Coraine nods. "Dara, your system certainly sounds fair to me."
"Ragnok, I am happy for you to have the magical armour." He laughs then, and adds, "After all, you do tend to charge into impossible situations more often than I do."
"So I make it that there are five of us who have been a part of this venture from the beginning: Dara, Otto, Ragnok, Verdis and myself. Then there is Kine, who has left without laying claim to any of the rewards of his labours, and Rodigan, who, alas, disappeared before we had truly begun. Lucius died in the battle with the Master, and we ought to hold aside a share of the treasure up to and including that battle, so as to recompense his family for their grievous loss. And Marco has joined us since that battle, and so is entitled to a share of the treasures we have found since then."
"Ah, but it seems ungracious now to quibble over which of our companions joined us at an earlier or a later date - for we are all of us at risk of our lives every moment of our shared endeavour! I propose that we divide the treasure we have found by equal shares. That Marco receives Kine's share, that Lucius' portion be given to the temple to disburse to his family, if they still live, or if not, to use for the succour of the poor as the high priest sees fit, and that Rodigan's portion be held for him, if and when we find him."
"That, I make it, is eight equal shares. Tell me, are you all of a mind to agree to this?"
[sblock=OOC]And, as a matter of fact, I'm having trouble remembering whether or not Lucius and Rodigan were NPCs - not that that would affect Coraine's logic, but that you folks might not be best pleased to forgo your hard earned shinies to them.[/sblock]
