My friends and I were playing yesterday, and a situation arose that made us question what the agreement to "help" really meant. Player A was level 7 and was fighting the Plutonium Dragon. He was unable to defeat him, so Player B stated "I'll help for all of the treasure." Player A agreed, and then Player B played Polymorph Potion. Player B assumed he was entitled to all of the treasure still, but Player A argued that the original agreement meant help "kill" the monster, and since it wasn't killed, Player B did not hold up his end of the bargain and deserved none of the treasure. I've never played this way before, and was unsure if there are any official stipulations around the term offering to help. I've looked on the forum but couldn't find this exact situation. Thanks for the help!
