OOC: Let's do a quick encumbrance check.
Carrying capacity for normal strength characters (we use the table from Appendix A, page 39):
0-75lb = 12" movement, 76-100 = 9", 101-150 = 6", 151-225 = 3"
For Willie and Wilbur, 0-100=12", 101-150=9", 151-200=6", 201-300=3"
Current encumbrance (not including most recent haul):
Willie 169lb (6" move)
Dougal 91 (9")
Dame Simonetta 146 (6")
Kiplyn 94 (9")
Wilbur 189 (6")
Dame Simonetta takes the 2 potions (2lb encumbrance each) which puts her to 150lb.
Who is taking Athena's Owl Medallion and who is carrying the 30lb sack of silver nuggets?
As to the bronze armour, let's say it can be split into two parts: 30lb of smaller pieces that can be tetris'd into a large sack, and the breastplate, which is 20lb and bulky, so maybe it gets strapped to the outside of your backpack or something.
Where is the party headed next? If you're returning to the surface, then I'm willing to handwave it all, say that you take turns carrying it and eventually make it back to the surface (barring any wandering monster checks). But if you're soldiering on, it's good to know who's carrying what.
For what it's worth, I don't think anyone has enough xp to level up from this encounter. Willie needs about 400xp to reach 2nd level fighter, and this encounter isn't quite going to get him there, assuming an equal split of the treasure. If the other players wanted to be generous and let Willie take all 400xp for the medallion, or something along those lines, I would allow it.
