Those who want certain  objects  from the treasure can then rebuy them.Can  anyone think of a fair way to divide up the treasure with Davian?edit: oh hang on  I just reread Dalkon's last post and I think I understood better this  time. So the treasure listed you have already divided up and represented as encounter gold, right. The list below is not 488 +whatever we make from selling the objects, right?I'd say if that is the case just to leave the treasure as divided and those who want to buy objects from the list can do so  with their own portion of the treasure.[/sblock]Maui staggers back to his feet a look ofdeep shame on his face. As the healing power of Arianna closes his and Taniwha's wounds he looks away unable to meet any of his allies' gaze. Sheathing his weapon he slaps Taniwha on the shoulder."You fought more bravely than cowardly Maui. Tonight you drink te Buffalo Milk."Maui keeps mostly to himself while the group clears up the tomb but before everyone leaves he clears his throat and says: "Whale Rider, Jade Arrow, Dog Caller, Mighty Axe ... you bring honour to te Hall of Fame. You are truly axeptional. Maui and te Taniwha are proud to have fought at your side. Maui hopes you can forgive his belly of yellow and speak little of his shame. I would take te metal and buy you all te Brown Water back at te Hall of Fame if you would not know shame to drink with a coward ..."During his somewhat awkward speech at no time does Maui raise his head.[sblock=Thoughts on the adventure] If you felt like I was picking on you at any time [MENTION=6680145]DalkonCledwin[/MENTION] please accept my apologies. ANd thank you very much for your time and effort with this adventure. starting is never easy DMing, and more so for a group of veteran RPGers. Satin Knight's advice is very sound. I don't think anyone could have said it better. The only thing I would perhaps add is that when I DM a creature like a zombie I deliberately operate them as really dumb brutes that use absolutely no tactics. A shambling horde that pushes and pulls at each other in order to get to the food the fastest, as opposed to a group of combatants that coordinates a series of well time charges to make the best out of the cramped spaces. If you want to 'disguise' your DM tactics to your players then that needs to come across in the fluff. If you say 'the zombie opts not to stand up' then as a player I think the zombie is being tactical and not standing up because he somehow perceives Fulgrim is going to take his head off with his axe if he does. If instead you were to say 'writhing around on the slippery greased up floor the zombie is too dumb to even bother trying to get to his feet. Instead he lashes out at Maui's legs ripping open the flesh in his thigh, slashing open a main artery causing blood to etc etc' then I can buy that as it fits what a dumb flesh hungry zombie might do.Thanks once again, and good luck for your next game <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> !
