((Dammit, do I know this is going on to intervene?))
If so, "Dammit, are you a bunch of goblins, falling out over a little bit of money? We all took a share in the risk of death, therefore we all get equal shares. If you want more for being a wizard and having special skills, that's reasonable, my guild at home did things the same way, but you gotta negotiate that in advance, not declare it after the fact."
"If you want to settle things down and come to an agreement, that's fine, but I'm not negotiating with someone who murders his teammates."
Post tomorrow. Just gonna remind anyone that any stat loss, ie strength lost from injuries, hasn't recovered. Remember, HP recovers from short rests, Stat loss from long rests. Short rests are like 15 minutes, long rests are like a week. Please keep this in mind and keep your Str and other stats where they belong.

Toss the extra two silver to Alanna. She's pretty much the mvp of this mission.
And go sell this darned armor!
Dammit, wasting my time. Hit him with my crowbar.

((Oh, there will be whacking. Bill don't tolerate your shit. And neither your shotgun nor Dev's sword can track bandits and keep us from getting ambushed.))
"Freeman, you piece of shit. We both know that my creatures pulled more weight than you did. You managed to kill one fucking bandit after wasting time doing nothing useful while the rest of us fought the first group and then running into their fucking camp like an idiot. Alanna can have the money, she obviously earned her share more than you did, but you better step outside. We're going to settle this like men, and I'd hate to get blood on the floor of this nice house. I challenge you to fisticuffs."
"And I appreciate your desire to make peace, Beethro, but it's a matter of principle now. The principle of how the least fucking useful person here has no right to decide who gets paid what. If you would like to come outside and observe so that we don't do too much damage to each other, that would probably be a good idea."
Take Gordon outside and punch him in the jaw. Preferably in a way that knocks him out instead of killing him. If he tries to go for his gun at any point like a dishonorable cur, cut him down with my sword instead. If he objects, just punch him in the face. Don't turn my back on him either.

"Freeman, you piece of shit,"Bill says, stepping between Gordon and the door, "We both know that my creatures pulled more weight than you did. You managed to kill one fucking bandit after wasting time doing nothing useful while the rest of us fought the first group and then running into their fucking camp like an idiot. Alanna can have the money, she obviously earned her share more than you did, but you better step outside. We're going to settle this like men, and I'd hate to get blood on the floor of this nice house. I challenge you to fisticuffs."
"Dammit,"Beethro says while making sure to still keep a few feet from the two,"are you a bunch of goblins, falling out over a little bit of money? We all took a share in the risk of death, therefore we all get equal shares. If you want more for being a wizard and having special skills, that's reasonable, my guild at home did things the same way, but you gotta negotiate that in advance, not declare it after the fact. If you want to settle things down and come to an agreement, that's fine, but I'm not negotiating with someone who murders his teammates."
"I appreciate your desire to make peace, Beethro," Bill replies, his eyes fixed on Gordon,"but it's a matter of principle now. The principle of how the least fucking useful person here has no right to decide who gets paid what. If you would like to come outside and observe so that we don't do too much damage to each other, that would probably be a good idea."
"You know Beethro, you're right." Gordon says, nodding to himself, "Negotiating is a very reasonable way of doing things, as opposed to just beating people we disagree with in the face until they do what we say. Very reasonable indeed."
Gordon promptly pulls the crowbar off his belt and swings it like a baseball bat into Bill's face. Bill stumbles and falls backwards through the window nearest the door, crashing down onto the porch.
"But honestly," Gordon says, walking over to the broken out window with the crowbar on his shoulder, "Bill never struck me as the most reasonable of people."
Bill is back up on his feet in an instant. He reaches through the broken window, grabs Gordon by the collar and punches him square in the jaw before dragging him through the window and tossing him onto the porch.
"The only thing about me that should be striking you is my fist." Bill says, spitting blood onto the ground.
"Haha! I accept this donation of cold hard cash with dignity and grace~"
"Excellent! My fellows, tonight is the first of many successful nights! Now, let us reap the rewards of our efforts! I am thinking... I need to get something for long range.
"No shit."
"Oi! Marcus would have cleft him in twain!"
"Riiight after they shot your ass three or four times."
"Such cheek."

"Might come in handy."
"I suppose. But now we have no money."
"Much better armed now, though. Got food for a while too. I think I'll take up cooking. Might be nice to eat something that doesn't taste like ass again."
"Ah! Just like your mother. *Sniff* I look forward to the results of your efforts! Haha! Come now, it has been a long day. Let us meet back with the others. Perhaps we will have a new job tomorrow!"
"Hell yeah! Can't wait to kick some wizard asses again."

Daughter of Marcus, she is sixteen years of age and desires to do something with her life. This mostly involves putting up with her father and making sure he doesn't go off too half cocked on some crazy adventure, usually by being smarter than him.

Marcus and Alanna watch the bar room brawl unfold right up until the point where a man gets thrown through a window. Once that happens Marcus scoops up his share of the bounty and grabs Alanna by the hand.
"Marcus thinks he sees where this is going. Come Alanna, shopping to be done."
"Shouldn't we do something?"
"Yes, we should leave and buy things with this money before someone tries to take it from us. Or before we are caught up in a murder."
"That's surprisingly level headed of you..."
"I have experience in this sort of thing."
The two of them leave via the front door, carefully circle around Gordon where he was thrown to the ground, and head off to the shopping area. Many, in fact, most of the shops have long since shut down but there are a few left open, including the one which sold supplies to the team previously. Initially, the shopkeeper is unwilling to pay full retail price for goods, but Alanna [1] manages to explain the situation to him. After all, they had just saved his shop and town from being abandoned by killing that wizard; surely any loss of profits here is small potatoes compared to the future profits gained. And speaking of future profits, they just happen to have nearly 50 silver here to spend. The Shopkeep quickly sees the reason in their argument and does business with them exactly as they desire.
They leave the shop with backpacks stuffed with supplies, including enough food for 5 days between them.
Sit outside safely behind my tree, blissfully unaware of the inevitable teamkilling. Polish and clean my new rifle while I'm out here, I'm sure those bandits had no idea how to keep a good gun clean.

You sit with your back against a tree and carefully polish your rifle with the corner of your shirt while watching people wander around. The carts from metal farmers occasionally trundle back into town to offload supplies before going back out. At this rate you might have to wait till sundown to sneak in. Oh well, you can wait.
