Ariadne, I'll give you back your short sword, and search one for myself. I agree with you about me smuggling into the room. However, if both of you will be keeping an eye on me, it will leave Ariadne and Maicman alone, so Horde will have to reain here.
I would like a short sword and a dagger if possible. I wont be able to carry a large sack because I already have 2 weapons, and with the short sword that will make 3. I can carry a backpack though. I guess the biggest decision we have to make is how to divide 2 gps among all of us. We also need to decide who gets the leather armor; there are 2 of those as well. I wonder if I can even carry three weapons? Will I be able to put the short sword and dagger on my belt? Any ideas?
I think 1 gp should go to Ariadne and one to Maicman, since they were the ones that got hurt. I can't have the leather armor - I am already in the bandit's uniform. I will take the bandit's dagger and my staff, since I will be on the lead now.
And, Horde - do you agree with staying as guard of the room?
Put meh in thy plans, when I object thou will be sure to know *wink of an eye*
Ariadne, since Maicman already has leather armor, and there are 2 available now, then I can have one and you the other. I suppose you would have to shed your chain armor that you probably paid a lot for, but chain armor probably wont do well for stealth. Although, it may be a bit late for talk of stealth seeing how close we are now to the bandits lair.
Ariadne and Maicman, state which weapons you would like.
hmm. Just to brainstorm, here are a few possible plans
A) How about I pretend that I'm a bandit of high authority coming from far away. That way when people ask for my identity, I can just look at them in a menacing look and say "Do you dare and question my authority?" That, of course, is a risk, since it will draw more attention and if it happens and what I say sounds completely ridiculous, and there is no unknown bandit of higher authority, I have slim chances of staying alive. But if it suceeds, we may have an element of surprise when I introduce the rest of you as friends, and order them not to harm you.
B. I can keep low profile, and quietly approach only two or three of the bandits. I will tell them I have something to show them, and lead them towards the treasure room, where kron and Horde will lay ambush and kill them, taking their clothes and possessions as well and dressing all of us as bandits. That way, we will also have an element of surprise when the bandits see some of them attacking themselves.
C) We can just burst in the room and start attacking. Probably a low probability of success, but just to brainstorm...
D) We can try and turn the bandits against themselves somehow. I have no idea exactly how to do this, but again, just to brainstorm.
I can think of nothing else right now, so if you have an idea, feel free to add

I will need a short sword and a large sack...as for the plan . If in deed the next room is filed with thieves we should keep a low profile. This thieves community are not organised as an army would be(I know, because I had a lot to do with this kind of people in my early days). they know each other and they do not accept some superior they do not know...
On the other hand they are greedy and a possibility to make easy money that they can keep for themselves will may make them overlook some security issues...so lure them one by one for "some easy money" seems a good idea. But keep in mind that usually things do not go as planed so try to keep your back clean and be ready to spring back where we can all fight them togheder
