blankly "OK" which seems to mean he's amenable to joining a group.

If we're all agreed, shall we wander forth?

Sure forward until a time we decide to go in smaller groups maybe.

Next door or whatever what do we get next.

"I didn't know him, but no one deserves to die like that.

I have no problems sticking together. It's probably safer that way."

(OOC: Are you heading deeper or backtracking?)

Wandering gets us closer to the exit, right?  That’s my preference.

Wander is fine, with me. By deeper do you mean down a level or just forward so to speak.

(OOC The party as a whole isn't lost*, so it would be exploring, which goes further from the exit.  backtrack would go to the exit directly assuming the party didn't get lost.

*Actually I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation since some are lost and some aren't. My leaning is to count it as not lost since most know where they are.  I'm going to continue on exploring since the lost don't know that's going on anyway, with that in mind:)

You come to a dead end.

(OOC you can eat food to recover if you have any, the only thing you can do from a dead end is backtrack, let's see how that goes... backtrack successful. Someone who's not lost can decide to go back to the entrance, or to room 2 on the track.)

K2 will go and retire letting K1 come back to venture.

Will warchest all of acquired gold 100gp , along with his leather armor, and one glands

K1 will take his pole, sack and one gland along with the plate from chest.

New chest total 100gp, leather armor, one gland

OOC: I don't like having to update warchests for people.  I need to figure out some way to keep it where you guys can edit it, but keep it visible. I suppose I could turn notice off and just let to know to only edit yours and not add any other posts there?  I'll give that a try.

Weiser starts a band (no need/can't retire now)

The statue sells for 196 gold, he had 13 gold.
only

So totaling with the rest of the stuff that's:

bludgeon
2 glands
304.499 gp.

K1 rejoins the others at the stairs, he is wearing plate armor, has a club, 10'pole and sack along with a gland for lighting.

When everyone is there he goes down the stairs or to next room.

Two is ready
Edit: Now Two is ready (Two took a rest to heal his 1 hp damage.)

Side passage with a glint of light to the left or passage continues

Room 2.

Glint, all that glints is not gold right.

You find a scrap of bent and twisted iron, it's unrecognizable what it was from.

(OOC I'll assume going on unless there's a decision to be made, someone can take if they want.)

Room 3 - The passage continues 60'

Room 4 - Side passage to the left with a glint of light or continue.

room 4 follow the glint.

SOP  if Glint always follow unless stairs up or down an option.

I don’t have a chest yet, so I’m striking out on my own again (and taking my statue with me).  On second thought, I’ll stay with the party.

You find a fire beetle larva. Too small to hurt anyone, it has a tiny gland which is less bright than a candle, still it might be worth a gold.

Room 5 - Side passage to the right with a glint of light.  passage continues, following the light you find 4 Bandits.

The first is wearing a small gold 7 pointed star (holy symbol) and has a bludgeon.
The second has a small wooden end table he's trying rather poorly to use as a shield and a bludgeon.
The third has a glowing dagger.
The fourth a bludgeon.

They hesitate.

I’ll smack up the one with the holy symbol.

14:08, Today: Weiser rolled 11 using 1d20+1.  To hit.

14:09, Today: Weiser rolled 4 using 1d6+1.  Damage.

_{" I am on the dagger one, someone better take the cleric and other club guys at least. Good luck take it to them before they can act might get 2 attacks in."}

K1 strikes the dagger guy a solid blow.

14:04, Today: Khaaven rolled 12 using 1d20+1.  Attack dagger.
14:05, Today: Khaaven rolled 3 using 1d6+1.  Damage.

Adjusted my target because weiser posted first changed my target from cleric to dagger guy.

"Uh... I have bribes."
Two shrugs, thinks hard and picks one at random that's left and swings halfheartedly.

Two, rolled 6,3 using d20+1,d6+1.  Swing at bandit.

Hadrian II charges the bandit with the club.

11:44, Today: Hadrian the 2nd rolled 16 using 1d20 with rolls of 16.  To Hit.
11:44, Today: Hadrian the 2nd rolled 4 using 1d6 with rolls of 4.  Damage.
