Hey guys so I don’t really ever post anything here but I needed some help and I figured this was the place to go.
So recently me and a few friends have been playing lost mines of phandelver. We’re all fairly new at this, and for most of us it’s our first time playing. So we were going thru the lair of the red brands, coming in thru the secret passage. Long story short the rogue was trying to take talon even though it was much better suited for our ranger. Eventually we got to the room with the 3 skeletons and once prying open the sarcophagus’s the rogue took the platinum ring he found inside for himself. Our ranger(being controlled by the dm since the player wasn’t there) tried to take the ring from him so he wouldn’t just hoard it. This eventually escalated into the rogue making an attack against the ranger, getting a critical, and taking away half of his health. I scolded him because I only have so many healing spells and I would have to waste one now, and told him to give me the two platinum rings he was holding. He instead ran away, with our warlock close behind. However the warlock and the rogue decide to split off from the party and keep the rings. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do?
Ultimately seems like player issues, Best handled outside of play. This game is cooperative in nature, so person vs person fighting in game is generally frowned upon.
if the rogue is keen on stealing, there’s a whole world of NPCs to loot from. PCs are friends. Remind him that the people he is cheating are the same people who guard him while he sleeps, fights with him in dungeons, etc...

Agreed. He’s playing a video game, not a role playing game.
