Just curious...went out with a group today out of boredom to kill some bandits, and the group leader blew a gasket on me over picking up gems off the critters I killed, which is clearly me being super greedy, because I was apparently supposed to know beforehand that they pile all the loot on one person to share at the end, despite bits like:
You search the bandit.
It had an uncut diamond.
You search the bandit.
It had an uncut emerald.
You pick up an uncut diamond.
You tap an uncut emerald.
Other person picks up an uncut emerald.
When I suggested that perhaps she should have informed me of those rules beforehand, she informed me that everyone knows that those are the rules for bandit groups.
I don't particularly care much about the deal, I'm just curious if there are established loot rules for bandit groups that I was unaware of, or if she's just being a cunt.
EDIT: Added log for those asking, mostly cleaned up.

You ponder.
Jeril pokes Fleurs in the ribs.
Fleurs exclaims, "Way to steal the loot!"
Fleurs's group just went east.
You lean forward, pleading with an undisguised gaze of pure greed!
Fleurs says, "Joining my bandits for the loot." Seriously thought she was joking, since Grimswarm loot sucks and you can make 473820x more in Nelemar.
Fleurs gazes in wonder at her surroundings.
You nod to Fleurs.
You hold out your palm, looking for a handout.
You search the half-elven thug.

Fleurs stares at you.
Fleurs asks, "Really, do you mind?" Thought she was referring to me coning, which I did twice or so while she bitched, saying to wait for ewave first. So she ewaved, then I coned another time.
You say, "You said wait til you ewave."
You say, "So I did."
You poke Fleurs in the ribs.
Fleurs says, "I'm gathering the loot so we can share."
You chuckle.
Fleurs asks, "You know, sharing?"

"That's, like, a yeast infection waiting to happen"
Jeril starts chuckling at you!
You slide a twisted gold ring off your finger.
You slide the ring on your finger.
You feel a little pulse in the ring.

You stub your toe trying to kick the ring!
Fleurs says, "You know I didn't invite you." This is true. I just came along for the pwnage, not realizing that shitty gems are serious business.

Quick, powerful slash!
Lissanne's chest is ripped open!
>A human marauder leaps out of his hiding place!
In an awe inspiring display of combat mastery, a human marauder engages Lissanne in a furious dance macabre, spiralling into a blur of strikes and ripostes!

You say, "Coulda told me beforehand too ya know."
The ghostly voice of Lissanne softly exclaims, "Well dirty word!"
Fleurs says, "Yes, well, the people I hunt with don't just take all the loot." Like that pink sapphire.
You trace a series of glowing runes while chanting the phrase for Familiar Gate...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture.
Pale, swirling mist begins to billow out from nothingness before you, and quickly coalesces into a small orb of shifting essence. Suddenly, the orb expands and forms an elliptical portal of swirling blues and blacks, its edges shrouded in dancing blue-white mist.

You drag Lissanne through the shifting portal.
[Dragonspine and Krodera]
The street widens into a circular plaza several hundred feet across. Dwarves and giantmen lounge on stone benches by a massive granite fountain in the center. The burbling of the waters, the low mumblings of the dwarves and the booming laughter of the giants somehow blend together into a vibrant harmony. You also see a shifting portal, a forest mouse, a silver-streaked arrow, a pristine hulking giant statue, a lava tube and a wrought iron sign.
Also here: Jaqen, Lady Lourraine who is sitting
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west
The shifting portal shimmers slightly, the haze within its glowing outline growing opaque as it contracts to a pinpoint of blue-grey mist and vanishes.
Roundtime: 8 sec.
Fleurs's group just arrived.
You poke Fleurs in the ribs.
Speaking to Fleurs, you ask, "Nothing to say then? People should just know ahead of time?"
You shrug.
You sit down.
You put a pure white runestaff in your alchemist's coat.
Fleurs says, "People should know that different people don't just start grabbing."
Fleurs says, "If it's not your bandits."
Fleurs says, "One person will collect and share."
You say, "I grab loot off stuff I killed."
Fleurs says, "That's not the way bandits work."
>You say, "I didn't take anything from anything anyone else killed."

Fleurs says, "And I didn't ask for help."
Fleurs asks, "So?"
Fleurs says, "Bandits are group kills."
You say, "You look like you need it, judging by Lissanne dying so fast."
You elbow Fleurs in the ribs in a playful sort of way.
Fleurs says, "And you didn't even let other people get hits in." Total bullshit. I just landed a lot of killing blows, using 908 99% of the time. Maybe Fleurs is just slow, I dunno.
Jeril starts chuckling at you!
You say, "I stood around waiting for people to attack before I did."
You say, "Not my fault they just happened ot die when I cast at them."
Fleurs says, "Whatever."
You say, "Or..."
Fleurs says, "No help needed."
Fleurs says, "Next."
Fleurs says, "The polite thing is e-wave first."
You say, "You could just inform me next time instead of being so pissy about everything."
Fleurs says, "Instead of coning first."
You chuckle.
Fleurs says, "Or you could stop acting so selfish in a group hunting event." WUT?
You say, "Yeah, then I coned after you ewaved and you threw a fit anyway."
Fleurs says, "Instead of not listening."
Fleurs asks, "Don't cone?"
Fleurs says, "Fireballs kill slower."
You say, "I didn't cone after that."
You say, "Since you apparently weren't paying attention."
Fleurs says, "Everyone's supposed to get a hit in each round."
Fleurs says, "Oh just drop it."
>You chuckle at Fleurs.
>Fleurs says, "I'm not hunting with you, and that's the end."
You say, "You're the one throwing the fit. I'm just flabbergasted at how you're acting over it."
Fleurs reaches out and holds Jeril's hand.
You wave to Jeril.
